Why do I get the same error code when Geocoding?

Geographic Information Systems Asked by Louis Tate on December 22, 2020

Whenever I use the ‘MMQGIS’ plug in to ‘Geocode’ a CSV file containing postcodes to get the longitude and latitude which will enable me to plot the locations as a layer on QGIS, it always come up with the error code seen below.

Failure creating output file: Creation of data source failed (OGR error: C:Userslouis.gorringeDesktopChemical.shp is not a directory.)

So although the shapefile may be present after running the geocoding. whenever I exit QGIS versions 3.10.0 and re open it, all shapefiles have dissapered. Why is this happening?

One Answer

I was having the same issue, what seemed to work is to create an empty directory, and save the .shp file in that, e.g.:

C:Userslouis.gorringeDesktopChemicalChemical.shp

Also, make sure the Not Found Output List is saved to a different directory.
