MLOps 100 Days - Day 20 Validation issue

I started the mlflow server with sqlite backend with the db file created in the right location, but the validation is failing.

The argument used for backend store is the following (from the /root/code directory):

--backend-store-uri sqlite:///mlflow-backend/ml-flow.db

The database is also visible in the VSCode file explorer. Could someone please validate?

I guess you are working from the /root/code directory.
Try using an absolute path of the SQLite DB.

--backend-store-uri sqlite:////root/code/mlflow-backend/mlflow.db

Thank you @Santosh_KodeKloud. So that means the validation was verifying the CLI args? If yes, the error message could be more clearer.

Anyway, this fixed the issue.
