How to get project folder path?in editor Mode

.

 

Same question ...

 

Application.dataPath will give you the project path + /Assets
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-dataPath.html

 

oops. silly me. thanks fffMaizbier.

 

Sir, Application.dataPath; gives me Assets folder path like

Path : C:/Users/kp35511/Desktop/KayumiyWorking/MultiExeProgram/Assets

I need a path until project folder not assets folder which is one step before

Path : C:/Users/kp35511/Desktop/KayumiyWorking/MultiExeProgram

 

Answer is System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()

 

Following works:

Code (CSharp):

1.         #if UNITY_EDITOR
2.         string p1 = Application.dataPath;
3.         p1 = p1.Replace("/Assets", "");
4.        // p1 is path to project folder...
5.         #endif

 

Never use examples like this. Just think more about the consequences and edge cases.
What if the project folder name is AssetsOfMyMom or project is inside folders with Assets substring at the beginning. And /Assets will be on Mac or Linux, on windows, it will be \Assets.

 

how do i get a working path for a macbook air??? \_(0.0)_/

 

Hi, I came from future. Just to drop in another copy-paste for internet travellers.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.IO;
2.  
3. // Application.dataPath returns something like C:/MyWork/UnityProject/Asset
4. // back 1 level using "../" to get to project path
5.  
6. // C:/MyWork/UnityProject/
7. string projectFolder = Path.Combine( Application.dataPath, "../" );
8.  
9. // C:/MyWork/UnityProject/ProjectSettings
10. string settingFolder = Path.Combine( Application.dataPath, "../ProjectSettings" );
11.  
12. // back 2 levels to out of project path
13. // C:/MyWork/
14. string outside = Path.Combine( Application.dataPath, "../../" );
15.  

Additional read

Additionally you could use

Path.GetFullPath

to clean up and make clean full path after append with "../"

for example: settingFolder above, if Debug.log it, will become

C:/MyWork/UnityProject/Asset\../ProjectSettings

which is usable to any file related API. But kinda messy to user eyes. The function below will clean up and remake the path.

Code (CSharp):

1. // from C:/MyWork/UnityProject/Asset\../ProjectSettings
2. // to C:\MyWork\UnityProject\ProjectSettings
3. settingFolder = Path.GetFullPath( settingFolder );

Notice the all backslash "\". If Path.GetFullPath ran on Windows its output will backslash. If you want to convert to slash, you could run string Replace function on it easily.

 

Path.GetDirectoryName( Application.dataPath )

 

Just wondering about this, is there a way to choose a specific folder, so like the position of the folder where the game is stored + (name of other folder in file location)?

 

For the win!

 

Pretty important to do relative pathing with the static path gotten from Application.dataPath or an equivalent when releasing a build, say on Itch.io. Better off doing it from the start to avoid trouble later!

 

Can you explain that?

I can't see how this can be a problem since Application.dataPath always points to where the *_Data folder is in a build, no matter where on the user's computer the built app is stored/executed on the user's machine. The only issue I can think of it when you store a static path string in your code rather than always getting it via Application.dataPath. Which makes that the problem, not the path itself.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.IO;
2. //...
3.  
4. //Method 1 (I prefer)
5. string projectPath1 = Directory.GetParent(Application.dataPath).ToString();
6.  
7. //Method 2
8. string projectPath2 = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
9.  
10. /*
11. Out:
12. N:\unity_workspace\My Glorious Project
13. */
