Absolute Path for Full Path Snippet Variables #121896

Open globalhuman opened 3 years ago

Snippets containing paths on Linux have unexpanded home directories. i.e. for TM_DIRECTORY ~/folder/this_stuff/that_stuff/.

I request that there exists _ABSOLUTE versions for all snippets. pertaining to full paths i.e. TM_DIRECTORY_ABSOLUTE /home/my_user_name/this_stuff/that_stuff

I am unaware of the behavior on other platforms.

Interestingly ${WORKSPACE_FOLDER} evaluates to include the home directory expanded.
