File not Found Error

Hi,

I wrote a script using VSCode and ExtendScript Debugger and keep running into a File not Found error. I put a debugging block at the beginning of my script but it seems to fail on ANY file on my computer. I'm running on Apple M1 Monterey and checked the Open with Rosetta box for VsCode. My AfterEffects is up to date. I've enabled Full Disk Access for VsCode and AfterEffects and have checked Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network in AfterEffects preferences as well.

Can someone please let me know what I'm missing? I've pasted my script below. Thanks!

        } else {
            alert("File does not exist or cannot be accessed.");
        }
    }
    
    testFileAccess(); // This will help to check if the script can access the file
