Extendscript current script path

Question

I want to get the absolute folder path of current running Extendscript.

i.e __DIR__ in php (or) __dirname in nodejs. Equivalent in Extendscript.

Answer 1

Found it myself, it is $.fileName

For the folder name, it is (new File($.fileName)).parent

Answer 2

I wrote an article about this you may find helpful, :)

essentially:

var myPath = (app.activeDocument.fullName.parent.fsName).toString().replace(/\\/g, '/');
var myScriptPath = (File(app.activeScript.fullName).parent.fsName).toString().replace(/\\/g, '/');

alert('Document path is: ' + myPath + ' , and script path is: ' + myScriptPath);

mim,

Answer 3

File($.fileName).path;

Seems to do the job nowadays
