How should I get application folder correctly in Linux DRM?

[kyuranger]

I want to get the folder of my Avalonia application.

My Avalonia application is located in /home/admin/AvaloniaApplication

At first, I obtained it through AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory. It can obtain the path normally on Windows, but the path obtained on Linux is always /home/admin/

Then I tried to use AppContext.BaseDirectory, but I also got the incorrect path /home/admin/

I saw on the Internet that Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location) is used to obtain it, but this method obtains a blank path.

Now I can't think of any better way to solve it. Could you please give me a good suggestion? Thank you.

Every single one of these returns the same correct path for me:

        Console.WriteLine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
        Console.WriteLine(AppContext.BaseDirectory);
        Console.WriteLine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory);

Technically the current directory can change after the app starts, but almost nobody does that in .NET.

I saw on the Internet that Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location) is used to obtain it, but this method obtains a blank path.

According to Scott Hanselman (a guy who works for Microsoft):

How does it work in .NET Core 5 (> preview 7)? Well, because the assemblies are embedded and loaded from memory in 5, so like any other in-memory assembly, they don't have a location. Any use of Assembly.Location is going to be suspect.

Are you sure you are not accidentally launching from the wrong location? Is AvaloniaApplication the name of your actual app or is it meant to be a folder?

The problem is solved, it was my code that had the problem and not the actual situation mentioned in my question. But through this time, I also learned that it would be more appropriate to use AppContext.BaseDirectory. Thank you very much.
