does the NodeModuleModule.setRequireRootDirectory method support to set a path that in jar file resource folder? about javet HOT 4 CLOSED

i get it, thank you !

Good question.

1. This feature is limited by Node.js runtime for security reason. Once a Node.js host process starts, Node.js runtime doesn't allow setting the working directory out of the initial working directory. Obviously, this is to prevent scripts from attacking the runtime environment.
2. Node.js runtime also requires the directory to be an actual folder in the file system. That results in the error you met.

My suggestion is to resolve the path so that it becomes the one recognized by Node.js runtime.

Sorry for my lack of understanding. What do you mean by resolve the path? I bundled my entire nodejs project into a single dist folder. Was hoping to access that without ever having to leave the JAR file. Everything I have tried so far has failed. Is there any way to access folders in the JAR?

Node.js is keen on real (aka physical) file system path. The file path inside a jar file is not a physical file path from OS perspective. The app has to copy everything to a physical path and point the working dir to it.
