[1.1.6] - Factorio server not getting path correctly

When I run the commands below to load saves, create them etc, they do so in my current directory
Code: Select all
/opt/factorio/AwF-Bot-Test$ ../servers/test/bin/x64/factorio --start-server-load-latest
# tries to load the latest save from /opt/factorio/AwF-Bot-Test
/opt/factorio/AwF-Bot-Test$ ../servers/test/bin/x64/factorio --create testSaveMap
# creates a map called testSaveMap in /opt/factorio/AwF-Bot-Test
I believe this shouldn't however be their behavior, as they should instead do so in their respective directories, i.e.
Code: Select all
/opt/factorio/AwF-Bot-Test$ ../servers/test/bin/x64/factorio --start-server-load-latest
# should instead load a save from /opt/factorio/servers/test/saves
/opt/factorio/AwF-Bot-Test$ ../servers/test/bin/x64/factorio --create testSaveMap
# should instead create the map testSaveMap in /opt/factorio/servers/test/saves, not /opt/factorio/AwF-Bot-Test
I believe this is a bug, but it may as well not be one. In my opinion, the Factorio server should understand that it's directory should be in /opt/factorio/servers/test and it shouldn't try to work with things in other directories unless specifically told to. Since there is no command-line parameter to specify the location of the saves directory (unlike a mod directory), it is impossible to run commands to start/stop servers from locations on the disk except for where the Factorio server is located.

Have you tried with a custom config set?
Code: Select all
-c, --config PATH config file to use
Relevant bits:
Code: Select all
[path]
read-data=__PATH__executable__\..\..\data
write-data=__PATH__executable__\..\..
A general suggestion, if you want a directory to be used a certain way, use a script, and set working directories and use absolute paths wherever possible instead of relying on default behaviors.

I have tried that, and it seems to not work either. In the config/config.ini file, I changed in the absolute path to the server - before it was relative to the Factorio executable I believe. It however still didn't fix it.
I tried also using factorio-init for this, but it doesn't support generating maps from a scenario that is given as a parameter (at least as far as I see)
Code: Select all
[path]
read-data=/opt/factorio/servers/test/data
write-data=/opt/factorio/servers/test/
[/code
Without custom config set

Hmm, seems to work now
. Will check & post an update if anything changes (i.e. it stops working again)

Thanks for the report however that's just how it all works. The config file exists to specifically handle things like this.
