Error when executing kedro run

[davidmosca]

Description

After having installed Kedro as per the instructions (https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/get_started/new_project.html#run-the-new-project), I get an error message when I execute kedro run.

Context

This bug prevents me from completing the installation of Kedro.

Steps to Reproduce

activate the kedro environment: conda activate myenv
execute kedro: kedro run

Expected Result

The execution should complete without errors.

Actual Result

The run fails and the the stack trace shows an error message.

Your Environment

• IDE: VSCode
• Kedro version used (pip show kedro or kedro -V): 0.19.3
• Python version used (python -V): 3.11.8
• Operating system and version: Windows 10.0.19045

You need to install the project dependencies to run a project. (which could be pandas, pyspark etc depending what you have selected).

The steps should be

kedro new
cd <project_name>
pip install -r . or pip install -e .
kedro run

If this solve the issue please close the ticket.

I see that the docs are confusing, you need to have a pipeline in order to run kedro run.

kedro new --name=testproject --tools=lint,docs,pyspark --example=n mean you are not selecting any example, thus you have no pipeline/nodes and the error, can you change it to --example=y instead?

[davidmosca]

I see. I don't have a pipeline, I was just following the installation instructions in sequence. The docs would benefit from clarifying that a pipeline is needed. Once I have built one, I will try again. In the meantime, you can close the ticket. Thanks.

Thanks for opening this issue @davidmosca and sorry you had a bumpy first experience.

I don't think this is only a docs issue: if there are no pipelines defined, kedro run should clearly say so:

> kedro run
No pipelines defined, use `kedro pipeline create` to create one
> echo $status
1

[davidmosca]

Then I don't know. I just followed the installation instructions sequentially with tools 1,2,4,5,7. kedro info returns the expected message.

[astrojuanlu]

If anything, there are 2 issues here:

• The docs literally say "Whichever options you selected for tools and example code [...] Now run the project:", which is not exactly correct: a pipeline needs to be there.

kedro/docs/source/get_started/new_project.md

Lines 123 to 133 in 2b6f741

	Whichever options you selected for tools and example code, once `kedro new` has completed, the next step is to navigate to the project folder (`cd <project-name>`) and install dependencies with `pip` as follows:
	```bash
	pip install -r requirements.txt
	```
	Now run the project:
	```bash
	kedro run
	```

• The error message should be 1 line. Maybe Kedro tracebacks are overwhelming #2401 should be a parent issue.

[noklam]

You have selected no project tools

To skip the interactive flow you can run `kedro new` with
kedro new --name=<your-project-name> --tools=<your-project-tools> --example=<yes/no>

Consider adding some warning about an empty project.

• Improve error message Error when executing kedro run #3794 (comment)
• Docs change in https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/get_started/new_project.html#run-the-new-project
• Maybe make this a collapsible section /appendix notes, it should be clear which command user should runs
