It seems that you are using quite an old version of TeXworks. I would
advise to update to a more recent version.
This particular error message comes from the fact that if no
synchronization match is found (the filename to open is empty), TeXworks
(naturally) fails to open the file. This error is silenced in recent
versions (since
https://github.com/TeXworks/texworks/commit/ebd369c8c5cb234debac6cb7eb29655e1b08a820).

HTH,
Stefan
