AWS-ECR orb: Build context path issue

Hi all,

I came across an issue with the build-image command from the latest version of the aws-ecr orb (8.1.2).
I have my dockerfile in a different directory of the repo and reference that one with path in the orb:

- aws-ecr/build-image:
          push-image: false
          repo: REPO_NAME
          tag: latest
          path: PATH_TO_DOCKERFILE

Why is this parameter also used to change the build context? How can I use my Dockerfile in a different dir but still keep the build context in .?

Maybe I am missing something in the documentation and the source code of the command, but this does not quite make sense to me.

Thanks,
Antonio
