it's kinda annoying that getDirectoryFromPath() • only works on files, you can't use it to get the parent from a directory (i.e. on itself, the returned value from getDirectoryFromPath()) • also doesn't have a depth https://docs.lucee.org/reference/functions/getdirectoryfrompath.html i.e.

GetDirectoryFromPath( GetDirectoryFromPath( getCurrentTemplatePath() ) ) ==  GetDirectoryFromPath (getCurrentTemplatePath() )

Yes and no... it really doesn't make any claims to get the parent directory... maybe a getParentDirectory function is needed Pass in a file it gives the files directory else it crawls up until it can't crawl anymore

I understand your ask, but I think the BIF does what it says on the tin
