How to get the current (working) directory in Scala?

Question

How can I get the current directory (working directory) of the executing program in Scala?

Answer 1

Use java.nio:

import java.nio.file.Paths
println(Paths.get(".").toAbsolutePath)

Remark on scala.reflect.io.File: I don't see any reason to look into scala.reflect packages for such mundane tasks. Getting the current working directory has usually nothing to do with Scala's reflection capabilities. Here are more reasons not to use scala.reflect.io.File: link.
