[Maya-Python] need help with this error.

[jettam]

When I run this code I get this error. Could someone help me figure this
error out.
Its part of a video tutorial series that explains how to load UI's

# Error: name '__file__' is not defined
# Traceback (most recent call last):
# File "<maya console>", line 1, in <module>
# NameError: name '__file__' is not defined #

import os
from PySide2 import QtWidgets, QtCore, QtUiTools, QtGui
from shiboken2 import wrapInstance
import maya.cmds as mc
import maya.OpenMayaUI as omui

def getMayaWindow():
''' pointer to the maya main window '''
ptr = omui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
if ptr:
return wrapInstance(long(ptr), QtWidgets.QMainWindow)

def run():
''' builds our UI '''
global win
win = GeometryGenerator(parent=getMayaWindow())
win.show()

class GeometryGenerator(QtWidgets.QDialog):

def __init__(self,parent=None):
super(GeometryGenerator,self).__init__(parent)
loader = QtUiTools.QUiLoader()
currentDir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
print("currentDir: {0}".format(currentDir))
currentDir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
print("currentDir: {0}".format(currentDir))

How are you going about executing this code? Are you doing it from an
imported module on your PYTHONPATH, or from within your Script Editor? If
it is from the script editor, then the magic __file__ variable won't be
set, as there is no file; just evaluated code.

Aha! Yes I was trying to run it from the script editor. It now works if I
run it from a module. Thanks.

I have another error.

This is my code:
import os
from PySide2 import QtWidgets, QtCore, QtUiTools, QtGui
from shiboken2 import wrapInstance
import maya.cmds as mc
import maya.OpenMayaUI as omui

def getMayaWindow():
''' pointer to the maya main window '''
ptr = omui.MQtUtil.mainWindow()
if ptr:
return wrapInstance(long(ptr), QtWidgets.QMainWindow)

def run():
''' builds our UI '''
global win
win = GeometryGenerator(parent=getMayaWindow())
win.show()

uiFilePath = os.path.join( os.path.dirname(__file__) ,
'geomGenerator_v001.ui')

class GeometryGenerator(QtWidgets.QDialog):

def __init__(self,parent=None):
super(GeometryGenerator,self).__init__(parent)

loader = QtUiTools.QUiLoader()
print('uiFilePath: {0}'.format(uiFilePath))
xfile = QtCore.QFile(uiFilePath)
xfile.open(QtCore.QFile.ReadOnly)
self.ui = loader.load(file, parentWidget=self)
xfile.close()
layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(myWidget)
self.setLayout(layout)

This is the Error:

I have another error.

What have you tried? Why do you think it happened? Does the error message
tell you anything? Have you searched online for an answer?
