Paths outside of Cargo workspace fail to resolve at build time #1727
Description
Checklist
- I've looked through the issues and pull requests for similar reports
Describe your issue
Users can include documentation, or other embedded text in the source via a multitude of ways
#![doc = include_str!(concat!("../", env!("CARGO_PKG_README")))]#![doc = include_str!("../README.MD")]etc.
If the path to README.MD falls outside of the current workspace, e.g.
README.MD
src/
Cargo.toml (workspace root)
project/
lib.rs (references README.MD, level above workspace root)
Cargo.toml
Then compilation fails with cross
error: couldn't read `lossless-transform-utils/src/../../../README.MD`: No such file or directory (os error 2)
--> lossless-transform-utils/src/lib.rs:1:10
|
1 | #![doc = include_str!("../../../README.MD")]
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But it does succeed with cargo
