I see. Sorry I wasn't any help.

I haven't tried using an absolute path for the entrypoint. I've always used a relative path.
I have used esbuild where the directory is different than the current directory. To do that, i set the workingDirectory to the directory my app is in, then set entry point as a relative path from the workingDirectory.

Oh actually the build option is called absWorkingDir.

I believe the outdir can be an absolute path if you want or need it to be outside of the absWorkingDir that you set.
