I've used dirname "$0"
which is an idiom to determine the path of the running script in bash, e.g.:
pushd "$(dirname "$0")"
data_dir="$(dirname "$0")/data/"
What's PowerShell equivalent of the above idiom?
CodePudding user response:
Since PowerShell version 3.0, the execution context provides 2 script-scoped automatic variables:
$PSCommandPath
- the file system path to the executing script, eg.C:\path\to\script.ps1
$PSScriptRoot
- the immediate parent folder of the script, eg.C:\path\to
So the equivalent of your last statement would be as follows in PowerShell:
$dataDir = Join-Path $PSScriptRoot data
