Skip to main content

Getting the script folder in PowerShell

Today I needed to call another script file in the same folder as the main script. After a little searching on the web I found "$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path". "$MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path" returns the path to the current script, With that I was able to get the current folder using Get-Item. This is my test scripts:

ToRun.ps1:

Write-Host $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
$scriptDirectory  = (Get-Item $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path).DirectoryName
$scriptName = "HelloWorld.ps1"
Write-Host calling $scriptName in $scriptDirectory
& ($scriptDirectory + '\' + $scriptName)

HelloWorld.ps1:

Write-Host "Hello word"

After running the script the output was:

calling HelloWorld.ps1 in C:\scriptFun
Hello word

 Simple but useful.
