When using BatchJobs in moderately sized codebases, it can be helpful to use relative paths for both .tmpl and config files.
loadConfig()
usessys.source()
(viasourceConfFile()
), which by default sources the config file relative to the current path, not the path of the config file itself. There are a number of ways to address this -- I think I picked the least disruptive (but maybe most awkward), which is passing arguments fromloadConfig()
down tosys.source()
, and passingchdir=T
to evaluate paths in the config file relative to its own directory.
