Hydra 1.2 introduces hydra.job.chdir. This config allows users to specify whether Hydra should change the runtime working directory to the job's output directory. hydra.job.chdir will default to False if version_base is set to >= "1.2" (or None), or otherwise will use the old behavior and default to True, with a warning being issued if hydra.job.chdir is not set.

If you want to keep the old Hydra behavior, please set hydra.job.chdir=True explicitly for your application.

For more information about hydra.job.chdir, see Output/Working directory and Job Configuration - hydra.job.chdir.
