Re: [orion-dev] Getting File Project Location

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Diana,

It feels a bit brittle to be doing that
kind of path manipulation but I can't think of a good alternative. In theory
the Git repository can be rooted at arbitrary depth in the workspace tree,
and CloneLocation is indeed a reliable indicator of the root location for
the repository. I am not aware of any other client-side mechanism to compute
this.

Getting File Project Location

Hey all,

Is there an easy way to get the project
root?

For example:
Jon imports a project from a Git repository,
gitRepo, into the editor. In gitRepo, he has a folder “folderA” with
a file “sillyFile.txt". The location of the file (in the file metadata)
is "/file/Jon-OrionContent/gitRepo/sillyFile.txt”. I would like to
get the path relative to the repo, just “folderA/sillyFile.txt” in this
case.

So far I’ve used the File API to get the
File object’s Git object and then taken the CloneLocation “/gitapi/clone/file/Jon-OrionContent/gitRepo/“
and removed the “/gitapi/clone“ substring to get “/file/Jon-OrionContent/gitRepo/“
as the project root.

I’ve looked into fileClient and fileUtils
and haven’t found anything for this purpopse. Is there a way to do this
without any requests, maybe using something similar to the fileClient?
Is there a better way than pulling it from the Git CloneLocation?

Thanks!
Diana
