sourcedir not working?

[quartzo]

It seems that this line from cli.js overides any command line option:
options.sourceDir = file && file[0] !== '/' ? process.cwd() : '/';

Agreed, logging process.cwd in my script displays "/" no matter what I pass to --sourceDir.

The bug is in the cli.js, getOptions() function:

[
    'pidFile', 'logFile', 'errFile', 'watch', 'minUptime', 'appendLog',
    'silent', 'outFile', 'max', 'command', 'path', 'spinSleepTime', 
    'sourceDir', 'uid'
].forEach(function (key) {
    options[key] = app.config.get(key);
});

options.sourceDir = file && file[0] !== '/' ? process.cwd() : '/';
if (options.sourceDir) {
    options.spawnWith = {cwd: options.sourceDir};
}

As you can see, options.sourceDir will be overwritten, no matter what was passed with --sourceDir.
There is no workaround, unfortunately.

Yep, quartzo mentioned that above. It seems the easy fix would be just moving the override up, so the command line overrides the default instead of the other way around.

options.sourceDir = file && file[0] !== '/' ? process.cwd() : '/';
[
'pidFile', 'logFile', 'errFile', 'watch', 'minUptime', 'appendLog',
'silent', 'outFile', 'max', 'command', 'path', 'spinSleepTime',
'sourceDir', 'uid'
].forEach(function (key) {
options[key] = app.config.get(key);
});

if (options.sourceDir) {
options.spawnWith = {cwd: options.sourceDir};
}
