custom copr project not working

When triggering packit copr-build with project specified, it sets the project name to something else - dhodovsk/packit-cli-hello-world-master and then fails with ERROR Request wasn't successful, there is probably a bug in the API code.

Packit config

[dhodovsk@shiny hello-world]$ cat .packit.yaml 
---
specfile_path: hello.spec
jobs:
- job: copr_build
  trigger: pull_request
  owner: dhodovsk
  project: packit
  metadata:
    targets:
    - fedora-all

First copr run:

[dhodovsk@shiny hello-world]$ packit copr-build 
Packit 0.8.1 is being used.
Input is a directory: /home/dhodovsk/repos/github.com/packit-service/hello-world

I think the precedence should be:

1. --project value
2. copr_build job project value from config
3. packit-cli-{repo_name}-{branch/commit}

we’re IMHO missing 2.

oki, so it seems that we are not reading or using the config value, didn't notice that And is using of the config value the expected behaviour in the case of CLI? Due to the docs, there is no relation between job config and packit CLI. Also in the command help string, there is nothing about config: @click.option( "--project", help="Project name to build in. Will be created if does not exist. " "(defaults to 'packit-cli-{repo_name}-{branch/commit}')", )
