`poetry --directory=<relative_path> install` doesn't work (relative path can't be expressed as a file URI)

[ktetzlaff]

• Poetry version: 1.3.1
• Python version: 3.11.1
• OS version and name: Debian bookworm (12)
• pyproject.toml: default, as created by poetry new

• I am on the latest stable Poetry version, installed using a recommended method (pipx).
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• I have consulted the FAQ and blog for any relevant entries or release notes.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option) and have included the output below.

Issue

poetry install with --directory=<relpath> results in error: relative path can't be expressed as a file URI.

Reproduce with:

poetry new newprj

# install fails with relative path
poetry --directory=newprj install
# => error: relative path can't be expressed as a file URI

# install succeeds with absolute path
poetry --directory=$PWD/newprj install
# => OK

Maybe check for relative paths and convert to absolute?

Output with -vvv
