There are a few possible solutions to resolve the FileNotFoundError while running a subprocess.run:

  1. Check the file path: Make sure the file path to the desired file is correct and exists. The error is often caused by an incorrect or non-existent file path.

  2. Specify the full path: Instead of specifying just the filename, provide the full path to the file. For example, instead of "myfile.txt", use "/home/user/myfile.txt".

  3. Use os.chdir(): Change the current working directory to the folder where the file is located using the os.chdir() method before running the subprocess.

  4. Use shell=True: Set the "shell" parameter to True in the subprocess.run() method, which allows the use of command-shell syntax. This approach is not secure and may pose a security risk.

  5. Check file permissions: Make sure that the file permission allows access. If the file is read-only, make sure that the current user has read permission for that file.

  6. Use exceptions handling: Use exception handling to catch the FileNotFoundError and handle it gracefully. This can include displaying an error message or logging the error to a file.
