CircleCi job: I need to make the working-directory as a variable

Question

I am working in many project in same time so i need to use a different working directory in circle,look what i did:

steps: - checkout

  - run:   
      name: Run test 
      command: |
          mvn test -Dcucumber.options="/home/circleci/project/features/$featurename"
          if [ "$interface_impacted" == "Pro web App (ap PC)" ];
          then
           WDR= "QaPlanityUserAutomation"
          else
           WDR= "QaPlanityProAutomation"
          fi
      working_directory: $WDR

But it does not work

You can use save_workspace and attach_workspace to provide working_directory.

For example:

version: 2.1
jobs:
  doing-things-job:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/base:stable
    parallelism: 3
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: "Say hello"
          command: "echo Hello, World!"
      - run:
          name: "Write random data"
          command: openssl rand -hex 4 > rand_${CIRCLE_NODE_INDEX}.txt
      - run:
          name: "Emulate doing things"
          command: |
            if [[ "$CIRCLE_NODE_INDEX" != "0" ]]; then
              sleep 30
            fi
      # save the files your deploy step needs
      - save_workspace:
          root: .     # relative path to our working directory
          paths:      # file globs which will be persisted to the workspace
           - rand_*

  deploy-job:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/base:stable
    steps:
      # attach the files you persisted in the doing-things-job
      - attach_workspace:
          at: . # relative path to our working directory
      - run:
          command: |
            echo "this is a deploy step"

workflows:
  deploy-step-workflow:
    jobs:
      - doing-things-job
      - deploy-job:
          requires:
            - doing-things-job

You can refer to Configuring CircleCI and Using ENV variable as working directory?
