How to set current working directory ?

[SamPosh]

In my python file I am opening a file , the file path contains my_tool/input.yaml

/workspaces |__ my_tool | tool.py | input.yaml

I opened the file in neovim and execute the tool.py

f __name__ == "__main__":
    filepath = "my_tool/input.yml"
    with open(filepath, "r") as f:
        input_data = yaml.load(f, Loader=yaml.SafeLoader)

it fails as Thread stopped due to exception of type FileNotFoundError

But if i change the filepath to 'input.yml' then it works. Seems like current working directory is set to file path. Can I modify the cwd? How to do it? Is there an option available for it?

You can set the working directory via a cwd property in the :h dap-configuration. See also :help dap-python.DebugpyLaunchConfig for a list of the options or https://github.com/microsoft/debugpy/wiki/Debug-configuration-settings

And there's also a part in the readme about customizing the default configurations: https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap-python#custom-configuration

@mfussenegger sorry to open this back up again but if I am understanding correctly the configuration is global, right? Obviously, I want the working directory to be different from python project to python project so is there a way to configure it at the project level?

Thanks.

Edit: So I tried making a .vscode/launch.json file in the root directory of my project that looked like this:

{
   "version": "0.2.0",
   "configurations": [
       {
           "type": "python",
           "request": "launch",
           "name": "Launch",
           "cwd": "/home/luca/Documents/Projects/Head_Hunter_9000"
       }
   ]
}

And I put the following line in my ~/.config/nvim/after/plugin/dappython.lua: require('dap.ext.vscode').load_launchjs()

This did not seem to change my working directory. I feel like I am close though...

Okay I had to add "program": "${file}" to the configuration. Also feel like an idiot b.c. I wasn't using the write debug launcher... So everything is resolved.
