Mitosis output dir should accept any valid path

[kylecordes]

I am interested in helping provide a fix!

Yes

Which generators are impacted?

• [X] All
• [ ] Angular
• [ ] HTML
• [ ] Qwik
• [ ] React
• [ ] React-Native
• [ ] Solid
• [ ] Stencil
• [ ] Svelte
• [ ] Vue
• [ ] Web components

Reproduction case

dest: ['../anywhere']

Expected Behaviour

Mitosis should accept any valid path for the dest.

(Also, why is the dest an array?)

Actual Behaviour

Currently the output only accepts “forward” paths, i.e. it won’t write to “../../somewhere”.

Additional Information

I'm not sure how big an obstacle this is in real use cases, but it requires workarounds in the E2E.

This is exacerbated by the need for the current working directory to be where the input src is located, see #494. Once that problem is fixed it would it would be possible to run Mitosis from an arbitrary higher directory, making this bug less noticeable.

It isn't! Providing an array of 1 item works by sheer JavaScript luck 😄
