FileNotFoundError when running run_squad.py
## ❓ Questions & Help

I tried fine-tuning BERT on squad on my local computer. The script I ran was

```
python3 ./examples/run_squad.py \
    --model_type bert \
    --model_name_or_path bert-large-uncased-whole-word-masking \
    --do_train \
    --do_eval \
    --do_lower_case \
    --train_file $SQUAD_DIR/train-v1.1.json \
    --predict_file $SQUAD_DIR/dev-v1.1.json \
    --learning_rate 3e-5 \
    --num_train_epochs 2 \
    --max_seq_length 384 \
    --doc_stride 128 \
    --output_dir ../models/wwm_uncased_finetuned_squad/ \
    --per_gpu_eval_batch_size=3   \
    --per_gpu_train_batch_size=3   \
```
But I get an error with regards to the `train-v1.1.json` not being found. The full output is

And I get the following error

```

```

You need to download that json on squad website and put to your local
directory zzz
