I need to do some file operations with paths relative to the script that required the current one.
Say we have the following in ~/somewhere/file2.js
const y = require('~/file1.js');
And in ~/file1.js we have:
const x = require('./other/script.js'); //relative to ~/file1.js
And we invoke it like this:
cd ~/somedir
node ~/somewhere/file2.js
then within ~/other/script.js we can do this:
console.log(__dirname); // -> ~/other
console.log(__filename); // -> ~/other/script.js
console.log(process.cwd()); // -> ~/somedir
console.log(process.argv[0]); // -> path/to/node
console.log(path.resolve('.')); // -> ~/somedir
console.log(process.argv[1]); // -> ~/somewhere/file2.js
None of these are the path I need.
How, from ~other/script.js, can I determine the location of the script that required us - i.e ~/file1.js
To put it another way.
~/somewhere/file2.js requires ~/file1.js
and
~/file1.js requires ~/other/script.js
from within ~/other/script.js I need to do file operations relative to ~/somewhere/file1.js - how can I get it's location?
I actually only need the directory in which file1.js sits, so filename or directory will work for me.
