get_curdir

get_curdir(path: str | Path, absolute: bool = True) -> Path

• Description: Returns the parent directory of the given path (i.e. path.parent).

  A typical usage is to pass __file__ and use it as the base for relative paths.

  Note: this function does not return Path.cwd() (the shell working directory).

• Parameters

  • path (str | Path): Any file path (typically __file__).
  • absolute (bool): Whether to resolve the input to an absolute path before taking parent. Default is True.

• Returns

  • Path: The parent directory of path.

• Example:

  from capybara import get_curdir
  
  DIR = get_curdir(__file__)
  print(DIR)
  # >>> '/path/to/your/current/directory'
