[BUG] file_roots to relative path seems broken about salt HOT 7 OPEN

@hartwork Thanks for the hint! I somehow overlooked and also didn't expect that...

I have the same issue, all my scripts are broken now after update. I also have downgraded to previous version.

b0e7c62 by @hurzhurz is what caused this regression. @s0undt3ch

This is crazy, it makes 3007.1 unusable. Could this be fixed please?

@dtzampanakis Can you tell a bit more about how you run the master with this example config?

I wanted to try it, but I can't get it working, even with 3006.8.

I made a file structure like this in a test VM:

/root/master-test/
/root/master-test/master (your mentioned config)
/root/master-test/states/
/root/master-test/states/abc (dummy file)
/root/master-test/pillar/

And I started the master like this:
cd /root/master-test/ && salt-master -c .

The master actually uses the file structure in /root/master-test/ for minion keys, cache, etc.
But a cp.list_master against a connected minion doesn't list anything.

It looks like the master worker threads have / as CWD. So with "./states" they actually look in "/states".
And if I create "/states/" and a file "/states/abc", cp.list_master actually shows the file "abc".

Am I missing a step? Or do you use anything special to run the master, like docker or so?

@hurzhurz this is about salt-ssh. Have you tried salt-ssh?

@hurzhurz Assigned this to you assuming you are up for the task. :)
