@milljm we need to talk about this tomorrow

[GiudGiud]

please do I need this or another solution for the VTB

[loganharbour]

We can do this if we enable working directory to not be out of the directory. Is that something you're willing to support for the VTB?

[GiudGiud]

Yup that's how I am setting up the tests here
idaholab/virtual_test_bed#518
and how I plan to do this moving forward

[GiudGiud]

any chance this could get in? It is needed for VTB HPC testing

[GiudGiud]

What exactly are we waiting for here?

[loganharbour]

What exactly are we waiting for here?

I thought of a quicker solution. I'll enable --sep-files testing with working_directory iff the working directory doesn't resolve out of directory

[loganharbour]

#29928 should resolve the immediate issue
