P. S. I am starting to think my .json file is invalid/incorrect because it has a lot of other characters than one shown in this video:
You would get a different error if it's caused by an invalid wallet.aes.json's payload/format.
We'll see if you've copied the wrong response (
payload) after fixing the current issue with the pathing error.
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:/XXX/recovery/wallet.aes.json'
I have made a new directory and pasted the .json file there, but getting this error.
If you're positive that the path is correct, the only Windows thing that may have caused this is its default hidden "
common file extension" option.
If you initially created a text file to make that wallet file, its actual name may be "
wallet.aes.json.txt" with hidden ".
txt" extension.
So, try to enable the settings in your Windows Explorer in "
View->Show->File Name Extensions", then rename the wallet file correctly.
