Research direction

Start by reading the linked project-system issue 3619 to understand the different working-directory behavior in Visual Studio and dotnet. Then investigate whether EF Core tools can use the mentioned StartWorkingDirectory and RunWorkingDirectory project metadata; done means providing a confirmed workaround or clearer user guidance.

Description

area-tools consider-for-next-release

See https://github.com/dotnet/project-system/issues/3619 This bug is painful. I wonder if there's anything we can do to work around it or give the user more guidance. We might be able to leverage the StartWorkingDirectory/RunWorkingDirectory project metadata.
