When performing the tutorial for Refinitiv Data Library for Python I did all according to the suggestions. I created a config-file with the credentials (I checked: they are correct!) and in the Quickstart tutorial I tried QS_1.0 - Sessions.ipynb.
At the rd.open_session() statement I get a lot of errors, ending with the "RDError: Error code 0 | Error happened during config file ../Configuration\refinitiv-data.config.json read"
But the config file is in the path.

I have refinitiv data version 1.3.0.

I want a platform session.
This is the file refinitiv-data.config.json:

{

"logs": {

"level": "debug",

"transports": {

"console": {

"enabled": true

},

"file": {

"enabled": false,

"name": "refinitiv-data-lib.log"

}

}

},

"sessions": {
"default": "platform.rdp",
"platform": {
"rdp": {
"app_key": "53xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"username": "xxxxxxx",
"password": "xxxxxxxx"
},
},
"desktop": {
"workspace": {
"app-key": "YOUR APP KEY GOES HERE!"
}
}
}
}

So what is the reason for this problem?
