Paket auto-generate scripts uses wrong current directory with type providers

I’m sceptical if this is a Paket issue per se but interested if anyone else has seen this: -

#load @"..\..\paket-files\include-scripts\net452\include.main.group.fsx"
/// load some other files

open FSharp.ExcelProvider
/// open some other namespaces

type Component = ExcelFile< @"..\..\data\DataFile.xlsx">

This appears fine in the IDE (Code or VS) but when compiled gives this error: -

BatchImport.fsx(20,18): error FS3033: The type provider 'ExcelProvider.ExcelProvider+ExcelProvider' reported an error: Could not open file 'c:\Users\Isaac\Source\Repos\myProject\paket-files
\include-scripts\net452\..\..\data\DataFile.xlsx'. DirectoryNotFoundException - Could not find a part of the path 'c:\Users\Isaac\Source\Repos\myProject\paket-files\data\DataFile.xlsx'.

Note that the path it’s using is relative to where the paket script was loaded, rather than where the script I’m working in was loaded. Is this: -

• A Paket issue?
• An ExcelProvider issue?
• Something more fundamental with how scripts are loaded within the context of F# and Type Providers?

@isaacabraham I’ve used the FSharp.Data.SqlClient and few other type providers from such scripts, although I always SOURCE_DIRECTORY as a reference, I think it would solve your problem:

type Component = ExcelFile< const(__SOURCE_DIRECTORY__ + @"/../../data/DataFile.xlsx") >

Yeah, __SOURCE_DIRECTORY__ fixes the problem I think.
