Sox error when using import cv2 py

The import gets almost done, and throws an error 76% of the way through
dev.tsv. dev.csv is not created. Train.csv and test.csv are. Any ideas
what is happening?

Please avoid posting
screenshots, it's non-usable and difficult to read. Have you tried
running the soxi command by hand to see the error it produces ?

When I run soxi -s common_voice_en_18626157.wav, it complains that the
file does not have a header:
soxi FAIL formats: can't open input filedataset/clips/common_voice_en_18626157.wav':
WAVE: RIFF header not found slash
. slash ` so I removed the file from the system and ran the import again, then
got the same error from the 159.wav file. After that I wondered if my
download or wav creation had had some kind of issue (I ran out of space
on my machine a couple times), so I wiped the whole data set,
reextracted, and reran import_cv2.py. Now I'm just getting the same
error on a different file.

It looks like import_cv2.py is passing on any soxError (back when the
wav files are being created), so maybe I need to get some info instead
of passing.

Currently running a new import that should print any soxError. If that
doesn't shed any light, my only other thought is just to omit files that
throw a soxError, but that doesn't explain why this is happening to me
and no one else seems to be having a problem with the common voice data.

Well, this is wild. I added:

except sox.core.SoxError as ex:
print('SoX processing error', ex, orig_filename, wav_filename)

to import_cv2.py where it was creating the wav files, and I never saw a
single error after that. Everything was imported properly, csvs all got
made, and I'm currently training.

No idea what the issue was.
