baseDir is not defined in PS 1.7

[abmcr]

I have developed a simple module in PS 1.6; a simple js int the module use the baseDir instruction as

 

    var query = $.ajax({
                    type: 'POST',
                    url: baseDir + 'modules/......',

In PrestaShop 1.7 i get an error 

 

ReferenceError: baseDir is not defined

 A simple workaround is to hardcode the base Dir with php line

 

$url = .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/';

 

but why baseDir fail?

Thank you

it was removed from FrontController, as were many smarty variables.

 

better to create your own variables than rely on core to create them for you.
