Can't use Path.GetFullPath in netstandard1.2

[ghost]

Hi,

Same issue/question as dotnet/aspnetcore#1551 by @Sebosek

How to get the full path of a given relative path in netstandard1.2? Path.GetFullPath seems to be available only for netstandard1.3 and above. Out of curiosity, why is that?

Thanks

According to the netstandard1.3 vs netstandard1.2 diff, Path.GetFullPath isn't available on netstandards before 1.3.

I'm not sure why that is the case, as it was available on the full framework .NET 1.1. Other Path APIs like GetFileName from .NET 1.1 are available on netstandard1.2, so GetFullPath ostensibly should be as well. Maybe it isn't supported as a part of another platform that implements netstandard<1.3? I don't know which one that would be though if not desktop.

It wasn't available on Windows 8/8.1 Universal.
