Need help with using $refs

My current directory structure:

| spec
      | main.yaml
      | template.yaml
      | organisation
          | organisation.yaml

I am trying to import a schema written in template.yaml to organisation.yaml. organisation.yaml contains operations for a path and it will again be added via refs to main.yaml to a path.

I am facing an issue when trying to reference a schema template.yaml in organisation.yaml.

organisation.yaml

get:
    summary: Fetch an organisation's data
    responses:
      "200":
        description: ok
        content:
          application/json:
            schema:
              type: object
              properties:
                gkstatus:
                  $ref: "../template.yaml#/components/schemas/gkstatus"

1. When I try ../template.yaml, it searches in the parent directory of spec
2. When I try ../spec/template.yaml, it searches in /spec/spec/template.yaml
3. I got it working by having a copy of template.yaml inside the organisation folder and one inside the spec folder near the main.yaml file

I am confused, can some one help me out?

Start with spec/main.yaml, spec/template.yaml, and spec/organisation/organisation.yaml, then trace how the project resolves the relative $ref from the nested file. Confirm the supported reference base and verify that the schema can be reused without duplicate copies of template.yaml.
