Description

DotNetCorePublishSettings has a property WorkingDirectory which I set to my project dir relative to repository root (where my cake.build file is). eg, ./source/MyProject. There is also a property OutputDirectory which I set to ./obj/Docker/publish.

Now I would assume, that output directory would be relative to working dir, but it's not - it is relative to cake.build file (aka repository root).

Contributor guide
