Powershell Filepath command is being altered by Pycharm-CodePudding

I'm trying to run a file path powershell command through python. `

import subprocess
subprocess.call('powershell.exe cd OneDrive\Desktop\OpenPose\openpose-1.7.0-binaries-win64-gpu-python3.7-flir-3d_recommended', shell=True)

` The error message displays: Cannot find path 'C:\Users\cubeow\OneDrive\Desktop\OpenPoseImplementation\OneDrive\Desktop\OpenPose\openpose-1.7.0-binarie s-win64-gpu-python3.7-flir-3d_recommended' because it does not exist.

The error message showed that they had added a root path in front of my command, in which "OpenPoseImplementation" was my Pycharm file path. How can I make it so that they don't add that extra file path in front of my command?

I tried to google other reddit and stackoverflow but I couldn't find any working solutions

CodePudding user response：

You're mistakenly using a relative path to target your OneDrive folder, which therefore depends on whatever happens to be the current folder you're running your Python script from.

Use an absolute path instead (~ represents your Windows profile directory, as also reflected in $HOME):

import subprocess
subprocess.call('powershell.exe cd ~\OneDrive\Desktop\OpenPose\openpose-1.7.0-binaries-win64-gpu-python3.7-flir-3d_recommended', shell=True)

Note:

As written, this command doesn't actually do anything (it changes the current location (working directory) and then exits). Additional PowerShell commands would have be to be appended, separated with ;
