How can I change the default location where a .conf file is created to any custom location?

Efthymios

Hello Community,

I am using the great expectations package in a dss project for my Data Quality checks.

I have already installed it in my code env and using it in a python script for the time being.

Even though, the package properly runs in a python notebook when I save it back to recipe I get the following error:

"

Job failed: Error in Python process: At line 15: <class 'PermissionError'>: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/dataiku/.great_expectations/great_expectations.conf'

"

I think the error occurs because the package is creating .conf file in my dss user home , I need to change the default location to any custom location. Can you please help me on how to override the default location of the 'great_expectations.conf' file to another directory outside of the dss user's HOMEDIR ?

Thanks in advance,

Efthymios D.

This is not a Dataiku question but a great expectations package question so probably best to raise as a discussion in the great_expectations/discussions Github repo. It does look like you can pass the configuration values as environment variables or as parameters to get_context():
