Innnnnnteresting. I’ll try to reproduce later today. I *thought* the CISettings declared a relative workspace, but maybe there’s something that we’re making an assumption on. Good sighting.

Can you open a bug in edk2toolext?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Running stuart_ci_build outside of edk2 tree deletes lots of files

I know it probably isn't expected/supported, but I noticed that running
stuart_ci_build outside of the edk2 tree causes it to delete a lot of files:

I ran the following from one directory above edk2:

~/.local/bin/stuart_ci_build -c edk2/.pytool/CISettings.py
TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=GCC5

And afterwards, "git status" reported:

Changes not staged for commit:
   (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
   (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

I also got build errors such as:

ERROR - Build.py #000 from

File/directory not found in workspace
CRITICAL - Build failed
