code-runner.cwd support variables

[SailorMax]

Can you add support variables like ${fileDirname} for "Set the working directory" setting?
I need exec scripts from local directory.

thank you.

Currently, the cwd will be set as root folder opened in VS code if code-runner.cwd is not set. How about add a config entry to determine to use root folder or folder of current running file?

Sample?

Actually I need run script via 2 steps:

1. cwd [directory of file]
2. php -f [filename without directory]

Currently it has wrong cwd and run script with full path to file.

[formulahendry]

any difference bertween filename without directory and full path of file?

[formulahendry]

Please install the visx in attached zip file (use VS Code to open the visx to install), and set code-runner.fileDirectoryAsCwd as true in User Settings or Workspace Settings. It will set the cwd as directory of file. Let me know whether it meets with your requirement. 😃

Just ship the v0.2.4, you could have a try. For the filename issue, I did not see the difference between filename without directory and full path of file, so I will not change the behavior.

[SailorMax]

yes. Script can work via web in chroot directory => in command line we can try to emulate same behavior:

1. current directory = chrooted directory
2. path to file = /scripts/update_records.php, where "/" is based on current directory.

But this is little another task. Plus I made required fixes in my script for correct work even with old settings.
Anyway, thanks for modification. It can be useful.
