Converts a relative path to an absolute path.

If the path passed corresponds to an executable, it tries to find its path using Sys.which(). Expansion of '~' in Windows follows the definition of fs::path_expand() rather than base::path.expand(). This function tries really hard to create canonical paths.

Usage

path_rel2abs(path, cwd = getwd())

Arguments

path

(character(1)) Character string representing a relative path.

cwd

(character(1)) Current working directory.

Value

(character(1)) Character string representing the absolute path

Examples

path_rel2abs("..")
#> [1] "/home/runner/work/irace/irace/docs"
