Is it possible to configure the execution directory of task

[carlqt]

I'm wondering if it's possible to run the tasks in a Taskfile, outside of the current working directory, but the execution is relative to the current working directory?

If it's not clear, let's say I have this project layout. foo being the root directory of the project and bar is a directory that contains a Taskfile.yml.

.
└── foo/
    ├── docker-compose.yml
    ├── bar/
    │   └── Taskfile.yml

I've been trying to run the command using -d and -t flag e.g. task -t bar/Taskfile.yml.

I want to run a task from bar/Taskfile.yml but the execution directory remains in foo. I expect if the command is pwd, it displays the current directory where the command was executed.

Let me know if my question makes sense so I can improve it if not.

Hi @carlqt,

Have you tried to run with both -t and -d? That should work.

You could also set dir: '{{.ROOT_TASKFILE}}' in that task.
