Import file in Jsnonnet/libsonnet application using relative path

I have a libsonnet file in which I want to import another libsonnet file proving relative path

I am able to do it by going backward from current folder For example : import ‘../../../abc.libsonnet’

Is there any way to import same by proving relative path from root folder? Something like below import ‘./appl/example/test/abc.libsonnet

I tried this but facing ‘No match locally’ error during runtime

As you already found, import paths are resolved from:

• the current directory
• the directory of the jsonnet source file importing it

You can add a another directory to the CLI by:

• Using the -J arg as:

  jsonnet -J <ROOT_DIR> ...
  

• pre-exporting below env var:

  env JSONNET_PATH=<ROOT_DIR> jsonnet ...
  

In your case, this could be either

• still relative:

  $ jsonnet -J "${PWD}/../../../" ...
  

• "resolve" the relative path:

  $ jsonnet -J "$(realpath ../../../)" ...
