I have a few ammonite scripts, they are stored in a folder. That folder is on my PATH, so I can invoke those scripts easily wherever I am.
I can import other ammonite scripts in the same folder:
$import $file.<name_of_the_other_script>
However I want to 'import' a simple text file, save it's content as a string and use it later.
I can do:
val myString = os.read(os.root/"absolute"/"path"/"to"/"the"/"file")
But I would prefer not to use absolute paths, for obvious reasons. Relative path does not work, beacuse it is relative to the folder where I am invoking the script from, and not to where the script is located.
Is there any way to achieve this?
EDIT:
#/bin/bash
echo $BASH_SOURCE
The problem could be solved easily if the functionality in the above bash script could be replicated in Ammonite.
I think you can read resources using ammonite.ops like so:
val resourcePath = resource/'test/'ammonite/'ops/'folder/"file.txt"
read(resourcePath).length ==> 18
read.bytes(resourcePath).length ==> 18
read.lines(resourcePath).length ==> 1
See Reading Resources in the Ammonite documentation.

I need the file path for a file stored in Google drive, so I can access it from a Google colab notebook.
E.g.
my_dat = ZipFile('/content/drive/MyDrive/some/file/structure/dat.zip', 'r')
Is there a quick way to "copy as path" or otherwise get the file path to the clipboard as quickly as possible from google drive?
My current method is to manually type up the file path, which is very tedious when doing it repeatedly for files deep down in directories. Basically all I need is a way to quickly and easily have 'MyDrive/some/file/structure/dat.zip' on my clipboard (e.g. similar to here), just without manually typing it.
The best way or really the only way I know of doing this using the Google drive api would be to use the
file.get method, this will return a field called parents. Once you get the parent id you can then do a file get on the parent and continue up until the parent is root. Its going to mean a lot of calls but its the only way I have found to achieve this.
I made my own library to make it easier.
!pip install kora
from kora.drive import get_path
p = get_path(file_id)
i am building an extension to parse json using vs code extension.
so my need is ,it should be able able to load .json file from a particular folder and iterate through content of the file.
Then it should allow user to select few keys from it make a new json file out of this and save it in any folder.
But i am not able to find any way to read and write files in "vs code extension".Could someone please help me.
If you want to read the current edit state of a file you can use the following API workspace function:
vscode.workspace.openTextDocument(uri).then((document) => {
let text = document.getText();
});
This will show you the current state of the file including unpersisted changes. document is of type TextDocument and has isDirty set to true if it has pending changes.
Since the extension runs in nodejs, you should be able to use any nodejs module built-in or installed by npm in the usual way.
For your purpose you will be OK with the built-in fs module: https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v6.x/docs/api/fs.html
In your extension you will need to import the required module, so your code file should contain this:
let fs = require("fs");
and then use the methods in the usual way, eg. fs.fileReadSync( filename, encoding ) ...
Please not that there is one exception. If you install a nodejs module containing compiled, binary code, it will not run in the extension and instead you will see an error message saying something like %1 is not a valid Win32 application. Pure javascript modules are OK, though.
VSCode extensions are running in node.js. Therefore you can use any available node.js package/module within your extension. For instance, check out this question for reading JSON.
For JSON, you just need to require or import the JSON file, such as:
const jsonObject = require('./myJSONfile.json');
// do something
For JSON with comments, you can use node-jsonc-parser.
After the manipulation, you could use the fs module of nodej.js to write to the disk.
I'm using Google Cloud Deployment and I am trying to get external input into my template. Namely, I want to set a metadata variable on my instance (when creating the instance) but provide this value on execution.
I've tried:
gcloud deployment-manager deployments create test-api-backend --config test-api-backend.yaml --properties 'my_value=hello'
Which fails (The properties flag should only be used when passing in a template as your config file.)
I've tried:
my_value=hello gcloud deployment-manager deployments create test-api-backend --config test-api-backend.yaml
And use {{env['my_value']}} but the value isn't picked up.
I guess I could add the property in a .jinja file and re-write this file before I run everything, but it feels like a hack. That, or my idea of passing a variable from shell into Deploy Manager is a hack. I'm honestly not sure.
As the error message indicates, the command line properties can only be used with a template. They are essentially meant to replace the config yaml file.
The easiest thing to do is to just rename your yaml file to a .py or .jinja file. Then use that template as the file in the gcloud command instead of the yaml file.
In that new template file, add any defaults you would like if you don't pass them in on the command line.
For python, something like:
if 'myparam' in context.properties:
valuetouse = context.properities['myparam']
else:
valuetouse = mydefaultvalue
If the template uses another template then you'll also need to create a schema file for the new, top level template so you can do the imports there instead of the yaml file.
See the schema file in this github example.
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/deploymentmanager-samples/blob/master/examples/v2/igm-updater/ha-service.py.schema
If you want, you can ignore all the properties and just do the imports section.
I've never worked with web pages before and I'd like to know how best to automate the following through programming/scripting:
go to http://financials.morningstar.com/ratios/r.html?t=GMCR®ion=USA&culture=en_US
invoke the 'Export to CSV' button near the top right
save this file into local directory
parse file
Part 4 doesn't need to use the same language as for 1-3 but ideally I would like to do everything in one shot using one language.
I noticed that if I hover my mouse over the button it says: javascript:exportKeyStat2CSV(); Is this a java function I could call somehow?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
It's a JavaScript function, which is not Java!
At first glance, this may seem like you need to execute Javascript to get it done, but if you look at the source of the document, you can see the function is simply implemented like this:
function exportKeyStat2CSV(){
var orderby = SRT_keyStuts.getOrderFromCookie("order");
var urlstr = "//financials.morningstar.com/ajax/exportKR2CSV.html?&callback=?&t=XNAS:GMCR®ion=usa&culture=en-US&cur=&order="+orderby;
document.location = urlstr;
}
So, it builds a url, which is completely fixed, except the order by part, which is taken from a cookie. Then it simply navigates to that url by setting document.location. A small test shows you even get a csv file if you leave the order by part empty, so probably, you can just download the CSV from the base url that is in the code.
Downloading can be done using various tools, for instance WGet for Windows. See SuperUser for more possibilities. Anyway, 'step 1 to 3' is actually just a single command.
After that, you just need to parse the file. Parsing CSV files can be done using batch, and there are several examples available. I won't get into details, since you didn't provide any in your question.
PS. I'd check their terms of use before you actually implement this.
The button directs me to this link:
http://financials.morningstar.com/ajax/exportKR2CSV.html?&callback=?&t=XNAS:GMCR®ion=usa&culture=en-US&cur=&order=asc
You could use the Python 3 module urllib and fetch the file, save it using the os or shutil modules, then parse it using one of the many CSV parsing modules, or by making your own.
The aim is to create a config file for server-side Dart application, which can be imported as needed into scripts like so:
import 'Config/config.dart';
What is crucial for this config script however, is that it knows it's own location when being accessed with an import (not the location of the file accessing it). Currently it uses this line below to find the path:
final String ROOT_DIR = dirname(Platform.script.toFilePath());
However, this returns the file path of the file importing it and not the file that is being imported. This needs to be known purely for working out a relative path to the root folder, which will allow other absolute paths to be known in the config file (such as routes, controllers, and things), like so:
final String PUBLIC_DIR = join(ROOT_DIR, 'Public');
final String VIEWS_DIR = join(ROOT_DIR, 'Views');
What would be the best way of approaching this? I have seen this post: Get script path in Dart (analog __DIR__ constant in PHP) which is the same sort of situation, however I can't see a clean way of using relative paths to find the route folder.
Probably missing something really obvious, but can't see it at the moment. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you for reading.
This is not supported in Dart.
Maybe Mezoni found some kind of trick to get this information which he packed in his caller_info package https://stackoverflow.com/a/24880092/217408.
You can't rely on the path where the files are stored during development.
Currently it is only experimental but when you run dart2dart on your code, all or many parts of the code are inlined.
