Accessing file from current directory works, but accessing configuration files do not

Source:

#!/usr/bin/env dotnet-script
#r "nuget: Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json, 2.1.1"
#r "nuget: Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder, 2.1.1"
#load "serilog.csx"

using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using Serilog;

public static var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
          .AddJsonFile("config.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true)
          .AddJsonFile("config.secrets.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true)
          .Build()
          .Get<Config>();
Log.Verbose(config.Secret);
public class Config { public string Secret { get; set; } }

File structure:

~
  - config.csx
  - config.json
  - config.secrets.json

However, another script that accesses a file works just fine:

#!/usr/bin/env dotnet-script
#r "nuget: SubtitlesParser, 1.4.7"
#load "serilog.csx"

using Serilog;
using SubtitlesParser.Classes.Parsers;

var parser = new VttParser();
using (var fileStream = File.OpenRead("captions.vtt"))
{
    var items = parser.ParseStream(fileStream, Encoding.UTF8);
    Log.Verbose("{@items}", items);
}

~
  - parse.csx
  - captions.vtt

serilog.csx

#!/usr/bin/env dotnet-script
#r "nuget: Serilog.Sinks.Console, 3.1.1"

using Serilog;

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .MinimumLevel.Verbose()
    .WriteTo.Console()
    .CreateLogger();

@seesharper is this caused by us not resetting the current directory correctly? since the script runs from the temp folder

This is related to how Microsoft.Extensions.Logging resolves the full path to the config file when you give it a relative path. My guess here is that it is resolved based on the entry assembly which is dotnet-script.

There is really not much we can do about this other than providing the full path to the config file.

Like this:

public static var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
          .AddJsonFile(Path.GetFullPath("config.json"), optional: false, reloadOnChange: true)
          .Build()
          .Get<Config>();
