Couldn't open png, python pygame, same directory

I'm writing a game in python using pygame. I have a code:

    imageJBird = pygame.image.load("jbirdnapis.png")

Everything was working but suddenly it stopped. Now I have an error "Couldn't open jbirdnapis.png". The image is in the same directory as the code. I use Pycharm to execute the game. It works on other contributor's computer - also Ubuntu, the same version. We have the same version from git repository. Any ideas?

It runs script in folder view, not in view/states‌ so it is searching image in view.

You can get script's folder and add to all images. 

import os

folder = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

imageJBird = pygame.image.load(os.paht.join(folder, "jbirdnapis.png"))

It will be usefull when you will run in different places.
