drupal quick:start fails to complete when providing a relative path

[undersound]

There's one thing I came across during installation with drupal quick:start.

I noticed that for the installation to succeed I had to enter an absolute path during the question "Enter value for directory placeholder".

The value given there is handed over to composer create-project which seems to work as the composer project does gets created but when the chain comes to the drupal site:install command it executes drupal site:install standard --root=testfolder --db-type="sqlite" --no-interaction which throws the following error message:

[ERROR] The command "drupal site:install standard --root=testfolder --db-type="sqlite"
--no-interaction" failed.

composer require drupal/console:~1.0 --prefer-dist --optimize-autoloader

Perhaps it's more clear for the user to either:
a. make it more clear that one should provide an absolute path during that question or
b. make sure the site:installer will run succesfully when a relative path is given
