Error: ValueError: Invalid pattern: '**' can only be an entire path component.
Cause: This error occurs if you're using the `**` wildcard in a pattern or path incorrectly. The `**` wildcard can only be used to match an entire path component, not part of one.
Solution: To fix this error, you need to use the `*` wildcard instead of the `**` wildcard. The `*` wildcard can be used to match any number of characters in a path component, including zero characters.
Example:
# Incorrect Usage with ** pattern = "**/*.py" # Correct Usage with * pattern = "*.py"
In the example above, the `**/*.py` pattern will try to match any file that ends in `.py`, regardless of its directory structure. This is incorrect because the `**` wildcard can only be used to match an entire path component. The `*.py` pattern will correctly match any file that ends in `.py`, regardless of its directory structure.
If you're using the `datasets` package, an update to version 2.15.0 or later is also necessary to fix this error.
Steps to resolve the issue:
- Update the `datasets` package by running the following command:
pip install -U datasets
Restart the kernel and execute all necessary commands again.
Note: Comment out the updates after restarting the kernel to avoid reinstallation.
