Need halp on network project

Question

After importing the project to continue working on this at my own computer. I have JRE in my build path as well as the project folder for game_maps in the build path. I try to run the ServerMain file to simulate the different topologies we have implemented and I get the following:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\game_maps\firewalled.json (The system cannot find the path specified)

Any help would be appreciated!

Curious. Did you change the working directory folder for your launcher for ServerMain?

Try adding this statement to the code right before the error:

String current = new java.io.File( "." ).getCanonicalPath();
System.out.println("Current dir:"+current);

And see what folder your program is executing inside.

As a temporary hack, you can try changing the return statement for ServerMain.chooseNetworkMapFile(...) to:

return mapFile.getAbsolutePath();

However, this isn't a good long-term solution, since it will break things when you do multiplayer across multiple computers, if the installation folder isn't the same...

After getting the current path as you stated I now get:
Current dir: C:\Users\Dylan\Desktop\CyberBattleProjectCSC335\CyberBattleNetworkSim

I'm not sure what is to be expected here other than the master project folder...

Also changing the return to the absolute path seemed to work for the time being.
