Description

Currently, whenever a PathBuf is resolved within config.toml in case it is a relative path (for example: ./database), the path is resolved from the current working directory (cwd) which leads to different configuration versions even when the same config file is used when running ursa from other directories. IMHO this is a confusing behavior since whenever a config.toml is being edited by a possible user, they are laser-focused on where their config file is located when editing.

Fix

An easy fix, is to change processes cwd to config's directory before loading the config and cd to the initial cwd after config is loaded. Or... we can use contextual loading.

I think it's expected when using relative paths that they'd be relative to where you run though?

@ozwaldorf imagine that was the behavior in your vim config.

ahh didn't fully understand. Yeah i agree we should resolve all paths inside config.toml from the config.toml path. Although for now using full paths works fine
