Topic : Pathnames and starting binaries from xpcshell<br />

Note:<br>

I've discovered that this bit of code will return the full directory path that contains xpcshell:

var file = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/directory_service;1"]

.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIProperties)

.get("CurProcD", Components.interfaces.nsIFile);

ie. print(file.path) will return /home/james/mozilla/obj-ff/dist/bin

However, I have not yet determined how reliable this is. According to devmo, this "usually" works.

15:58 < jboston> I'm trying to interpret this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442393#c12

15:58 < firebot> jboston: Bug 442393 nor, --, ---, nobody@mozilla.org, NEW, nsIProcess.kill() does not work on Win32

17:12 < ted> then you'll wind up with TestProgram.exe in $(DIST)/bin

17:14 < jboston> ted: Thanks. That was what I was looking for. I get stuck on makefiles.
