I'd like to start server from %appData%/omnitiddly/tiddlywiki , but there seem being no param in cli to do so, it can only start relative to PWD.

I'm going to start tiddlywiki from electron app, so I'm going to do something like this:

const $tw = require('tiddlywiki/boot/boot.js').TiddlyWiki();

// Pass the command line arguments to the boot kernel
$tw.boot.argv = ['listen', '-path %appData%/omnitiddly/tiddlywiki'];

// Boot the TW5 app
$tw.boot.boot();

Can I do so?

Oh I know the answer, just add path to first argument:

// If the first command line argument doesn't start with `--` then we
    // interpret it as the path to the wiki folder, which will otherwise default
    // to the current folder
    if($tw.boot.argv[0] && $tw.boot.argv[0].indexOf("--") !== 0) {
      $tw.boot.wikiPath = $tw.boot.argv[0];
      $tw.boot.argv = $tw.boot.argv.slice(1);
    } else {
      $tw.boot.wikiPath = process.cwd();
    }
