SDL2 can't render PNG file as texture - c++

Question

I am trying to make a simple racing game with C++ using SDL2. When i tried rendering my car asset(PNG Image) it simply did not render saying in the console that it couldn't access the file. Note that the source files are located in an exclusive directory (src/), the headers are in /include and the images are located in /assets. Here is my code:
main.cpp
#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
#include <SDL2/SDL_image.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <Headers/RenderWindow.hpp>
int main(int argc, char *args[])
{
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) > 0)
{
std::cout << "SDL_Init has failed..." << std::endl;
}
if (!(IMG_Init(IMG_INIT_PNG)))
{
std::cout << "IMG_Init has failed" << std::endl;
}
RenderWindow window("Untitled Racing Game", 1280, 720);
SDL_Texture *blueCar = window.LoadTexture("../assets/blue_car.png");
bool run = true;
SDL_Event event;
while (run)
{
while (SDL_PollEvent(&event))
{
if (event.type == SDL_QUIT)
{
run = false;
}
}
window.Clear();
window.Render(blueCar);
window.Display();
}
window.CleanUp();
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
