Description

Path "/home/user/sketch/sketch.ino" is accepted. Path "./sketch.ino" results in an error, as the sketch is not recognized to reside in parent directory "sketch".

Translating all paths to absolute does work, as demonstrated by the linked script.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the difference between the absolute path "/home/user/sketch/sketch.ino" and the relative path "./sketch.ino", then inspect the sketch path handling in the Arduino IDE. Compare the behavior with the linked core.sh workaround; done means a relative sketch path is recognized in its parent directory without requiring path translation.
