Why Path.GetFullPath returns the address with extra "bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.0"?

I have a file on mac which is at /Users/Bsh/Desktop/myProgram/myFile.txt when I use this address instead of Path.GetFullPath("myFile.txt") in the C# program, the file is found by the program but when I use Path.GetFullPath("myFile.txt") the program does not find the file. To find out what Path.GetFullPath returns, I used Console.WriteLine(Path.GetFullPath("myFile.txt")); and the output was /Users/Bsh/Desktop/myProgram/bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.0/myFile.txt.

Why is there an extra part: bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.0? And how to resolve the issue?

Thanks.

The first step you should take when a library method is not working as expected, is Read The Documentation.

In particular, you should be paying special attention to this part:

This method uses the current directory and current volume information to fully qualify path. If you specify a file name only in path, GetFullPath returns the fully qualified path of the current directory.

The answer to your question seems rather obvious.
