Read a .csv file located in the core with nodered

[Felix_]

Hello all,

I would like to read a csv file on nodered.

I installed the palette "node-red-contrib-alasql" wich is normally able to read a .csv file from a local path.

My motor.csv file is located there : 

with the webDAV protocol i even checked the path : 

However, on nodered this path doesn't work : 

(I even tested other possibilities) 

Is there another way to find the path ?

Thanks a lot for any answer

As I do not know this extension it is hard to say but I think it is not using WebDAV protocol and cannot access the used path.

For file access there are already some topics about this like "Save a file created in Node Red on to CtrlX CORE" or more common "How can I upload a file, e.g. a configuration for my machine and how can I access this file".

Useable pathes to the active configuration are:

/var/snap/rexroth-solutions/common/solutions/activeConfiguration/node-RED
/var/snap/ctrlx-node-red/current/solutions/activeConfiguration/node-RED
