So I want to migrate from Spyder to VSCode, and I come across this problem where I cannot access a dataset as my working directory is not the same as the dataset's path.
launch.json is not auto-generated for me as I'm not debugging anything (I tried this).
How do I set the working directory to always be the dir of the Python file I want to run, in VSCode? (and if it's bad practice, could you show me a config that is easy to work with?) I'd like to set this up for VSCode's IPython terminal.

To do so, open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and enter Preferences: Open User Settings. Then set python.condaPath , which is in the Python extension section of User Settings, with the appropriate path.
To change the current working directory(CWD) os. chdir() method is used. This method changes the CWD to a specified path. It only takes a single argument as a new directory path.
Just close Visual Studio Code and open it in the right folder again. Press Command + O and open your folder.
I think the setting you need is here:
File > Preferences > Settings > Python > Data Science > Execute in File Dir
