i have a data context created at a custom location using get\_context(mode = ‘file’, context\_root\_dir=path) function. after couple of days, when i try to load the existing context using get\_context(mode = ‘file’, context\_root\_dir=path). I get the error **AttributeError: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘name’**

I see that the “yml” file is also there. Why do i get this error?

Can anyone help?
