Get current directory of file after getting called by another bash script [duplicate]

Answer 1

I believe you are looking for ${BASH_SOURCE[0]}, readlinkand dirname (though you can use bash string substitution to avoid dirname)

[jaypal:~/Temp] cat b.sh
#!/bin/bash

./tp/a.sh

[jaypal:~/Temp] pwd
/Volumes/Data/jaypalsingh/Temp

[jaypal:~/Temp] cat tp/a.sh
#!/bin/bash

src=$(pwd)
src2=$( dirname $( readlink -f ${BASH_SOURCE[0]} ) )
echo "$src"
echo "$src2"

[jaypal:~/Temp] ./b.sh
/Volumes/Data/jaypalsingh/Temp
/Volumes/Data/jaypalsingh/Temp/tp/

Answer 2

Please try this to see if it helps

loc=`dirname $BASH_SOURCE`
