title: VSCode file not found for file in current directory
body: <p>I have a basic python script to open a file. The script and the file being opened are in the same folder.</p>
  
  <p>If I use the command line in the folder, it works just fine, but from VS Code I'm getting a File not found error.</p>

  <p>I have set via the preferences the CWD and it put this in my settings.json</p>
  
  <pre><code>    "python.testing.cwd": "${fileDirname}",
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From the terminal window in VS Code when I run the code (F5) I can see it's even changing directory to where the program is.</p>
  
  <pre><code>(base) C:\Users\Neil&gt;cd "e:\DATA\Projects\Modelling\Long Drop Data" &amp;&amp; cmd /C E:\DATA\Dev\MiniConda\python.exe c:\Users\Neil\.vscode\extensions\ms-python.python-2019.6.24221\pythonFiles\ptvsd_launcher.py --default --client --host localhost --port 50397 "e:\DATA\Projects\Modelling\Long Drop Data\read_data.py" "
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone help?</p>
