this is my code

import cv2
import numpy as np
from tensorflow.keras.models import load_model
model=load_model("E:\Data Science\Mask detector\model2-008.model")

results={0:'without mask',1:'mask'}
GR_dict={0:(0,0,255),1:(0,255,0)}

rect_size = 4
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0) 


haarcascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier('/home/user_name/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/cv2/data/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml')

while True:
    (rval, im) = cap.read()
    im=cv2.flip(im,1,1) 


    rerect_size = cv2.resize(im, (im.shape[1] // rect_size, im.shape[0] // rect_size))
    faces = haarcascade.detectMultiScale(rerect_size)
    for f in faces:
        (x, y, w, h) = [v * rect_size for v in f] 

        face_img = im[y:y+h, x:x+w]
        rerect_sized=cv2.resize(face_img,(150,150))
        normalized=rerect_sized/255.0
        reshaped=np.reshape(normalized,(1,150,150,3))
        reshaped = np.vstack([reshaped])
        result=model.predict(reshaped)


        label=np.argmax(result,axis=1)[0]

        cv2.rectangle(im,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),GR_dict[label],2)
        cv2.rectangle(im,(x,y-40),(x+w,y),GR_dict[label],-1)
        cv2.putText(im, results[label], (x, y-10),cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX,0.8,(255,255,255),2)

    cv2.imshow('LIVE',   im)
    key = cv2.waitKey(10)

    if key == 27: 
        break

cap.release()

cv2.destroyAllWindows()

your program is running on windows, but you try to use a linux path to the cascade xml file, so it was not loaded.

try to replace the

/home/user_name/.local/lib/python3.6/

part with the path to the python version you really use here. (and ofc. check if the file is there!)

you'll get this error, until you get the path to the haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml right.
