Is there any way to get the path of the current file?

[mybearworld]

I want to read a file that is in the same directory as the Gleam file that's trying to read it. When using a relative (./) path, it tries to read from /build/dev/javascript/, which is not where the file is located, and it's not being copied over by Gleam.

Is there any way to get the path of the Gleam file from the Gleam program, so that this is doable?

Thanks!

There is not, no. Gleam isn't a scripting language so there's no practical definition of "current file". The source code of the program may not be present on the computer running the application at all.

Ah, that's unfortunate. That does make sense, though. Thank you!

Coming on this late. Out of curiosity, what were you using to read the file?

Simplifile is the normal file system package
