Source not found: File outside of allowed directories.solidity(6275)

[BikalpaRegmi]

Why do i keep getting this warning or error even if i have allowed them in my foundry.toml

These are my import in (PuppyRaffle.sol) -:

import {ERC721} from "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol";
import {Ownable} from "@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol";
import {Address} from "@openzeppelin/contracts/utils/Address.sol";
import {Base64} from "lib/base64/base64.sol";

Also in my Test File (PuppyRaffleTest.t) -:

import {Test, console} from "forge-std/Test.sol";
import {PuppyRaffle} from "../src/PuppyRaffle.sol";

My Toml File -:

[profile.default]
src = "src"
out = "out"
libs = ["lib"]
allow_paths = ["src", "lib"]

remappings = ['@openzeppelin/contracts=lib/openzeppelin-contracts/contracts']

# See more config options https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry/blob/master/crates/config/README.md#all-options

The Error Like this in all of my imports.-:
Source "lib/openzeppelin-contracts/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol" not found: File outside of allowed directories.

May be this is an silly issue because I came from hardhat background. I'll be glad if someone helped me.

What does allow_paths = ["src", "lib"] do? I have never included in my Foundry.toml

When you do forge build do you run into this error? I mean are you able to compile your project?

[BikalpaRegmi]

Yes I am able to compile my project when I do forge build. But I am unable to use console.log function due to this

[EngrPips]

Please show the file in which you tried to use console.log, and what error you ran into when you tried to use console.log?

Thank you so much for your response and for offering to help! I really appreciate your time and effort.

Solution:

The issue occurred because I was writing code in the wrong directory.

I was inside the /web3Security/ directory instead of the correct directory, /web3Security/4-puppy-raffle-audit.

How I fixed the error:

1. I navigated to the correct directory:
   cd /web3Security/4-puppy-raffle-audit

2. Once I was inside the 4-puppy-raffle-audit directory, the error Source not found: File outside of allowed directories.solidity(6275) was resolved.

This was a silly mistake which took me one day to fix lol.

This should help others facing a similar problem in the future !
