CLion C++ can't read/open .txt file in project directory

Question

I have a .txt file in my project directory that I made and populated with data.

directory structure looks like:

/Users/asd/ClionProjects/ProjectWithT         


        

Answer 1

I'm going to presume that the working directory is being set to the path to the executable file instead of your CMakeLists.txt file.

To fix this, EITHER:

1. put the .txt next to the executable file
2. Explicitly set the working directory for debugging
3. Enter the full path to the .txt file as explained in ti7's answer.
