title: can karate read files from outside the classpath with a relative path instead of absolute path
body: <p>I'm trying to read a properties file for karate-config.js. It works when i provide the absolute path from my local but when i provide a relative path. it doesn't work. Any way around this? Thanks !</p>
  <p>var config = karate.read(&quot;file:/repo/tests/utils/al_dev.json&quot;); -- This doesn't work
  var config = karate.read(&quot;file:~/repo/tests/utils/al_dev.json&quot;); -- This doesn't work
  var config = karate.read(&quot;file:/Users/user1/IdeaProjects/repo/tests/utils/al_dev.json&quot;); -- This works</p>
