project root

A simple utility to obtain the absolute path to your project root.

Usage

rust let project_root = match project_root::get_project_root() { Ok(p) => p.to_str().expect("Could not retrieve project path").to_string(), Err(e) => panic!(e), }; println!("Current project root is {}", project_root);

Motivation

I was trying to slurp in some config files during a test but the directory location was not what I expected - and indeed would not be the final location of that directory on a deployment.

I couldn't find an immediately obvious way of finding out my position relative to the project root so built this little helper.
