feature extractor model loading relative path?

[shiffman]

If the sketch is not at the root path, I can load the model at the current directory as follows:

  classifier.load('./model.json', customModelReady);

However, if I ask for model.json this way:

  classifier.load('model.json', customModelReady);

It then looks in the root directory for model.weights.bin. This is minor for my example, but noting as it's an error people will encounter?

This behavior is in accordance with the standard behavior of html and javascript. When loading javascript, css, images ... not specifying a folder will point the browser to the root of the host.

Ah, ok, yes, I think it's a-ok to stay with convention! Maybe we can console log a custom error message instead of:

I think we can leave this as is for now and revisit later if it comes up as a point of confusion for people.

I'm sorry, upon revisiting, I think my comment above is wrong.
Not specifying a path should in fact point to the current folder. / points to the root.

If I'm correct this time, you can indeed call this a bug (that should be fixed).

Ok, re-opening!
