[Feature] Improve working_dir behaviour #2857

Closed

Description

@peterschmidt85
  • Automatically detect the working_dir from the Docker image
  • Allow to set an absolute path to working_dir

Without it, specifying a path under files can be quite counter-intuitive:

working_dir: /examples # if not specified, taken from the image
files:
  - examples
    path: .

May be required for #2851

    We still need to add automatic import of the working directory from the Docker image as planned.

    We even write it in a warning:

    The working_dir is not set — using legacy default "/workflow". Future versions will default to the image's working
    directory.

    I'd create a new issue since now it's only about dropping the support for legacy working_dir.
