Programmatically get the path for installations

[oldgalileo]

How can you get the path to the install point for codelldb (for example)?

[williamboman]

I haven't fully figured out the nicest way this could be done, so the following is subject to change in the future, but for now you can do this:

local mason_registry = require("mason-registry")
local codelldb = mason_registry.get_package("codelldb") -- note that this will error if you provide a non-existent package name
codelldb:get_install_path() -- returns a string like "/home/user/.local/share/nvim/mason/packages/codelldb"

Sadly this no longer works. The get_install_path method was completely removed.

I had the same problem, there is a changelog note:

mason.nvim/CHANGELOG.md

Line 65 in 7c7318e

#### `Package:get_install_path()` has been removed.

I'm using vim.fn.expand "$MASON/packages/codelldb" for example.

Thanks for the heads up 👍

Is there some other api that replaces that ?

Like the one in comment above?

You can use the $MASON environment variable instead, as reported in the changelog.
