Root folder changes in production mode

[Jean Poncelet]

Hello,

Play.current().path().getPath()

returns the "bin" folder path in production mode. Is there a way to get the the same path in development mode?

Thanks

No, since that has no bin folder. Even if you could : Relying on this is a bad idea : It's the cwd when the application get's started, and

that path might change during runtime.

If you want it : Put it in the application.conf, and sed in the right value before the application starts.

We code ~/blah and do not rely on getPath(). This will result in the project root during the dev and bin during production for us.

Correction,

./blah not ~/blah

Not really. The first argument to the application startup script sets the application root path. It is immutable value and doesn't follow cwd changes.

It actually sets play.server.dir, which Environment uses as it's root path. You're right : That's a constant. resourceAsStream uses conf however, since that is in it's classpath. And running in dev mode

might yield different results. 

So, either use play.server.dir, or use absolute paths.
