+relative path, `working_directory` should be used to specify the directory in
+the guest that path is relative to.
+
+```ruby
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.vm.provision "puppet" do |puppet|
+    puppet.hiera_config_path = "hiera.yaml"
+    puppet.working_directory = "/tmp/vagrant-puppet"
