I’m trying to get the path to a script executing in Rhino. I would prefer to not have to pass in the directory as the first argument. I don’t even have a lead on how to get it. I’m currently calling Rhino via

java -jar /some/path/to/js.jar -modules org.mozilla.javascript.commonjs.module /path/to/myscript.js

and would like myscript.js to recognize /path/to as it’s dirname, regardless of where I run this script from. The only other related question & suggestion here on StackOverflow is to pass /path/to as an argument, but that is not the solution I am looking for.

    It’s not possible to do what you want.

    The ability to detect the source of the script being run by a JavaScript interpreter is not a part of the ECMAScript language specification or the Rhino shell extensions.

    However, you could write a wrapper executable program which takes a script path as its argument and executes the script in Rhino (e.g. by calling the appropriate main class) and also providing the script location as an environment variable (or similar).
