Kind of the opposite of [this](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/how-to-get-ignition-install-directory-os-agnostic/40456), I would like to get the path to the directory that my project is in.

Example: D:\Ignition\data\projects\MyProject

I have some files that I keep in there under version management to give me the rev o f the build etc., and would like to be able to read them.

Thanks!

The code Nick posted in that thread _does_ resolve the projects directory (assuming it’s not overridden by a system property). Just go a step further into your project if you need to.

That code is returning

> d:/Ignition/data/projects

I am looking for the actual folder my project is in:

> D:\Ignition\data\projects\MyProject

Thanks

Add the output of `system.util.getProjectName()`.
