How do I locate the path of the folder in which the current script file is located?

Question

How do I locate the path of the current folder? I just want to be able to get the path of the folder so that I can manipulate the files in the folder without typing the path

Answer 1

I was able to get the folder containing the script that was running:

//
// PrintScriptFolder -- print the name of the folder in which the running script resides.
//
function PrintScriptFolder()
{
  var scriptId = ScriptApp.getScriptId();
  console.info('scriptId = ' + scriptId);
  
  var file = DriveApp.getFileById(scriptId);
  var folders = file.getParents();
  if (folders.hasNext())
  {
    var folder = folders.next();
    var name = folder.getName();
    console.info('script folder name = ' + name);    
  }  
}

The trick is using ScriptApp to get the ID of the running script. From there it's pretty straightforward: use DriveApp to get the file ID, getParents() to get a list of (one) parent folder, next() to get it, and getName() to get its name.
