I am developing a inhouse specification style acceptance testing framework. Our 
application suite is always lauched relative to a common directory where all 
configs are available. I need to run my automated test relative to that 
location. I think maven sure fire plugin has an option to support changing the 
working directory. Can you please provide the same at the earliest. For now I 
am specializing absolute paths only for this framework. Can you please look 
into this at the earliest.

I am  finding scalatest 2.0 to be of great flexibility. Thank you for the great 
testing platform

I'm also missing this. For surefire plugin I have:

<configuration>
  <workingDirectory>${basedir}/target</workingDirectory>
...

It would be a good next step to specify an enhancement here so someone can submit a PR but I need a workaround first...

... however, this is the wrong project. This issue does not belong here but in https://github.com/scalatest/scalatest-maven-plugin.
Also this issue:
scalatest/scalatest-maven-plugin#66
links to:
https://github.com/janhicken/surefire-scalatest
and using that may avoid the issue.
