[Bug] .jar shims change the working directory when running from cmd

[davidpatel0]

Bug Report

Current Behavior

.jar shims change the current working directory to the package directory when running from cmd.

Expected Behavior

shims should not change the working directory

Additional context/output

for example, install apktool: scoop install main/apktool and then run apktool in cmd:

C:\>apktool --version
2.9.3

C:\Users\User\scoop\apps\apktool\current>

When running from powershell this doesn't happen for some reason.

The cause of this is

Scoop/lib/core.ps1

Lines 1012 to 1018 in d337bb1

 } elseif ($path -match '\.jar$') { 
     warn_on_overwrite "$shim.cmd" $path 
     @( 
         "@rem $resolved_path", 
         "@cd /d $(Split-Path $resolved_path -Parent)" 
         "@java -jar `"$resolved_path`" $arg %*" 
     ) -join "`r`n" | Out-UTF8File "$shim.cmd" 

I think cd shouldn't be used anywhere in shims.

Windows version: 11

}

Another problem that this approach (modifying the working directory) causes: using relative paths with .jar shims is broken (as they are being resolved from scoop\apps\X directory and not from the real working directory.

For example with apktool, run apktool d apk_in_current_dir.apk and an error occurs:

Input file (C:\Users\User\scoop\apps\apktool\current\.\apk_in_current_dir.apk) was not found or was not readable.
