Potential Cause:
I believe this error is due to the backslash path separators not acting similarly on macOSX. The problem was resolved on my machine by simply changing the backslashes to forward slashes, although I'm not sure whether or not that will impact the execution of the code on windows.
Changed to forward slashes. Thanks.
