Description
Using mantid.config[] with a relative path should always return the absolute path that has been constructed from the location of the properties file, this is not happening.
To reproduce ()
- open up the Mantid.properties file;
- change the instrumentDefintion.directory key to be a relative path to the instrument directory rather than the hard-coded absolute one;
- open a terminal and set the PYTHONPATH variable to point to your bin directory (or bin/debug for windows)
- change to any other directory than the one containing the 'Mantid.properties' file and start python
- type:
from mantid import config print config['instrumentDefinition.directory']
the path should be absolute but it is not at present.
