I mean........there's not really a way for Arrow to know if you're "close" to a valid file or if the file actually doesn't exist? Saying it doesn't exist is still accurate, even if you mistype it.

So why then it doesn't say that file doesn't exist?

[jangorecki]

x = Arrow.Table("dir/non-existing_file.feather")
#ERROR: ArgumentError: dir/non-existing_file.feather is not a valid arrow file

I am on arrow 1.0.1.

@quinnj is it going to be left like that?

[quinnj]

Ah, my bad; I was confused and thought we already said it didn't exist. Will change.
