When testing `./Setup` only, when `withDirectory` is used, instead of changing into that directory when invoking processes, we now use the `--working-dir` flag and keep a fixed CWD. This will therefore passively test that `--working-dir` is working In addition, it makes it possible to test things easily such as `--working-dir` with a relative path as an argument. `cabal-install` will only invoke `--working-dir` with an absolute path and hence is isolated from any double interpretation issues. Testing against these double interpretation issues is very important as it also prevents over-interpretation of relative paths into absolute paths. Passing absolute paths to tools such as hsc2hs can lead to the build directory leaking into an interface file which leads to non-reproducible results.
