No such file or directory when using console despite working fine in IDE/IDLE

Question

My Python file has been working fine during testing in VSC and also works fine when using IDLE. Unfortunately when I run the file using Python it crashes instantly and gives me the error

FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory.

This is the line of code it gets stuck on if that matters.

clickSound = pygame.mixer.Sound("click.wav")

Thank you for any and all help. I am using Python for Windows if it helps.

@Voo Could you clarify what you mean by that please? All files are in the same folder as the script. — David, Mar 27 '21 at 12:10

It looks like it can't find that file. Try to fix the path to a relative one. Or place "click.wav" in the same directory as your python file you are running using Python.

Hi, thank you for your answer. All relevant files are in the same folder/directory so I can't imagine that's the issue. Could you clarify what you mean by fixing the path to a relative one please? – David Mar 27 '21 at 12:14
