Cannot create a credential file

[FlorinZai]

I need to be located in C:\Users\USERNAME with the current folder in Matlab for the download function to work.
Adding it to windows path as well as Matlab path doesn't fix it.

This is the error:
Error using setupCDSAPIIfNeeded
Cannot create a credential file (\Users\USERNAME.cdsapirc). No such file or directory

The credential file is there with the API key and runs ok with Python.

Hi @FlorinZai, finally getting around to this. What platform were you on? linux?

• Add test infrastructure for mac and linux
• Come up with strategy for mac and linux

Hello, I am on windows.
I just used the workaround with being inside C:\Users\USERNAME for my needs.
