title: Relative Paths in Java/Selenium/Maven
body: <p>I have a test suite that links to a csv file stored on my local machine to check that certain values/string are as expected when I run tests. I am using Selenium(java) that I have linked with maven to run in a Jenkins build. I have written a method to read in the csv as a 2D array. This works fine with the file path <code>/home/usr/location</code></p>
  
  <p>However I need to place the csv file on many VMs to test production environments. When I try to change to a relative path such as <code>~/location</code> I get a file not found error. </p>
  
  <p>I have all the correct permissions</p>
