6475 :: Name of nim file at compile time

• vitreo12 (orginal) [2020-06-23T11:33:58+02:00] view original

  Hello everyone!

  Is there a way to retrieve the name of the .nim file that's been compiled at compile time?

  I think either StackTraceEntry or instantiationInfo could work.

  I think you want currentSourcePath

  I had tried it, but it will not work when used from an imported module

  I will look into it, thanks!

  It can work if you don't use it in a template and just in a plain proc.

  @Yardanico It depends on whether you want the name of the imported file (then use a proc) or the name of the file imported into (then use a template).

  @vitreo12 "will not work" is not helpful; please be precise. IWFM

  What i mean is: I tried it and it didn't work, as it would return the module where currentSourcePath is called, and not the compiled nim file
