process.cwd() points to the location of the symlink, not the bash script in my folder.
I'm using this code for now. It uses process.cwd() to find the directory containing of the symlink, then adds the filename to that to get the path of the actual symlink file, then resolves the symlink to find out where it points to, then strips off the end of the path to find the module folder location. (My module is called bace). SYMLINKTARGET=$(dirname $0) SYMLINKTARGET+=/bace BACE_DIR="`realpath $SYMLINKTARGET`" BACE_DIR=$( dirname "$BACE_DIR" ) BACE_DIR=$( dirname "$BACE_DIR" ) cd $BACE_DIR This seems like a lot more work than should be necessary. Also realpath is not available in the linux distributions. So the user will have to install that. This script will be called a lot in tight loops so I'm also worried about performance. I was hoping that this is a common problem that npm would somehow solve for me.
