make `jlox` support relative paths #16

Open zxul767 opened 1 year ago

zxul767 commented 1 year ago

clox currently supports relative paths when running files as follows:

make run NAME=../samples/basic_class.lox

we should make jlox support the same. at present it throws this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: ../samples/basic_class.lox

marking as p1 because the workaround, although easy, is not intuitive: 

make run NAME=$PWD/../samples/string.lox
