Description
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues
### Describe the bug
Generate OpenAPI documents on build (`dotnet build`) throws `DirectoryNotFoundException` when application called `Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(AppContext.BaseDirectory)`
### Expected Behavior
No exception thrown.
### Steps To Reproduce
``` csharp
dotnet new webapi -n test-webapi
cd .\test-webapi\
dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.ApiDescription.Server
```
open `Program.cs` and insert `Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(AppContext.BaseDirectory)` at first line.
``` csharp
dotnet build
```
### Exceptions (if any)
test-webapi 失败,出现 9 错误 (1.3) → bin\Debug\net9.0\test-webapi.dll
C:\Users\xxxxx\.nuget\packages\microsoft.extensions.apidescription.server\9.0.3\build\Microsoft.Extensions.ApiDescription.Server.targets(68,5): error : System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\xxxxxx\source\repos\xxx\test-webapi\bin\Debug\net9.0\obj\test-webapi.OpenApiFiles.cache'.
### .NET Version
9.0.200
### Anything else?
Backgrounds:
I have a webapi that run as windows services and access Sqlite database. The connection string is configured in appsettings.json like `Data Source=./mydb.db`.
The database file is always stored in C:/Windows/System32 due to application is running under system process.
Call `Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(AppContext.BaseDirectory)` so that database file willbe saved at application content directory.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the Program.cs change and the `dotnet build` steps in the issue. Start by reading `Microsoft.Extensions.ApiDescription.Server.targets` around line 68 and trace how `test-webapi.OpenApiFiles.cache` is located or created. Done means the sample builds without a DirectoryNotFoundException after changing the current directory.
