Trouble opening files in python with VS Code

Question

I can\'t seem to open basic text files when I run a python script in VS Code, the code runs fine when I use it in Idle but VSCode will give me a FileNotFound error, is there

Answer 1

In your VSCode for Windows

File --> Preferences --> Settings --> (User)Extensions --> Python -->

Terminal: Execute In File Dir --> Check It

or

File --> Preferences --> Settings --> Search Settings --> python.terminal.executeInFileDir

Answer 2

Whenever you need to debug, you need to change the path of the file to open it in debug mode by simply:

1. Going to the explorer
2. Right click on the file and click on copy relative path
3. Put that path in open

That should help you!

Answer 3

Try setting

"python.terminal.executeInFileDir": true,

in your VSCode Settings
