Allow Cloud Code to run Skaffold relative to a non-root directory

[hypnoglow]

• Cloud Code for IntelliJ version: 20.6.1
• OS: Linux 5.7.6-arch1-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What did you do?

We store our skaffold.yaml files not in a project root, but in nested directory, i.e. deployment/skaffold.yaml. In the same manner we have Helm chart in deployment directory, i.e. deployment/mychart. In skaffold.yaml, this chart is referenced relative to the project root:

deploy:
  helm:
    releases:
      - name: myrelease
        namespace: mynamespace
        chartPath: deployment/mychart

When I run skaffold run -f deployment/skaffold.yaml -p dev-env from the project root, everything works correclty, and chart reference deployment/mychart is handled properly, so chart gets deployed. However, this is not the case for Cloud Run plugin.

Cloud Code Kubernetes confiuration allows specifying skaffold file in advanced section, but it seems it treats its directory as the project root and thus all references inside this file are treated relative to it. So I get the error:

watching files for deployer: listing files: issue walking releases: lstat deployment/mychart: no such file or directory

What did you expect to see?

I expect that the plugin assumes project root as the base directory for skaffold relative paths. Otherwise configurable.

What did you see instead?

@hypnoglow thanks - this is a good feature request. I've tagged it and we'll triage internally.

I think another setting in the UI like Working Directory (or something similar) would help here.
