Describe the bug?

Hello!

diff_relative this directive is not returning the relative path from the folder I'm in.

    with:
      diff_relative: "true"
      files: |
        web/**

returns paths with web prefixed. Is this expected?

Apologies if I misunderstood the functionality of diff_relative. I've also tried using a boolean, non-string like value. (true) I couldn't find the example to get the relative path within a specific folder.

Thank you!

Hi @okbel it appears the docs needed some improvement, I’ve highlighted that you need to specify the top level directory you’ll like to use via the path input.

In your case that would be

    with:
      diff_relative: "true"
      path: web
      files: ”**”

If the intent is to change the working directory.

Note: That the patterns would match files located within the current working directory.
