Python: “../DATA/file.csv” no longer working for file opening

Question

Since a while, I have been using the short syntax ('../DAT/file.csv') to get to files under DATA folder. Since this morning, it is not working anymore and I am getting the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../DATA/file.csv'

Any thoughts? Code I am using is below:

Thanks in advance,

df = pd.read_csv('../DATA/moviereviews.csv')

1. Check if your current directory is the one you expect it to be (ie the one that is beside the DATA directory). You can use the following to do so:

import os
print(os.getcwd())

2. Check that DATA/moviereviews.csv actually exists.
