IOError with relative path in VS code

I have this simple code

def main():
    ff = open("../text_learning/test_email.txt", "r")

when I try to run it in Visual Studio code I get this error:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../text_learning/test_email.txt'

But when I run it from cmd it works.

Any idea why the Visual Studio code is causing troubles?

The dir tree:

└───ud120-projects
    ├───.vscode
    ├───choose_your_own
    ├───datasets_questions
    ├───decision_tree
    ├───evaluation
    ├───feature_selection
    ├───final_project
    │   └───emails_by_address
    ├───k_means
    ├───naive_bayes
    ├───outliers
    ├───pca
    ├───regression
    ├───svm
    ├───text_learning
    ├───tools
    └───validation

The Visual Studio code is opened to the root directory (ud120-projects).

Just change the path to 

open("text_learning/test_email.txt", "r")

instead of

open("../text_learning/test_email.txt", "r")
