ERROR: bad DVC file name 'Training_Batch_Files\Wafer12_20012.csv.dvc' is git-ignored

Question

Getting the error "ERROR: bad DVC file name 'Training_Batch_Files\Wafer12_20012.csv.dvc' is git-ignored." while trying to add local files for tracking

Python Version : 3.7

Library used:

pip install dvc pip install dvc[gdrive] dvc init

dvc add -R Training_Batch_Files

Answer 1

The file you want to add (or the folder that contains it) is probably already in the .gitgnore file. If this is the case, you have to remove it first before doing a dvc add.
