Setting shell working directory for persistent include

[Neil Faiman]

I'm wondering if there is any way to change the working directory that will be set when I execute a shell script from a persistent include.

At a higher level ...

I have a persistent include script written in Swift. It needs to imp;ort a separately compiled Swift module, which is just a Mac .framework file. The only way that I have been able to tell a Swift script where to find an imported framework is with the -F option on the script command line (or on the shebang line at the top of the script). The easiest way to accomplish that seems to be to put the framework in the project's Templates and Includes directory, along with the script itself. Then I could just put "-F ." on the shebang line. But that only works if "." is the Templates and Includes directory ...

Thanks,

Neil Faiman

When running a Unix script/executable, the
"BBEditTemplateDirectory" environment variable is set to point
to the "Templates and Includes" directory; or at least it should
be. You can test this with an include that does a `printenv`; if
it works then perhaps you can employ that in your Swift script somehow.

Enjoy,

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.
