ROOT_DIR variable is not an absolute path.

[wburningham]

• Task version: Task version: v3.30.1 (h1:HdfCTAJDHoWL3+3RyY+o+0IK1O5xQaSBrZIq2SKOQ84=)
• Operating system: macOS: Apple M1 Max
• Experiments enabled: should be N/A (but I do have TASK_X_REMOTE_TASKFILES=1)

Problem

The documentation on Special Variables says:

ROOT_DIR | The absolute path of the root Taskfile.

But the value of ROOT_DIR is a relative path not an absolute path.

Setup

/tmp ❯ tree
.
├── bar
│   └── taskfile.yaml
├── foo
/tmp ❯ cat bar/taskfile.yaml
version: '3'
tasks:
  default:
    cmds:
        - echo {{ .ROOT_DIR }}
/tmp ❯ cd foo/
/tmp/foo ❯ task -t ../bar/taskfile.yaml
task: [default] echo ../bar
../bar

Expected /tmp/bar. Actual ../bar

This is working since v3.35.1
