Unable to find mod.config, looking in wrong directory

[mikemike]

I'm on Win10, installed dependencies from https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/blob/release-20200202/INSTALL.md.

I've placed ra2-master directory into C:/Program Files/OpenRa/mods/. In here I run make dependencies or make all and get met with the following error:

λ  ./make test

Required mod.config variables are missing:

Repair your mod.config (or user.config) and try again.                                               
Press enter to continue.                                                                             

It looks like make is looking in the user root, in this case C:/Users/Mike/. I might be able to get this working by editing make.ps1 or by extracting into the root of my user directory, but both solutions seem broken.

Am I missing something?

I still have to figure out what is causing this, but for some reason it always looks one directory up the tree on my end. You can work around this issue for now by using the old Command Line instead of Powershell (just type cmd inside the Powershell host).

I think I figured it out. Would you mind testing #734 to see if it fixes your problem?

[mikemike]

Amazing, thanks @abcdefg30 . Your patch on #734 works, as does using cmd instead of Powershell.

Output from #734 patch:
