Allow CLI --output=output.html to override permalink of --input=input.html #2184
Description
Describe the bug
I'm using Eleventy on the command line to compile a Nunjucks file into an HTML file. It works great but I'm having trouble getting the output to go where I want to. I want to compile the test.njk file I have in the root directory to test.html in the same directory. I've read the using the same input and output directory pitfall page, but I don't think it applies here.
To Reproduce
Contents of test.njk below, all of the included files are simple HTML files:
<!--

-->
<html lang="en">
<head>
{% include "head.html" %}
<body>
<div class="body-wrapper" id="body-wrapper">
{% include "header.html" %}
<hr>
{% include "footer.html" %}
</div>
{% include "scripts.html" %}
</body>
</html>Trying to compile:
eleventy --dryrun --input=test.njk --output=.
[11ty] Skipping ./test/index.html from ./test.njk
eleventy --dryrun --input=test.njk --output=test.html
[11ty] Skipping test.html/test/index.html from ./test.njk
eleventy --dryrun --input=test.njk --output=./test.html
[11ty] Skipping ./test.html/test/index.html from ./test.njk
Expected behavior
I want test.html output to the root directory, not under a test or test.html folder.
Interestingly, it worked back when I had the file named index.html.
eleventy --input=index.njk --output=.
