${EXECDIR} default value for import paths

[zied-cision]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Pycharm-lsp is unable to resolve resource paths using the builtin variable ${EXECDIR}, so all keywords are not identified.

*** Settings ***
Resource          ${EXECDIR}/PageObjects/Login.resource

Describe the solution you'd like
Is it possible to consider ${EXECDIR}, as an abosolue path for the project root (same like $PROJECT_DIR$ path variable)

[zied-cision]

This will help a lot, especially if you have a nested tests structure

Seems fair... as a note, as a workaround you should be able to set robot.variables (or just Variables in Intellij) in the settings to:

{"EXECDIR": "c:/<path>"}

(until a default value is given)

This workaround seems working so far.

Thanks @fabioz

I'm closing this as won't fix.

Using ${EXECDIR} maps to the current working directory when Robot Framework is executing, so, it's possible that it points to different places and having a default is a bit odd.

You can still define the ${EXECDIR} to point to a different place using the robot.variables setting (so, the workaround is actually the official way to support it).
