$ pwd
/home/user1
$ mkdir dir
$ cat > dir/app.js
console.log (process.cwd ());
$ node dir/app.js
/home/user1
$ cd dir && node app.js
/home/user1/dir
Now suppose you have this code:
//app.js
var fs = require ("fs");
if (fs.existsSync ("settings.json")){
doSomethingUseful ();
}else{
//Warning!!
saveToDatabaseDefaultSettings ();
}
And execute the main file with a relative path:
node dir/app
You will enter into the else case because settings.json is stored inside dirbut
the cwd is not
dir, so you expect the path ./dir/settings.json but in fact the path is
./settings.json.
