Debug function cannot find the Corpus path

[vmatter]

I am trying to use the spacy debug function, however, I am facing this error:

[E913] Corpus path can't be None. Maybe you forgot to define it in your .cfg file or override it on the CLI?

See the error picture below (I tried to show the config.cfg file as well):

I saw some post (not related to the debug function but the training one) commenting that the error might be caused because the dev corpus is empty or something, so I tried to put the same training path to the dev corpus:

[corpora.dev]
@readers = "spacy.Corpus.v1"
path = ${paths.train}
max_length = 0
gold_preproc = false
limit = 0
augmenter = null

However, I still got the same error... This is my whole config.cfg file:

Am I missing some parameter or something else that I need to configure?

Many thanks!

Please do not post screenshots of code/text/errors, it makes them hard to read and impossible to search for.

[paths]
train = null
dev = null
vectors = null
init_tok2vec = null

${paths.train} refers to the value in this block, which is empty, so the debug command doesn't know how to find your data. You can write the path here or specify it on the command line like spacy debug config config.cfg --paths.train myfile.spacy.

Many thanks for the explanation and sorry for the screenshot, I will use only text from now on.
