What happened?

Formerly in v7 we could execute a config from a inner folder calling it like npx wdio ../myFolder/test.conf.js.
Since migration to v8 I receive the error:

? Could not execute "run" due to missing configuration, file "test[.js/.ts]" not found! Would you like to
 create one? (y/N) 

Going inside a folder like npx wdio myFolder/test.conf.js or calling the config from the same folder is working fine.

I tested resolving the path before calling wdio command in our cli tool, but without success.

What is your expected behavior?

Expected behaviour is to be able to execute from any location using relative or absolute paths.

Any support is welcome!

How to reproduce the bug.

• To reproduce the bug, init a new project using npm init wdio and select mocha as framework.
• Let the command create the sample spec.
• Navigate into to the test folder.
• Execute command npx wdio ../wdio.conf.js.

Relevant log output
