Mutagen file sync in devMode using absolute paths appears to not be working

Question

In a recent release of Garden support for syncing of files outside of the garden module s root using absolute paths instead of relative ones was supposed to have been implemented However in my testing locally it appears like files aren t being synced My test scenario was like this First I tested the module using a relative reference to a file I wanted to sync src my test service garden garden yaml ``` type container name my test container services name my test http devMode sync source Dockerfile target Dockerfile ``` Then I exec into the container and verify that the Dockerfile has been mounted to Dockerfile Next I modified src my test service garden garden yaml like so ``` type container name my test container services name my test http devMode sync source src my test service garden Dockerfile target Dockerfile ``` And after deploying again in dev mode the Dockerfile mount does not show up Is this a possible regression or is there any chance that absolute paths weren t field tested before being marked as supported

Some additional info that might help I used the mutagen sh script packaged with Garden to print out the syncs For the non working sync I can see it s appending the module root directory to the sync URL ``` Name Deployment my garden my test http 1 Identifier sync pqxnin5Ri2b4PxliS4Fmu177aLY0hTppFKzN851EFuX Alpha URL src my test service garden src my test service garden Dockerfile Connected Yes Synchronizable contents 0 directories 0 files 0 B 0 symbolic links Beta URL exec workspace garden tools kubectl 49eb930aa565a80f kubectl exec i context=my cluster namespace=my garden container my test http Deployment my test http garden mutagen agent synchronizer Dockerfile Connected Yes Synchronizable contents 0 directories 0 files 0 B 0 symbolic links Status Watching for changes ```

One additional follow up it looks like even though absolute paths are not treated as absolute using the posix notation like does work in this context and allows us to sync files outside of the module root So I think this is a combination of a bug and or inaccurate docs

Thanks for reporting this < quaint librarian 55734> Absolute paths were allowed in https github com garden io garden pull 3145 And it looks the changes made in the PR above were not enough to support it There is a path concatenation with module root here https github com garden io garden blob main core src plugins kubernetes dev mode ts L153 And it s unnecessary when an absolute path is used I ll check this and will try to submit a fix PR in asap
