default_manifest_path relative path

[aleita]

It seems variable default_manifest_path does not support relative path.
Anyway the default value is ./manifests
Why does not it support relative path ?

https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/configuration#default-manifest does indeed say it's allowed to be relative. I think it's because we ensure the file exists. I'm not sure we need to do this.

A patch to clean this up would be welcomed.
