[BUG] Generate commands only run in context of the CWD, not the directory of the asyncapi.yaml file

[adammfrank]

Describe the bug.

When I run a generate command from one directory up from the asyncapi.yml, it is looking for relative refs in the directory the command was run from (cwd) not the directory containing asyncapi.yml

This is the asyncapi.yaml

asyncapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: My App
  version: 1.0.0
  description: Where the real work gets done.
servers:
  rabbitmq:
    host: localhost:15672
    protocol: amqp
channels:
  runs:
    address: runs
    title: Runs
    servers:
      - $ref: '#/servers/rabbitmq'
    bindings:
      amqp:
        is: routingKey
        exchange:
          name: runs
          type: headers
          ack: true
          durable: true
    messages:
      runCompleted:
        payload:
          $ref: './schemas/runCompleted.json'
operations:
  publishPlaybookRun:
    channel:
      $ref: '#/channels/runs'
    action: send

./schemas/runCompleted does exist and is next to asyncapi.yaml. The generate command can't find it because it is running one directory up from asyncapi.yaml and is looking for ./schemas from there.

If I run the command from the same directory as asyncapi.yaml then it works

asyncapi generate fromTemplate asyncapi.yaml @asyncapi/[email protected] -o ./docs

Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong, or if you think this should be fixed. It sounds like the type of thing I could help with.

Expected behavior

I expect generate to work from any directory as long as it is supplied a path to a valid asyncapi.yaml. Or it would also work if it needed a context argument like docker build uses.

How to Reproduce

Create an asyncapi.yaml with relative path refs.
Run a generate command from a directory above the asyncapi.yaml file

asyncapi generate fromTemplate asyncapi/asyncapi.yaml @asyncapi/[email protected] -o ./docs

Hey, have you tried again with v2.1.1 maybe? It sounds a lot like this could be the same problem that was fixed in that release.
