CCSTUDIO: CCS Scripting: Relative path

Hello Ki,

could you provide an example for using environment variables in a script?

Hello Ki,

the only environment variable I can catch is PATH. Are we talking about Windows system variables, or CCS environment? And from which environment?

test.js:

var myEnvVar= java.lang.System.getenv("workspace_loc");
print("$workspace_loc = " + myEnvVar);

myEnvVar= java.lang.System.getenv("CCS_WORKSPACE_DIR");
print("$CCS_WORKSPACE_DIR = " + myEnvVar);

myEnvVar= java.lang.System.getenv("WorkspaceDirPath");
print("$WorkspaceDirPath = " + myEnvVar);

myEnvVar= java.lang.System.getenv("SYSTEM_ROOT");
print("$SYSTEM_ROOT = " + myEnvVar);

myEnvVar= java.lang.System.getenv("ccs_base_root");
print("$ccs_base_root = " + myEnvVar);

myEnvVar= java.lang.System.getenv("PATH");
print("$PATH = " + myEnvVar);

Scripting console:

js:> loadJSFile "C:\path\test.js"
$workspace_loc = null
$CCS_WORKSPACE_DIR = null
$WorkspaceDirPath = null
$SYSTEM_ROOT = null
$ccs_base_root = null
$PATH = C:/DevTools/TI/ccs1210/ccs/eclipse/jre/bin/server;[...]

Host OS system variables such as Windows environment variables. Hence why you were only able to access PATH. The others are CCS Eclipse environment variables. Note that when DSS is being used, there is no IDE involvement. There is (typically) no association with the CCS IDE.

My point was to get the path of the current workspace/ project/Debug configuration/..., such that I can code with relative path. Any way to do this?

I found that ScriptingEnvironment promises to have a current directory, but I always get an empty string from ScriptingEnvironment.getCurrentDirectory()

Those variables are internal to Eclipse and typically used inside the IDE build environment (also occasionally used in debug launches and other areas). It is typically not used in a scripting environment like a DSS script, especially since DSS is meant to be run independent of the CCS (Eclipse) IDE. I do not think it is possible to access it from a DSS script (or javascript console like the CCS Scripting Console).
