source_dir is not really project_dir

[flohw]

Hi,

I come across an error which was not impactful for me until now...

The documentation says that $browser->saveSource('file') will save into <project-dir>/var/browser/source by default or BROWSER_SOURCE_DIR. The former is fine to me but does not actually works... It saves into ./var/browser/source, which is not the same.

I have a monorepo project with an agular client in client directory and a Symfony backend into server directory. My tests are under server/tests/.

When running my test with my cli (with docker) I use docker compose exec -w /symfony/server php bin/phpunit <path to test>, everything works as expected and my file is stored in %kernel.project_dir%/var/browser/source.
But for a reason I don't quiet understand fully, when I run the test into PHPStorm, the cwd is /symfony instead of %kernel.project_dir%.

To clarify a bit: %kernel.project_dir% is /home/user/project/server on my local machine but /symfony/server inside the docker container.

Inside the saveSource method, the current directory is /symfony/server and the default path works as expected when running through my cli with the -w docker option. But is /symfony while running through phpstorm.

As this is the only case which is erroneous and the kernel.project_dir is not explicitly mentioned, I doubt it comes from my configuration (we can run the bin/console from anywhere and kernel.project_dir is always the symfony project root dir (/symfony/server in my case).

I know where to fix the issue, but I don't know how as I don't have access to the getContainer method as the class does not depend on symfony test environment. I can provide a path if you can provide me some info.

After writing all this, maybe <project-dir> is not meant to be %kernel.project_dir% and all the issue is not relevant, but providing the real default source path may make things clearer. 🤔
