Error while running pyFoamPlotRunner

Hi everyone.

I'm totally new to pyFoam. To cut to the chase, I face this error while trying to get cavity case outputs by:

pyFoamPlotRunner.py icoFoam

Code:

Error in /usr/local/bin/pyFoamPlotRunner.py : FatalError in PyFoam: 

'PyFoam FATAL ERROR on line 617 of file /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages

/PyFoam/Applications/PyFoamApplication.py: Case /home/ali/Desktop/cavity/logs 

 does not have a 'system' directory' in Application-class: PlotRunner

Any help?

Thanks

I guess you're trying to start a run in a sub-directory of your actual case (the last part "logs" of the path indicates that this is whhere you store the logs). Go up one directory and it should work
