相对于文件位置运行脚本，而不是节点中的命令行位置

Question

I'm not sure exactly what to call what I'm trying to do, but I have a node script that accesses a folder (./commands relative to the script file), but when I run the script from somewhere other than the folder, it is unable to find./commands.

Ie when I'm in the folder with the script in it, ./commands refers to \script-folder\commands, but when I'm on the desktop, the script looks in Desktop\commands and finds nothing.

Is there any way to tell the script to run relative to its own folder, or do I just have to hard-code the full location of the commands folder in the script?

./ means current working directory. you can check with pwd command.
You can use path.join(__dirname,yourpath);
