Access to local file system?

[Dominique Orban]

Hi. I'm keen on writing an extension that compiles LaTeX document, but for that I need to obtain the full path of the file being edited. I didn't see that in the documentation. Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Sadly, this path isn't available, because most file systems supported by Zed do not have this information or there is no physical path at all (e.g. Dropbox FS, github etc.). The chrome app file system doesn't tell you where on disk files are, for example. Are you trying to build this for the standalone version of Zed?

Yes, it's for the standalone version. Using info.inputs.text is insufficient because LaTeX documents are typically spread over multiple files that include one another.
