VS Code debugger cannot find the file, but file exists

I'm using VS Code for Python (anaconda package and OpenCV).

I'm debugging the program (pressing F5) and I'm getting the error below.

code I'm getting the error with

import cv2 as cv
import os
import numpy as np

pathsyn = os.path.realpath("synset_words.txt")

print("path", pathsyn)

syn = open(pathsyn,"r").read().strip().split("\n")

syncls = [r[r.find("") +1:] for r in syn]

vid = cv.VideoCapture(0)

net = cv.dnn.readNetFromCaffe("Classifiers/model/bvlc_googlenet.prototxt","Classifiers/model/bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel")

though the both synset_words.txt,AI02.py files are in the same directory

both are in the same directory

if I modify the code to

pathsyn = os.path.realpath("OpenCV/synset_words.txt")

then it works.

import cv2 as cv
import os
import numpy as np

pathsyn = os.path.realpath("OpenCV/synset_words.txt")

print("path", pathsyn)

syn = open(pathsyn,"r").read().strip().split("\n")

syncls = [r[r.find("") +1:] for r in syn]

vid = cv.VideoCapture(0)

net = cv.dnn.readNetFromCaffe("OpenCV/Classifiers/model/bvlc_googlenet.prototxt","OpenCV/Classifiers/model/bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel")

Directories; .vscode is outside of the OpenCV folder

this is because .vscode the folder is in the previous directory and my AI02.py and synset_words.txt is in OpenCV folder.

Directory where VS Code is finding the file (where the .vscode folder also):

C:\Users\user\Documents\Python Scripts

but the file is in (where vs code should direct debugger like terminal):

C:\Users\user\Documents\Python Scripts\OpenCV
