tsoa service doesn't work from two different entrypoint locations

[ekeren]

I tried this:

I tried using the tsoa service from two different entrypoints (different directories).

It turns out that the folder resolution is based on the location of the entrypoint (*.main.w file)

This happened:

currently the tsoa service is dependant on the entrypoint location, which makes it impossible to work with.

I expected this:

to work the same from any place

Is there a workaround?

I think the library should require that an absolute path and add support for __dirname as soon as possible.

And we should deprecate entrypointDir

You'll notice that:

• wing run ./src/wing/main.w
• wing run ./src/wing/subfolder/main.w doesn't work
