Shared local config doesn't work with parent dir or unexpanded paths

[Skoti]

I have a config like this:

version: 0.1
cli:
  version: 1.22.2
plugins:
  sources:
    - id: trunk
      ref: v1.6.1
      uri: https://github.com/trunk-io/plugins
    - id: skoti
      local: ../shared

the ../shared contains plugin.yaml and it works.

However, it stops working as soon as I change the local path to either:

• .. or ../ - to simply indicate the parent directory
• ~/configs/trunk or $HOME/configs/trunk - to point to the home directory via tilde expansion or env variable

Is this something that could/should be supported? It works with ../shared or absolute paths like: /Users/skoti/configs/trunk so might be not worth adding.

---

If not then it should be fixed to return a proper error.

As .. or ../ makes trunk to hang for infinity ♾️ .

And the tilde expansion returns:

.trunk/trunk.yaml:9:7
 9:7  high  [skoti] '~/configs/trunk' does not exist  trunk/config-error

Unable to run check due to invalid config

Which is not true because the file exists, so I would expect something like an unrecognized path error or if we can be specific unsupported path expansion.

Interestingly, if I put a symlink ../shared/plugin.yaml to point to ~/configs/trunk/plugin.yaml via tilde expansion then it works. So looks like only the configured path is significant.
