Docker command is not executed in the container working directory

[lgilz]

I would expect that the command in the job description job_specifications.tasks.command of the jobs.yaml leads to the same result as when I use docker run. However, the command option in the job definition seems to overwrite the containers working directory to be $AZ_BATCH_TASK_WORKING_DIR. This is a non-standard procedure and very confusing.

I would expect that shipyard jobs add with the following jobs.yaml produces the same output as docker run busybox pwd.

Instead docker run busybox pwd outputs / and the shipyard job outputs /mnt/batch/tasks/workitems/test/job-1/task-00007/wd. Therefore, if I would want to run code in my own container, I first had to change to the right working directory. I would very much appreciate if you change that behavior - or at least state this very clear in the documentation.

jobs.yaml

job_specifications:
- id: test
  tasks:
  - docker_image: busybox
    command: pwd

You are correct, this information is missing from the documentation.

I will also add an option to control the default as using -w in additional_docker_run_options is not intuitive.

That looks good! I'm really impressed by the quick response rate! Keep up the good work!
