I first installed knime in C drive and uninstalled it at some point because i wanted knime to be in my D drive. Now the issue is the preference folder in knime is still looking at what was in C drive plugins so it
C:\Users\name\knime-workspace.metadata.plugins
but i want it to be D:\knime-workspace.metadata.plugins
D:\knime-workspace.metadata.plugins exists already but knime app is not picking it up,
any ideas how i can change the directory for knime to know where the plugins directory is actually?
Can you confirm if there are any references to the old workspace location (C drive) in the .ini file? Additionally, what error message are you encountering when you try to run the workflow?
Also, please check if KNIME is still using the old workspace on the C drive, or if it’s correctly pointing to the new workspace on the D drive.
I don’t see any references to the C drive. An ini file attachment is included for reference.
All my workflows are located on the D drive. To address the issue, I deleted the plugins from the C drive and copy-pasted the plugins from the D drive into the C drive.
It seems the workflow only detects the C drive plugins when I run it in batch mode using .bat files. I discovered this when Apache Spark pyscript node wouldn’t run in batch mode but worked when I opened KNIME directly. However, after copying the plugins from the C drive to the D drive, it worked in batch mode as well.
It’s an easy workaround but if i can have it point to the right directory it’ll be more convenient.
Thanks for your response! I’m not entirely sure what’s causing the issue either, but I’m glad to hear that you’ve found a workaround that works for now.
