VSCode extensions location variable

Question

Answer 1

You can get that information by the asAbsolutePath() method of the ExtensionContext.
This method gets you the absolute path of a resource for a given relative path (regarding your project root).

Therefore I suggest you to change your code to the following:

export async function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
    const execLocation = context.asAbsolutePath("script");
    console.log("Absolute exec location: " + execLocation);
