Net Core: Find Application Assembly Location from Integration Test

We have a API Real Application which is running following code to get the Assembly Directory.

Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location

Result:
C:\\OriginalApplicationAPI\\bin\\Debug\\netcoreapp2.2

Now we are running an Integration Xunit project, which is running the Startup, appsettings, etc from the original project.

Running this code from the Integration test project renders, 

C:\\Users\\..\\.nuget\\packages\\microsoft.testplatform.testhost\\15.9.0\\lib\\netstandard1.5"

How do I refer to the OriginalApplicationAPI Assembly Location from test project? Is it by namespace or project reference?

Thanks,

You will need to know of a Type that is in the assembly.

Let's say App.MyClass is defined in the assembly. You can use reflection to get the location of the assembly containing that type:

Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(App.MyClass)).Location.

You can't do it using a namespace as a namespace can exist across multiple assemblies.

Or utilize

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location
