Using Javascript to access file in Truffle console:path problem

JavaScript
2

Hi,

As can be read in the docs, Node’s path.resolve() method resolves a sequence of paths or path segments into an absolute path.

If, after processing all given path segments, an absolute path has not been generated, the current working directory is used.

I guess this is what is happening in your case.

A simple fix would be to make the first path segment absolute:

const contractPath = path.resolve("~/Truffle_programs/search_opcode/", "contracts", "Attack.sol");
// '/home/zulfi/Truffle_programs/search_opcode/contracts/~/Truffle_programs/search_opcode/contracts/Attack.sol'

const contractPath1 = path.resolve("/~/Truffle_programs/search_opcode/", "contracts", "Attack.sol");
// '/~/Truffle_programs/search_opcode/contracts/Attack.sol'

Does that help?

P.S. What is Attack.sol doing? That sounds a bit sus in the contect of Ethereum
