This problem seems to be a duplicate of one submitted a few months ago but I saw resolution posted.
I attached a simple workflow that creates a variable with a filename. When I try to use it in the Filereader node, I get the error “Errors loading flow variables into node : Coding issue: Cannot create URL of data file from ‘C:\Users\scott.mcleod\Documents\Knime Data Files\Sample2.csv’ in filereader config”.
What may contribute to the issue is that I used the “Preserve user settings” when configuring the node so the column data types don’t change from run to run. That was a needed step because when my file had USA Postal Codes it decided that column was integer. but when I read a file of Canada postal codes, it changed data type to String.
I includes a simple 3 node example of the issue. The attached CSV has a single record in it that the sample workflow is unable to read.
