I have a function from a script that calls another script. I want to call it in a few other scripts which is in different directories.

[nir@dev nir]$ pwd

[nir@dev nir]$ cat run_me.sh
echo working
[nir@dev nir]$ cat lib/lib.sh
run_me(){
echo $(realpath $0)
./run_me.sh
}
[nir@dev nir]$ cat a.sh
cd ` dirname "$0" `
. ./lib/lib.sh
run_me
[nir@dev nir]$ cat b/a.sh
cd ` dirname "$0" `
. ../lib/lib.sh
run_me
[nir@dev nir]$ ./a.sh
/tmp/nir/a.sh
working
[nir@dev nir]$ ./b/a.sh
realpath: ‘./b/a.sh’: No such file or directory
../lib/lib.sh: line 4: ./run_me.sh: No such file or directory
Beside moving the function inside run_me.sh
what are my option to fix it within lib.sh
?
are my option to fix it within lib.sh?
Call it relative to lib.sh
. For example:
run_me() {
"${BASH_SOURCE%/*}"/run_me.sh
}
You could also add the path to lib.sh
to PATH
and just let Bash serach for it.
