When I tried the below code, it is not returning the current directory. Instead it is returning only .
ie a dot .
String current = System.getProperty("user.dir");
System.out.println("Current working directory in Java : " + current);
Output:
Current working directory in Java :.
Whereever the value is coming from seems to be platform-specific but certainly .
ie "dot"
is not a particularly useful result. Not sure how it was processed but if your main aim is to get a meaningful value, you can use either of the following options as per this documentation :
getCanonicalPath()
getCanonicalFile()
getAbsolutePath()
getAbsoluteFile()
A Windows OS based example:
Ideal scenario:
Code Block:
System.out.println("user.dir: "+System.getProperty("user.dir"));
Console Output:
user.dir: C:\\Users\\AtechM_03\\LearnAutmation\\learn-automation
Alternative:
Code Block:
String user_dir = System.getProperty("user.dir"); File pwdDir = new File(user_dir); System.out.println("Current working directory in Java : " + pwdDir.getCanonicalPath()); System.out.println("Current working directory in Java : " + pwdDir.getCanonicalFile()); System.out.println("Current working directory in Java : " + pwdDir.getAbsolutePath()); System.out.println("Current working directory in Java : " + pwdDir.getAbsoluteFile());
Console Output:
Current working directory in Java : C:\\Users\\AtechM_03\\LearnAutmation\\learn-automation Current working directory in Java : C:\\Users\\AtechM_03\\LearnAutmation\\learn-automation Current working directory in Java : C:\\Users\\AtechM_03\\LearnAutmation\\learn-automation Current working directory in Java : C:\\Users\\AtechM_03\\LearnAutmation\\learn-automation
