Was just reading the ACF2021 deprecated list and noticed 
GetTemplatePath
in there which currently in ColdBox https://github.com/ColdBox/coldbox-platform/blob/development/system/web/config/ApplicationLoader.cfc#L177 expect it works just fine but just flagging in case it's useful 🙂 `https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/deprecated-features.html

Wow, that's interesting-- I wonder why they would deprecate that function? I'm not aware of any replacement that does the same thing and it's very important to allow a framework to detect what folder it's executing in.
@Mark Takata (Adobe) Is there an explanation for this one?
a
I don't think I've ever used 
getTemplatePath
can you use 
getBaseTemplatePath
instead?
or 
getcurrenttemplatepath
?
b
Man, the descriptions for these suck on cfdocs, lol
I can't tell the difference between any of them
Gets the absolute server file system path of the requested CFML file.
Returns the filepath of the base template in this request
Gets the absolute server file system path of the file that calls this function.
It's like it's saying the same thing 3 times using different words
a
🙂 Off the top of my head 
getBaseTemplatePath
is the path to the Application.cfc. 
getcurrenttemplatepath
is the current script path where the function is called from ,
b
Then it sounds like maybe the "current" one is the one we need to switch to. I'll be honest, I don't use these often and I didn't even realize there was three versions of it, lol
fingers crossed 1
