Building commit file path from repo root instead of execution dir

[Maxim-Durand]

What Changed

Modified packages/core/src/git.ts so that getGitLog returns a list of commit object with the modified files path resolved from the root of the git repository instead of the execution directory.

Why

Commits objects were built with

auto/packages/core/src/git.ts

Line 388 in 335fadb

files: (commit.files || []).map((file) => path.resolve(file)),

But the documentation of path.resolve states:

If, after processing all given path segments, an absolute path has not yet been generated, the current working directory is used.

Since it was only passing the file path returned by git log (which is a relative path) there was no absolute path generated and it would hence append the current directory (i.e the directory from where auto is run from) as a prefix to what git log returned. Meaning this would produce the correct absolute path only if auto is run from the root of the repository.

Todo:

• Add tests
• Add docs

@hipstersmoothie Can you restart the CI ?

[Maxim-Durand]

The CI failures seem unrelated to my code changes but not sure. @hipstersmoothie Should I investigate more or is this a known issue ?

[Maxim-Durand]

@hipstersmoothie I'm really sorry for the spam but I'm also really eager to see this bug fix released so I'm able to use auto with https://github.com/restfulhead/npm-auto-plugins/tree/main/packages/filter-by-workspace-path

Considering the very small change involved in this PR and the fact CI pipelines seem broken, would you consider accepting the risk of merging without a green CI to release this bug fix sooner rather than later ?

On a different note, what is the process to add/reference a new plugin ? Does it have to be hosted in the plugins folder or can I just make a PR to change the readme and reference https://github.com/restfulhead/npm-auto-plugins/tree/main/packages/filter-by-workspace-path ?

@Maxim-Durand maybe it's the node version in the actions that's causing the tests to fail? we need those passing before a merge
