Additional context

I don't know if this is a bug or if it's intended. I don't think it is well-made.

In "StrawberryShake.Server" Version "15.1.3" you cannot generate the files as it used to be because you cannot overwrite outputDirectoryName in the config file. Now the generated data just lands in obj directory, see code:

outputDirectoryName can never be overwritten in config file because output file will always be set in Line 58

graphql-platform/src/StrawberryShake/MetaPackages/Common/MSBuild/StrawberryShake.targets

Line 58 in ed5ac28

$(GenCommand) -o "$(GraphQLCodeGenerationRoot)"
see

graphql-platform/src/StrawberryShake/Tooling/src/dotnet-graphql/GenerateCommand.cs

Line 125 in ed5ac28

var outputDir = args.OutputDir ??

Start with src/StrawberryShake/MetaPackages/Common/MSBuild/StrawberryShake.targets at line 58 and src/StrawberryShake/Tooling/src/dotnet-graphql/GenerateCommand.cs at line 125. Trace how outputDirectoryName and GraphQLCodeGenerationRoot are passed into generation, then verify the Strawberry Shake generation flow honors the configured output directory instead of always selecting the obj directory.
