# 🛠️ Troubleshooting

## `pip install` fails with `FileNotFoundError`

When using a project that uses `local_dependencies: [../not/current/dir]` in the `requirements.yaml` file:

```yaml
local_dependencies:
  # File in a different directory than the pyproject.toml file
  - ../common-requirements.yaml
```

You might get an error like this when using a `pip` version older than `22.0`:

```bash
$ pip install /path/to/your/project/using/unidep
  ...
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/pathlib.py", line 1222, in open
    return io.open(self, mode, buffering, encoding, errors, newline,
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/pathlib.py", line 1078, in _opener
    return self._accessor.open(self, flags, mode)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/common-requirements.yaml'
```

The solution is to upgrade `pip` to version `22.0` or newer:

```bash
pip install --upgrade pip
```
