run/debug executable in a custom folder with resources
Answered
My app depends on files in a specific folder. Currently I build manually, copy the exe there, and run it via CMD. I want to run/debug directly in CLion using the Run/Debug button, with the correct working directory so it finds its resources. How?

Hello!
What build system is your project based on?
If it's based on CMake, please go to File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | CMake and add
-DCMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=<absolute path to directory>to the CMake options field (<absolute path to directory>should be substituted with the absolute path to the directory where the binary should be generated). After that, please do Tools | CMake | Reset Cache and Reload Project.
