Why do different code editors treat paths differently?

Question

PyCharm

I open the project in pycharm, everything works fine: I open the same project in visualcode, it gives an error:
Image.open('test_images/pfdVxnWc1ww.jpg')

File "C:\Users\user\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 2809, in open
    fp = builtins.open(filename, "rb")
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'test_images/pfdVxnWc1ww.jpg'

The project structure is as follows:
main_dir:

• script.py
  
• test_images
  
  • pfdVxnWc1ww.jpg
    
  
  

Answer 1

First, neither pycharm nor visualcode are editors. It's an IDE. And when working IN EACH of them, you need to configure the environment and the working directory. Start with the last one - setting up the working directory. Or explicitly specify the full path to your object.
