Problems with relative `dir` paths in bundle.yml

[uwefladrich]

What happened?

When a project defines the dir keyword (as opposed to git), relative paths do not seem to work properly. The document states that

dir  : <path-to-package>  # 13. [required] Instead of "git", specify path to existing project. \
                                Absolute path or relative path to 'source' dir expected.
                          #     'version' is not required

However, in my tests neither a path relative to source, nor relative to bundle.yml seem to work.

What are the steps to reproduce the bug?

The following minimal test structure is used:

.
├── arch
├── bundle.yml
├── external
│   └── ecbuild/  # contains ecbuild clone
└── source

In a first test, the dir path to ecbuild is relative to source:

name: relative_dir_test
version: 0.1

projects:
  - ecbuild:
      dir: ../external/ecbuild
      bundle: false

This results in the error:

> ecbundle-create 

Downloading bundle with 1 threads for 
    [...]/bundle.yml
A directory [../external/ecbuild] is provided for project [ecbuild] but it does not exist.

Time elapsed for downloading: 00:00:00


Creating bundle for 
    [...]/bundle.yml

Bundle created at src-dir
    [...]/source

projects:
    - ecbuild (None)

!!! Errors occured !!!

In a second test, I tried to provide the path relative to the bundle.yml file:

name: relative_dir_test
version: 0.1

projects:
  - ecbuild:
      dir: external/ecbuild
      bundle: false

This lets ecbundle-create run without error, but the resulting source/ directory does not work:

ll source/

Thank you, this went under the radar for which I apologise. This should now be fixed in develop branch and will be released soon.
