eval with :dir in included file

eval with :dir in included file

[Dominique Dumont]

Hi

I have a file with this code block:

~~~ file terraform-admin.org

** Retrieve public IPs
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: retrieve-public-ips
:END:

#+begin_src shell :results verbatim :dir "stacks/public-ips" :exports both
terragrunt output ips
#+end_src

~~~

Exporting this file works fine.

I have another file which imports the file above:

~~~
#+include: "../../../infra-terraform/terraform-admin.org::#retrieve-public-ips" :only-contents 	t
~~~

Here the export fails with this (slightly edited) error:

process-file: Setting current directory: No such file or directory, /home/domi/Documentation/admin/stacks/public-ips/

Indeed this directory does not exist: org-mode is looking for "stacks/public-ips" directory in the wrong place, i.e. org-mode
is starting to search "stacks/public-ips" from the *including* file.

Is there a way to tell org-mode to search "stacks/public-ips" directory starting from the directory of the *included* file ? 

All the best

Dominique

No, currently.
We do something similar in `org-export--update-included-link', but not
for :dir.

Thanks for the quick answer.

FTR, I'm now using ':eval never-export' [1] to workaround this issue.

All the best
