Context

We’ve got an Xcode project that consists of multiple sub-projects + some common code base that sits at the root level of the meta-projects. We open the MetaProject.workspace file in Xcode and then select the sub-project’s scheme to run/build. Sourcery ends up running from one of the child projects and reference files above it in the directory path. Prior to 0.6.0 we could just use ../ in the sources or templates path to reference those locations but that no longer works.

MetaProject
│   MetaProject.xcworkspace
└───SourceryTemplates
└───CommonCode
└───MySubProject
│   │   MySubProject.xcworkspace
│   └───GeneratedStubs
└───AnotherSubProject
│   │   AnotherSubProject.xcworkspace
│   └───GeneratedStubs

Environment

Xcode 8.3.3 Apple Swift version 3.1 (swiftlang-802.0.53 clang-802.0.42)

Issue

After updating to 0.6.1 or 0.7.x we can no longer reference files above the root as the ../ appear to be ignored. We’ve tried this using both the YAML definition file and Bash shell commands with no luck.

YAML definition

sources:
  - MySubProject
  - ../CommonCode
templates:
  - ../SourceryTemplates/
output:
  MySubProject/GeneratedStubs

args:
  app: MySubProject
  imports: 
    - PromiseKit
    - CoreLocation

Bash shell definition

"$PODS_ROOT/Sourcery/bin/sourcery" --sources "$SRCROOT/../CommonCode" --templates "$SRCROOT/../SourceryTemplates/" --output "$SRCROOT/MySubProject/GeneratedStubs" --args app=MyProject,imports=PromiseKit,imports=CoreLocation
"$PODS_ROOT/Sourcery/bin/sourcery" --sources "$SRCROOT/MySubProject" --templates "$SRCROOT/../SourceryTemplates/" --output "$SRCROOT/MySubProject/GeneratedStubs" --args app=MyProject,imports=PromiseKit,imports=CoreLocation

Results

We see the following failure in Xcode when we try to run the MySubProject

error: '/Users/MrC/Documents/dev/MetaProject/MySubProject/CommonCode' does not exist or is not readable.
error: '/Users/MrC/Documents/dev/MetaProject/MySubProject/SourceryTemplates' does not exist or is not readable.
