----------------------
If a file fails to load during the parsing process, the
SimpleDirectoryReader class in LlamaIndex will report the error and skip the file, continuing with the rest of the files. If you want to add a single file that failed during the initial parsing, you can simply create a new instance of
SimpleDirectoryReader with that single file as the
input_files parameter and call the
load_data() method. This will return a list of documents from the file which you can then extend to your original list of documents.
Here is an example of how you can do this:
failed_file = "path/to/failed/file"
try:
failed_docs = SimpleDirectoryReader(
input_files=[failed_file],
file_extractor=file_extractor
).load_data()
documents.extend(failed_docs)
except Exception as e:
print(f"Failed to load file {failed_file} with error: {e}.")In this code,
failed_file is the path to the file that failed during the initial parsing. The
load_data() method is called on a new
SimpleDirectoryReader instance with
failed_file as the input. The resulting documents are then added to the original list of documents using the
extend() method.
Please note that this code assumes that the error that caused the file to fail during the initial parsing has been resolved. If the same error is still present, this code will also fail to load the file.
For more information, you can refer to the
SimpleDirectoryReader documentation ().
