I was looking for a way to look up the meteor project path from a smart package (e.g.: obtain the path of the directory where the .meteor folder is ...). I was not able to do it using node's __dirname and __filename because somehow in meteor they are not avaiable. Any tips ?
As of Meteor 0.6.0 this would be:
var path = Npm.require('path');
var basepath = path.resolve('.');
From a smartpackage (0.6.5+):
var path = Npm.require('path');
var base = path.resolve('.');
base
in this case gets you the position of your package ..
/User/username/projects/project/.meteor/local/programm/server/...
.. might even be deeper
but we want
/User/username/projects/project/
.. so split at .meteor
base = base.split('.meteor')[0];
Or as two-liner
var path = Npm.require('path');
var base = path.resolve('.').split('.meteor')[0];;
This works for me in Meteor 0.5.0:
var require = __meteor_bootstrap__.require;
var path = require('path');
var basepath = (path.resolve('.'));
