Member Data Documentation

◆ path

Array path

Lists the search paths to load the JavaScript modules.

When the shell is launched, this variable is initialized to

  • the home folder of shell + "share/mysqlsh/modules/js",
  • the folder specified in the MYSQLSH_JS_MODULE_PATH environment variable (multiple folders are allowed, separated with semicolon).

Users may change the sys.path variable at run-time.

If sys.path contains a relative path, its absolute path is resolved as a relative to the current working directory.

◆ argv

Array argv

Contains the list of arguments available during a script processing.

When the shell is used to execute a script, the arguments passed to the shell after the script name will be considered script arguments and will be available during the script execution at sys.argv which will contain:

  • The first element is the path to the script being executed.
  • Each script argument will be added as an element of the array.

For example, given the following call:

$ mysqlsh root@localhost/sakila -f test.js first second 3

The sys.argv array will contain:

  • sys.argv[0]: "test.js"
  • sys.argv[1]: "first"
  • sys.argv[2]: "second"
  • sys.argv[3]: "3"
