Nextflow: how to get the process work dir, within the process

Hi, i am trying to get the process work dir (i.e work/ae/7162763812631/ ) path within the process that is using that work dir.

I can't find any information online, the only thing searches give me is to use $PWD however that is the root dir of the actual project. Surely this has to be possible?

proccess get_process_work_dir {

    script:
    """
    echo $PWD
    """

}

gives me /path/to/nextflow/project

proccess get_process_work_dir {

    script:
    """
    echo ${task.baseDir}
    """

}

gives me null

when i need:

/path/to/nextflow/project/work/1b/1e6d7dff679367be83f943b5dd2636
