dump-env always looks for the .env file in the project-root

Problem

Given the situation that I relocated the env files lookup from root to root/my-custom-folder. It works just fine with configuring runtime variables (dotenv_path) in the composer.json.

"runtime": {
   "dotenv_path": "env/.env",
}

However when I want to dump-env the variables into a php file I run into the problem that the symfony:dump-env command always looks for the project root instead of using the newly configured env folder.

In the DumpEnvCommand class the path is hardcoded.

class Symfony\Flex\Command\DumpEnvCommand

protected function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output): int
{
        if ($env = $input->getArgument('env')) {
            $_SERVER['APP_ENV'] = $env;
        }

        $path = $this->options->get('root-dir').'/.env';

Proposed solutions:

• Either add an optional argument to the command (path) where the lookup path for .env could be overridden (this seems to be the easiest solution)

• Get the location of the env files from runtime somehow? (haven't done any proof of concept about this yet)

Symfony version: v.6.0.0
Flex version: v1.18.1

Have same issue, and sadly that "--root-dir" option is not working.
