     No idea.  You've shown us part (well, most) of your code, but
you haven't given a description of how you've used it.  You've
said things like "try to change the path" and "when I try to
change the path," but that's not precise enough to allow me or
someone else to duplicate your actions.

     Observe an important difference between my example and yours:
Yours is "Here's the code, but you'll need instructions for running
it," while mine is "Here's the code, entirely self-contained."
Do you see why one is easier to diagnose than the other?
