Description
I'm trying to use relative imports with kaitai, which is a supported doc
however, I get file not found in the tmp directory when I try to do this
Here is the file I am trying to use:
meta:
id: chat
file-extension: worldchat
endian: le
imports:
- ../header
seq:
- id: packet_header
type: header::data
- id: chat_channel
type: u1
enum: chat_channel
- id: unkonown2
type: u2
- id: message
type: u4_wstr
enums:
chat_channel:
....
This is the file structure:
Let me know if there's any other info that I can provide to help resolve this isse

No repository file or test is named in the report. Start by reproducing the relative ../header import from the provided YAML and inspect the Kaitai import handling around the temporary directory. Done means the header file resolves from the struct's location without a file-not-found error.
