Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '../config.json'

Question

Trying to load external config file in nodejs for AWS SES with below code.

aws.config.loadFromPath('../config.json');

It throws this error

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '../config.json'

Now the file is there on that location but above code doesn't see it.

Any quick solution please?

UPDATE

It happens both locally and on the server.

Answer 1

Use __dirname

let AWS = require('aws-sdk')
const path = require('path')
const dirPath = path.join(__dirname, '/config.json')

AWS.config.loadFromPath(dirPath)
