Unable to use rector.dist.php

Rector version	2.3.6

I just upgraded to v2.3.6, which includes an interesting new change for supporting rector.dist.php files. So I tried on one of my existing projects:

symfony composer update
// ...
  - Upgrading rector/rector (2.3.5 => 2.3.6): Extracting archive
// ...

mv rector.php rector.dist.php 
symfony php vendor/bin/rector process

But I get:

 [ERROR] The path "/path/to/project/rector.php" does not exist. 

Running symfony php vendor/bin/rector (without any command) returns the same.

How's the upgrade path?

/cc @carlos-granados could you verify this? Thank you.

@mvhirsch I just tested this with a local project, moved rector.php to rector.dist.php and it worked fine. Can you please double check your setup and confirm that there is a rector.dist.php file available? Also I am not sure why you are using the symfony command to run php, not sure if that might have something to do? Can you try without it?

@mvhirsch are you maybe referencing your rector.php file in the config file? Maybe in the paths to be inspected?
