FileNotFoundError in Python Visul Studio-CodePudding

I get this when I try to run my python project code

with open("config.json", "r") as f: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'config.json'

what is a solution for this?

here is a screenshot of the code and everything.

CodePudding user response：

the file config.jason needs to be in your current working directory to be found by open if you do not use a full path. Your cwd is probably where you launched python. To check do

    import os
    print(os.getcwd())

Your easiest solution is probably to use a full path name for the file.

As shown in the screenshot of the IDE, you should exactly point out where the .json file. Now the json file and python code are not located in the same folder.

FYI, there are two types of path, absolute path and relative path. Please see https://www.kite.com/python/answers/how-to-find-the-absolute-and-relative-path-of-a-file-in-pythonhttps://www.kite.com/python/answers/how-to-find-the-absolute-and-relative-path-of-a-file-in-python

with open("/file program/config.json", "r") as f
    content = f.read()
    # do something

Or, just move out the config.json file to the folder, which the python code is located.
