Copy the exact input argument from the failing command and confirm that path exists exactly as written, from the directory the command runs in.

Run the info tool on the same input and read whether it can list layers.

If the input is a shapefile, list the folder and confirm the sidecar files with the same base name are all present alongside the main file.

Print the available drivers and confirm a driver for the input format is listed.

If the input is a database or a remote service, test that connection separately with its own client using the same address and database name from the command.

Rerun the conversion with the corrected path or complete file set and a simple output first.
