Hi, 

I wanted to know how we can get CEP extension folder path in jsx code.

Thanks

You can either pass the location from your JS to your JSX, getting the location using:

var csInterface = new CSInterface(); 
locatoin = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION;

Or you can get the folder location of the JSX file and use .parent to go back to the root folder.

var folder = File($.fileName).parent.toString(); //This will get the folder your jsx is in add more .parent if you want to go further back
var file = File(folder + "/testFile.json");
app.open(file);

Can't seem to edit my post, nothing loads when I click more.

Any way I missed a ) at the end 

var csInterface = new CSInterface(); 
locatoin = csInterface.getSystemPath(SystemPath.EXTENSION);

Damn not being able to edit is a pain. 

You can also ignore the line

app.open(file)

 I copy and pasted from another time I needed the snippet.

Curious why on Windows we dont seem to have write permission to the CEP extension folder. On OSX i can easily write a JSON file with settings. But on Windows it jsut wont allow me to do so. 
I tried you code with; var folderPath = File($.fileName).parent.parent; to get the root folder. It does return a path, but it wont write to that path. On windows that CEP extension folder seems to be read only
