//! Workspace root discovery at runtime.
//!
//! The server needs to locate configuration files and TLS certificates
//! relative to the project root. [`get_crate_root`] resolves this by
//! walking up from the running executable past the `target/` directory.

use std::{env, error::Error, path::PathBuf};

/// Returns the root directory of the crate, using the current executable path
/// as reference.
///
/// It works by going up the directory tree until it finds a directory that
/// ends with "target", which is not the case for the root directory.
