Pkg.jl: dev . in nested directories

[cossio]

If you do dev . in a deeply nested directory containing a package, it adds the package with a path like ../../../../home/cossio/ ..., that is, it traveses back up to the root directory and then goes back in. It would be nicer if it just computed a clean absolute path and used it.

This is a feature, . is a relative path and we thus record the path relative the project.

[cossio]

I see. Is there a way to get an absolute path to the current directory (without having to type it) instead of a relative one (like .)?

Pkg.develop(PackageSpec(path = pwd()))
