bug: -p / --parent should also operate in the current directory #2224
Description
Describe the Bug
This is tangentially related to #2221.
It would be helpful if -p / --parent would also find the .tool-versions in the current working directory. That would mean that one can almost always rely on asdf with -p changing the local tool version.
It looks like this would be achieved simply by not setting directory = filepath.Dir(directory) before the loop in internal/cli/set/set.go findVersionFileInParentDir.
Also, I'm not seeing the stderr message that the source suggests I should see when a parent .tool-versions isn't found. If I redirect stderr to file, there's nothing in the file, either.
Steps to Reproduce
- cd $SOME_ASDF_PROJECT_DIR
cat .tool-versionsasdf set -p $SOME_TOOL $SOME_VERSIONcat .tool-versions
Expected Behaviour
With the source as it currently is, I would expect to see a message on stderr from the asdf set, and .tool-versions to remain unchanged.
With my requested change so that -p also operates on .tool-versions in the current directory, I wouldn't expect anything on stderr, but the .tool-versions to be updated.
Actual Behaviour
I'm not seeing anything on stderr from the asdf set, but nor am I seeing any change to the contents of .tool-versions.
