I saw this project show up in some newsletters. Awesome project idea. I've been using 'vulture' so far.

But when i try to run analyze or check.

Running quality check...

Complexity analysis failed: [INVALID_INPUT] no Python files found in the specified paths

Dead code analysis failed: [INVALID_INPUT] no Python files found in the specified paths

  Clone detection failed: no Python files found in the specified paths
Error: analysis failed with errors

I'm certainly in a folder with python files.





Wow, was it really in some newsletters? That's awesome to hear, and would definitely explain the recent spike on GitHub!

Thanks a lot for the bug report and for providing the details. I have a hunch—it's possible that you need to explicitly specify the path depending on your directory structure. For example, if your Python files are under a src directory, could you try running it like [your_tool_name] analyze src/?

If that still doesn't solve the problem, it would be a huge help if you could open a quick issue on GitHub for this.

Thanks again for your feedback!
