Im trying to access runfiles within c++. Im using Bazel 5.2.0. I tried to access like this:
std::string error;
std::unique_ptr<Runfiles> runfiles(Runfiles::Create(argv[0], &error));
if (!runfiles) {
std::cerr << error << std::endl;
return 1;
}
std::string path = runfiles->Rlocation("Test/Example.tx");
std::cout << "Example.tx: " << path << std::endl;
std::ifstream in(path);
if (!in.is_open())
{
std::cout << "Example.tx not found" << std::endl;
return -1;
}
(Example.tx is right, just to lazy to change) The program is finding a path but the path starts from the bazelisk directory and doesn't point to the binary dir.
Example.tx: C:\users\nikla\_bazel_nikla\d47dtf2d\execroot\__main__\bazel-out\x64_windows-fastbuild\bin\Test\Test.exe.runfiles/Test/Example.tx
Example.tx not found
Im getting this as an result. Maybe there is a new way to access runfiles but Im not finding it.
