How do i get the full path of the current extension?

General Questions
1

Is there an API for that?

You can use the paths API for that: call overwolf.io.paths.localAppData and concatenate your extension id and your app version to it:

Overwolf.io.paths.localAppData + "/overwolf/extensions/[your extension id]/[version]"

Where version can be retrieved from the manifest.

Another trick is to use the simpleio plugin to get the paths.

@eransharv little typo “overwolf” not “Overwolf”

Btw, this way doesnt work if extension is loaded as unpacked while developing. Almost in my case, my app is not in %localappdata%\Overwolf\extensions\etc etc" while testing it.
