What do you want to change?

I'm currently having a problem with sqlc-gen-from-template plugin in which I'm passing the path of a template as following:

sqlc.yml:

version: "2"
plugins:
- name: sqlc-gen-from-template
  process:
    cmd: sqlc-gen-from-template # https://github.com/fdietze/sqlc-gen-from-template
sql:
  - engine: "sqlite"
    queries: "src/persistence/queries.sql"
    schema: "src/persistence/schema.sql"
    codegen:
    - out: src/persistence/gen/
      plugin: sqlc-gen-from-template
      options:
        template: "src/persistence/rust_rusqlite.go.tmpl"
        formatter_cmd: "cargo fmt"

I'm using a meson script like the following to call sqlc generate:

src/meson.build:

run_command(
  sqlc, 'generate', '-f', meson.project_source_root() / 'sqlc.yml',
  env: [
    'PATH=' + fs.parent(find_program('sqlc-gen-from-template').full_path())
  ],
  check: true,
)

But I'm getting this error:

--- stderr ---
# package sqlc-gen-from-template
error generating code: process: error running command 2025/07/12 22:17:50 Error parsing template file: open src/persistence/rust_rusqlite.go.tmpl: no such file or directory

This error is produced because the sqlc command is being run with src/ as the CWD due to the meson script being there, so it is searching for src/src/persistence/rust_rusqlite.go.tmpl, which doesn't exists.

So this is the feature request:

Add support for sqlc command to change the CWD

Acceptance criteria:

• It must also work with plugins, that is, the CWD option should be inherited to the plugin's spawn process. I don't how it should work with WebAssembly (I guess it should be a noop since it doesn't have access to the filesystem)
