Adding projects from submodules leads to some incompatibilities with plugins about mkdocs-material HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting. Fixed in f2f919c. The projects plugin will now set the current working directory to the directory the mkdocs.yml is located in and build the project from there. This should resolve all known issues with relative paths used in plugins and extensions when using the projects plugin.

There's a problem with your reproduction however that makes it crash regardless whether you're using the projects plugin or not. Snippets are stored inside docs, but the path is incorrect in index.md:

...
Reference the whole python file 

```python
--8<-- "dummyproject-snippets/local.py"      # <- incorrect 
--8<-- "docs/dummyproject-snippets/local.py" # <- correct
```
...

After prepending docs/ to both local.py snippet URLs, the build succeeds with and without the plugin.

Thanks @squidfunk , that was a lot faster than anticipated!

And yes, even though the reproduction works on my side, it contains a nasty hack to circumvent an issue with paths for snippets (duplicate paths) which you just fixed.

I'll be happy to test everything in a clean environment. Have a good start into the week!

Thanks for reporting. @alexvoss I'm pretty sure this is related to the cwd issue you encountered. We'll look into it, but please understand that it might take some time – it is tricky to fix and will require us to rewrite some things, but I agree that this should definitely work.

Thanks for looking into it. I totally understand. Feel free to ping me to test it!
