I am new to the Julia. I am using ArchGDAL to open and write raster data, but I keep getting this error.  
GDALError (CE\_Failure, code 1): GDALOpen() called on “/path/to/file” recursively

Is anyone familiar with this error?  
Thank you in advance.

strange 🤔

imho: check the github issues

- [https://github.com/yeesian/ArchGDAL.jl/search?q=CE\_Failure&type=issues](https://github.com/yeesian/ArchGDAL.jl/search?q=CE_Failure&type=issues)

and please give more information:

- operation system ( win, linux, osx, …)
- julia version
- ArchGDAL version
  - `st ArchGDAL`
    - `ArchGDAL v0.9.1` ?

And if you have a minimal example code to reproduce the error … it will be helpful!

in the ideal case - you will find a similar test code - you can adapt

I reinstalled GDAL and it worked.  
Thank you
