I have a repo structure like so:

- <folder>
  - <sub folder>
    - service.env

service.env only contains a version number. What I am trying to achieve is getting the depName from the parent directory where service.env lives. I'm using a custom regex manager to get the file, but I have been unable to use packageFile or packageFileDir within the depNameTemplate field - it always shows as undefined. I am even trying something like "packageNameTemplate": "{{ lookup (split {{ packageFileDir}} '/') 1 }}"

Is what I am looking to do even possible? Many thanks.
