Modules breaks file loading about box HOT 3 CLOSED

I’m tempted to say “by design” – this is really neither surprising nor inconsistent, and in Python you’d have the same problem. The solution is furthermore straightforward: use an absolute path. But of course there should be an easy way of getting the absolute path of the current module (it works, very convolutedly, via attr(parent.env(environment()), 'path')), e.g. by hooking into system.file.

Yep, something like module_path or module_relative_path("some/path") would be nice.

from box.

module_file() retrieves the root path for a module, or getwd() when invoked outside a module.

module_file('a') retrieves path of a … etc. Usage is analogous to system.file.
