Input and output paths cannot be absolute #131

Closed saliceti closed 7 years ago

saliceti commented 8 years ago

Using absolute paths would be useful and would mimc the behaviour of volumes in docker. But paths are forcefully made relative to the working directory by design: outputs and inputs

However the documentation for inputs and outputs doesn't say the path cannot be absolute.

Ideally we want to be able to use absolute paths, but if it is not possible, we should at least fix the doc.

We explicitly do not want input and output paths to be absolute. I agree this could be better messaged via documentation. Despite closing this, I'm tagging your tracker issue with docs so we can track it as part of a larger epic on Documentation.
