Checklist
What happened?
If the .condarc setting conda_build.root-dir is set and recipe.yaml is present, Conda will exit with an error. Ideally, this would either translate to the --output-dir setting or output a warning without causing a Conda error. Adding the setting manually to VALID_ARGS.build in compat.py allows the build to proceed. Error below:

An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.
If you suspect this error is being caused by a malfunctioning plugin,
consider using the --no-plugins option to turn off plugins.
Example: conda --no-plugins install <package>
Alternatively, you can set the CONDA_NO_PLUGINS environment variable on
the command line to run the command without plugins enabled.
Example: CONDA_NO_PLUGINS=true conda install <package>
