[TASK] Check more locations for test data files #359

Closed j-bryan closed 1 month ago

j-bryan commented 1 month ago

Issue Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The FORCE standalone installation contains some HERON examples and the accompanying SyntheticHistory/ARMA ROM files. However, the %HERON_DATA% default location is not easily accessible to users for this installation type. Adding another location to check for these files would facilitate a better user experience for those using the standalone installation and wishing to run the included examples.

Describe the solution you'd like Add an additional location to check for the data directory currently located in HERON's root directory.

Describe alternatives you've considered Edit the example HERON case files to point directly to the included ROMs. However, this presents more difficulties when copying selected tests to the FORCE build package.
