I’m stuck on Stage #QV8.

I reorganized my files and all of a sudden this doesn’t work anymore, not sure why, I am getting this error

```auto

```

I don’t remember needing a version header in the previous challenge

@isaacfink, could you [upload your code to GitHub](https://docs.codecrafters.io/features/publish-to-github) and share the link? It will be much easier to debug if I can run it directly.

@isaacfink I ran your code and logged the values of **base\_directory** and **file\_path** before and after this line:

It looks like **file\_path** is already resolved by that point, so no need to concatenate it with **base\_directory** again.
