Execution failure from change in working directory

See original GitHub issue

One more issue relating to 0.6->0.7. One of my notebooks loads in a local data file, which lives in the same path as the notebooks, eg

content/chapter3/section.ipynb
content/chapter3/file.dat

The executor now fails when run from the top-level directory because it can’t find the file in the local path. (FileNotFoundError)

I’d prefer to not hard-code the path into the notebook, and expect that the working directory should change to reflect the path of the notebook during execution.

OK, I’m documenting how this works with execution and relative paths here: #711 and we can track the addition of relative paths when using cache as a future enhancement 👍
