This is meant to change the behavior of py_binary
Description
Currently if you run a binary with bazel run
then the working directory will be the sandboxed bazel directory. This behavior is inconsistent with other implementations, for example in rules_go
it is set like this https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_go/blob/b60f4475e3d97431318da1a0a81752a8884e6994/go/tools/go_bin_runner/main.go#L250
Describe the solution you'd like
bazel run
should use the BUILD_WORKING_DIRECTORY
environment variable to set the working directory.
Describe alternatives you've considered
You can do this hack where you add --run_under="cd $PWD &&"
to the command but it only works on POSIX systems and you basically have to know the trick to have the command do what you might expect
