`quarto inspect` and temporary directories

From rstudio/rstudio#11201 (comment)

With this R code:

dir.create(tf <- tempfile()); 
dir.create(file.path(tf, "sub"))

main <- file.path(tf, "main.qmd")
writeLines("---\ntitle: quarto document\n---\n", main)

sub <- file.path(tf, "sub", "sub.qmd")
writeLines("---\ntitle: quarto document\n---\n", sub)

writeLines('project:\n  title: "test"\n', file.path(tf, "_quarto.yml"))

system(paste0("quarto inspect ", tf, "/main.qmd | grep project"))  
system(paste0("quarto inspect ", tf, "/sub/sub.qmd | grep project"))  

getting:

> system(paste0("quarto inspect ", tf, "/main.qmd | grep project"))  
  "project": "../../../private/tmp/RtmpAMjixD/file1842c7157d908"
> system(paste0("quarto inspect ", tf, "/sub/sub.qmd | grep project"))  
  "project": "../../../../private/tmp/RtmpAMjixD/file1842c7157d908"

In rstudio/rstudio#11201 (comment) I worked around it by by using workingDir but I was wondering if this was an issue.

% quarto --version
0.9.415

It appears as if we don't make any effort to normalize paths from inspect to absolute. I think for now it's best to run this from the workingDir but we will try to improve this to make everything absolute after we release v1.0

Thanks. I'll stick with the approach in rstudio/rstudio#11201 then.
