Search for ini files

LF‑ET searches for INI files in several steps:

1.

The search begins in the directory in which the source code is ge­ne­ra­ted. The search for INI file is run from there in the folder structure backwards to root directory.

2.

Subsequently, the search is continued in the directory where the decision table is stored. The search for INI file is run from there in the folder structure backwards to root directory.

3.

Then, starting from the current working directory, all folders are searched for an INI file. The “current working directory” is the folder in which LF ET is e­xe­cu­ted.

See: Help > Info > Details > System Properties > user.dir

4.

Finally, all folders are searched for INI files starting from the User Home directory.

See: Help > Info > Details > System Properties > user.home

Exceptions:

  • The search for the Project.ini file always starts with step 2.

  • In the Project.ini file a folder can be specified via the key ide.language.ini.path, then INI files are only searched for in this folder. The search for INI files can also be completely suppressed here by entering "".
