packageFileDir doesn't contain full path

How are you running Renovate?

Self-hosted Renovate

If you're self-hosting Renovate, tell us which platform (GitHub, GitLab, etc) and which version of Renovate.

GHE, 41.116.4 in Docker full image

Please tell us more about your question or problem

We follow the example on using workingDirTemplate of a postUpgradeTasks : https://docs.renovatebot.com/configuration-options/#workingdirtemplate

"description": "Run ruff fix after lock file maintenance",
      "matchManagers": ["poetry"],
      "matchUpdateTypes": ["lockFileMaintenance"],
      "postUpgradeTasks": {
        "workingDirTemplate": "{{{packageFileDir}}}",
        "commands": [
          "poetry install",
          "poetry run ruff check --fix ."
        ],
        "fileFilters": ["**/*.py"]
      }

But it always ends with this error in a monorepo (it works well in singlerepo):

If we remove the workingDirTemplate and update the command to be prefixed with cd ((cd {{{packageFileDir}}} && poetry install)) then in works correctly for all repos.

The debug log shows that the {{{packageFileDir}}} is translated to a plain directory name, not a full path as the docs specifies:

The directory with full path where the packageFile was found

You can see this also in the screenshot, check the options.cwd field.

I guess the implementation of packageFileDir cannot be changed, because it would break too many existing usages, but at least the docs should be updated, and hopefully something like packageFileDirFullPath introduced 🙏

I have just noticed this in the workingDirTemplate docs:

A template describing the working directory in which the commands should be executed, relative to the repository root.

So it is OK that packageFileDir is relative 👌 Unfortunately, we don't know why we are getting the ENOENT error, but it seems to be related to the working directory specification.

Maybe it will help someone, but to overcome this issue in both monorepos and singlerepos, we are using this syntax:
"({{#if packageFileDir }}cd {{{packageFileDir}}} && {{/if}} poetry install)"
