How to check in runtime if .NET Core app is started via dotnet cli

I have a test runner app which runs different tester apps. Depending on the case if the runner app is started via dotnet CLI command (e.g. >dotnet runner.dll -t tester1) or via simple running of the published .exe file (e.g. >runner.exe -t tester1), I want to build different paths to the tester apps executable files.

How it's better to check this?

That's how I'll use it (it's a POC app, I need only that 2 cases here):

public TesterProcess(bool runViaDotnetCli)
{
    TesterInfo = new T();
    if (runViaDotnetCli)
    {
        Process = new Process
        {
            StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
            {
                FileName = "dotnet",
                // TesterInfo.ExecutableFileName is something like "tester1.dll" here
                ArgumentList = {TesterInfo.ExecutableFileName, "--data", "something"},
                UseShellExecute = false, CreateNoWindow = false
            }
        };
    }
    else
    {
        Process = new Process
        {
            StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
            {
                // TesterInfo.ExecutableFileName is something like "tester1.exe" here
                FileName = TesterInfo.ExecutableFileName,
                ArgumentList = {"--data", "something"},
                UseShellExecute = false, CreateNoWindow = false
            }
        };
    }
}

One option for this would be to use Process.GetCurrentProcess to the get the current process and then use its ProcessName property:

if (Process.GetCurrentProcess().ProcessName == "dotnet")
{
    ...
}
