Execute file in specific path bash

Question

i'm using Stacoan for vulnerability analysis ( https://github.com/vincentcox/StaCoAn ), i want to use it in a pipeline, but when i run stacoan binary or python script in other path, i obtain errors (using stacoan.py):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/jenkins/StaCoAn/src/stacoan.py", line 18, in <module>
    from helpers.project import Project
  File "/home/jenkins/StaCoAn/src/helpers/project.py", line 11, in <module>
    from helpers.file import File
  File "/home/jenkins/StaCoAn/src/helpers/file.py", line 12, in <module>
    class File:
  File "/home/jenkins/StaCoAn/src/helpers/file.py", line 15, in File
    non_regex_indicator = config.get("ProgramConfig", 'non_regex_indicator')
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/configparser.py", line 781, in get
    d = self._unify_values(section, vars)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/configparser.py", line 1149, in _unify_values
    raise NoSectionError(section) from None
configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'ProgramConfig'

Using stacoan executable:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/python/3.6.2/lib/python3.6/configparser.py", line 1138, in _unify_values
KeyError: 'ProgramConfig'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'ProgramConfig'
[81859] Failed to execute script stacoan

This doesn't occurs if i run it in its own path, i tried a simbolic link, executing using absolute path and build an executable but i still obtains errors.

Thanks!

NOTE: I know is a deprecated repository, but my team want to use it

You could use:

os.chdir(path)
