Is there any way that paths in my config file be relative to the folder provided when I run PHPStan?

I want to run PHPStan for multiple projects, using the same config file. I have the following folder structure:

phpstan.phar
phpstan.neon
project-1/
    app/
    vendor/
    ...
project-2/
    app/
    vendor/
    ...

and I run

php phpstan.phar project-1

I would like the paths that I set in my config file to be relative to the CLI parameter "project-1". So if I say, for example,

excludePaths:
        - vendor

for project-1/vendor or project-2/vendor to be excluded, based on whether I run php phpstan.phar project-1 or php phpstan.phar project-2.

Is there any way to achieve that?

I achieved that by using an environmental variable, and using that in my config file, like this:

excludePaths:
    - %env.PROJECT_DIR%/vendor

But we need #14222 to be resolved, to be able to use environmental variables in folder paths with the with optional folder mark.

You can try %currentWorkingDirectory%:

excludePaths:
        - %currentWorkingDirectory%/vendor
