run script from spyder console using relative path

Question

I want to run .py file from ipython console in spyder. Script also takes csv file as input. But I got Exception: File src.py not found. How do I run the script from spyder console using relative path?

run src.py input.csv

In what directory are you running the command ? You can check this with the command pwd — Benjamin Rio

In this format, the path to your file is relative to the command working directory. Therefore, with your command, it looks for src.py in the directory where the console is running (that you can check by running pwd).

Therefore, you should either :

input absolute paths
open the command to the directory where your files (the script and the csv) are

thanks! how do i make console automatically switch to the directory of the file opened in editor?

This depends on the configuration of your editor. By default, the terminal opens to the root directory of the opened folder.

To make console automatically switch to the directory of the file opened in editor, goto Preferences->Run and set Default working directory as Directory of the file being executed.
