Problem
In nodejs I use __dirname . What is the equivalent of this in Golang?
I have googled and found out this article http://andrewbrookins.com/tech/golang-get-directory-of-the-current-file/ . Where he uses below code
But is it the right way or idiomatic way to do in Golang?

_, filename, _, _ := runtime.Caller(1)
f, err := os.Open(path.Join(path.Dir(filename), "data.csv"))But is it the right way or idiomatic way to do in Golang?
Solution
This should do it:
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"path/filepath"
)
func main() {
dir, err := filepath.Abs(filepath.Dir(os.Args[0]))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(dir)
