Output path is not relative from current location

Issuing the following from some-path:

daml build --project-root ../an-outer-path --output example.dar

results in ../an-outer-path/example.dar.

I would assumed it gives some-path/example.dar instead. Is this intentional?

I play with this a bit. For example

daml build --project-root ../an-outer-path --output ../some-path/example.dar

results in ../some-path/example.dar.

While if I issue the following from some-path:

daml build --project-root ../an-outer-path --output ./example.dar

it still produces the DAR in the project root.

This sounds like a bug. I opened an issue on GitHub: daml build output path is relative to project root instead of being relative to current directory. · Issue #7913 · digital-asset/daml · GitHub

Note that the fix will not be available in the stable 1.7 release scheduled for later today, but will be available in the next 1.8-snapshot (also scheduled for later today) for early testing.

As always, bear in mind that snapshots should not be used for any production use-case, but we very much welcome early feedback on them, as it helps us ensure the stable ones are stable…
