No such file or directory even though it is set to write mode. How to fix this problem and how can I properly do it?

Question

So I'm trying to generate a text document in Python and I want the generated file to be uploaded. However, even if I set the function to write mode, I get this error:

Code (text_document_generator.py):

import os

def writeToAndUploadFile(filename, filecontents): # This function generates the text file and returns the file name.
    path = "text_documents/"
    textfile = open(os.path.join(path, filename + ".txt"), "w")
    textfile.write(filecontents)
    textfile.close()
    return textfile.name

Code (main.py):

@client.command(aliases = ["newtextdoc"])
async def new_text_doc(ctx, filename, *, filecontents):
    await ctx.send("Text document successfully generated.")
    await ctx.send(file=discord.File(text_file_generator.writeToAndUploadFile(filename, filecontents)))

If this is obvious, sorry. I'm slightly new to making apps in Python. I've done os.path.join as well but it doesn't seem to work.

Answer 1

The text file dosen't seem to be created, then use:

textfile = open(os.path.join(path, filename + ".txt"), "w+")

The text file will be created automatically if does not exist.
