veliovgroup / meteor-root Goto Github PK

Hi! I think the documentation is missing the value of the correct vars. Here is what I get from root and absolute paths:

Absolute Path: /home/user/Meteor/app
Root Path: /home/user/Meteor/app/.meteor/local/build/programs/server

In order to get the project path, the following should be added

.split('.meteor')[0];

actually, the proper way to get this info with M1.2.1 is

__meteor_bootstrap__.serverDir.split('.meteor')[0]

Looks like Meteor 1.3 introduces new way to get the same results, looks like we should use build in version if it is available otherwise use current logic (http://stackoverflow.com/a/37590376/710069)

Assets.absoluteFilePath(assetPath)

i got this using both methods:

/bundle/bundle/programs/server

Meteor.rootPath is always undefined.

Doesn't work in test-mode ... It always returns a path like /private/var/folders/qb/j_vlz31s2wn7v0vn7jhz5bvc0000gn/T/meteor-test-runowob50.z6tz - at least on my Mac OS X using Meteor v1.6.0.1

Both Meteor.rootPath and Meteor.absolutePath returns full path to 'programs/server' on Windows (meteor 1.2.1).

This is because final paths on Windows use \\ instead of / for folder separator. And split('/.meteor') no longer finds any '/.meteor' in resulting path.

So it is better to use path.sep in path.sep + '.meteor' as the result argument for split function.

So the possible solution is to change:

Meteor.absolutePath = __meteor_bootstrap__.serverDir.split('/.meteor')[0]; (https://github.com/VeliovGroup/Meteor-root/blob/c2978b2dd76248156aef97541905e11fa1ed1fcf/meteor-root.js#L2)

to

var path = Npm.require('path');
Meteor.absolutePath = __meteor_bootstrap__.serverDir.split(path.sep + '.meteor')[0];

or

var path = Npm.require('path');
Meteor.absolutePath = path.resolve('.').split(path.sep + '.meteor')[0];

Looks like __meteor_bootstrap__.serverDir is equal to path.resolve('.') and process.cwd().
