How to get the directory of the currently running file?

Question

In nodejs I use __dirname . What is the equivalent of this in Golang?

I have googled and found out this article http://andrewbrookins.com/tech/golang-get-directory-o

Answer 1

dir, err := os.Getwd()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }

this is for golang version: go version go1.13.7 linux/amd64

works for me, for go run main.go. If I run go build -o fileName, and put the final executable in some other folder, then that path is given while running the executable.
