How to execute a file that requires being in the same directory?
python
Solution
To run a process in a different current working directory, use `subprocess.Popen`'s `cwd` parameter:
import subprocess
proc = subprocess.Popen(['file.jar'], cwd = '/path/to/file')
Problem
I have a python script that needs to execute a `.jar` file that is located in another directory. What would be the best way to do this? So far I was thinking - ``` subprocess.call(["cd","/path/to/file"]) subprocess.call(["./file.jar"]) ``` How should I do this? Update: Using both of the answers below, this is what I ended up doing: ``` subprocess.call(shlex.split("./file.jar -rest -of -command"), cwd=COMMAND_FOLDER) ```
