Error when using cdstoolbox

Hello, 

I've been trying to retrieve some ERA5 data (retrieve_ERA5.py) with cdstoolbox, however upon running my script I recieve this error:

2022-05-26 11:15:11,283 INFO Welcome to the CDS

And when importing the api:

    with open(__main__.__file__) as f:
AttributeError: module '__main__' has no attribute '__file__'

If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can fix this, please let me know. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi Jada,

Rather than running the Toolbox workflow on your local system, you would usually run your workflow in the Toolbox editor itself :

https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/user/login?destination=/toolbox-user

or

call the toolbox workflow as a service using the CDS API:

Call a service with the CDS API

Hope that helps,
