I think this change requires a bit of discussion. We used to have this support and we removed it to be more closely aligned with Terraform.
@tsotnet @jparthasarthy do you have thoughts on this?
jparthasarthy commentedon Apr 27, 2021
Upon further consideration, it looks like Terraform does support this via the
--chdirflag. This does seem like useful functionality to have, so no opposition to adding this.However, I think we should generally line up our declarative APIs with theirs, so my vote is to ship their specific API (--chdir and the same behavior.) @tedhtchang would it be possible to amend your PR?

@jparthasarthy technically Terraform's flag is
-chdir, but I prefer to follow a more standard approach of one hyphen for short command and two hyphens for long commands. So I agree it should be--chdir, but would be nice to have a shorthand too, maybe-c?jparthasarthy commentedon Apr 27, 2021
