Dapr run -f uses different relative path to locate file secrets when using a secretstores.local.file component

[marcduiker]

Expected Behavior

When running dapr run -f . and a local file secret store is used where the path is relative to the location where the dapr run command is started, Dapr should initialize the secret component successfully.

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: daprSecretStore
  namespace: default
spec:
  type: secretstores.local.file
  version: v1
  metadata:
  - name: secretsFile
    value: ./Resources/secrets.json
  - name: nestedSeparator
    value: ":"

Actual Behavior

The local secrets.json file can't be found when running dapr run -f ..

Output:

time="2025-03-14T11:19:25.198140021Z" level=fatal msg="Fatal error from runtime: process component daprSecretStore error: [INIT_COMPONENT_FAILURE]: initialization error occurred for daprSecretStore (secretstores.local.file/v1): [INIT_COMPONENT_FAILURE]: initialization error occurred for daprSecretStore (secretstores.local.file/v1): open ./Resources/secrets.json: no such file or directory" app_id=workflow instance=15022173cb30 scope=dapr.runtime type=log ver=1.15.3

When the path in the secretstores.local.file is changed to

    value: ./../Resources/secrets.json

The component is initialized successfully. But this is not the path relative to where the dapr run command is started.

---

When the regular dapr run command is used it does work with the relative path of value: ./Resources/secrets.json.

dapr run --app-id workflow-app --resources-path ./Resources --app-port 5253 --dapr-http-port 3516 -- dotnet run --project ./WorkflowApp/

Output

INFO[0000] Component loaded: daprSecretStore (secretstores.local.file/v1)  app_id=workflow-app instance=15022173cb30 scope=dapr.runtime.processor type=log ver=1.15.3

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Run dapr run -f . in the root of this repo. I'm using a devcontainer running in WSL on Windows (it also reproduces on Windows without a Linux devcontainer).
