I'm in the process of developing my own Command Line Interface (CLI) using NodeJS. One of the tasks for the CLI involves recursively copying folders from a source folder within the project.
After globally installing my CLI with npm install -g in the CLI project's folder, I attempted to run it in a different test folder. However, the recursive copy operation failed because it was looking for files from the source folder within the test folder instead of
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/[myCli]I've experimented with various solutions involving path, require.resolve, and __filename, but they all return a path originating from the test folder where I executed the CLI.
Aside from explicitly specifying the source path as /usr/local/lib...., there must be a way to retrieve the directory of the globally executed script, right?
