[BUG] Creating new nx-dotnet library does not respect the specified path

[md-owes]

Current Behavior

When i create a new library with the following command

nx g @nx-dotnet/core:lib --name Domain --tags fs --directory apps/FinancialService/src --template jaamdom --language C# --skipSwaggerLib true --pathScheme dotnet --testTemplate none

it creates the project structure under libs folder as specified below

libs/apps/financial-service/src/Domain

Expected Behavior

In earlier versions it used to respect the specified path and does not force a new dotnet library project under libs folder. So, i n earlier version with the same command

nx g @nx-dotnet/core:lib --name Domain --tags fs --directory apps/FinancialService/src --template jaamdom --language C# --skipSwaggerLib true --pathScheme dotnet --testTemplate none

the new project will be created under the following path

apps/financial-service/src/Domain

Additional Information

Not all libraries have to be created under libs folder. nx g @nx-dotnet/core:lib command should respect the directory path specified from the root folder in order to give the user the ability to create libraries in their path of choice

I would say that it is not a bug per se, but this behavior does not align with NX 17 new behavior (started on 16.8.0) on the directory: https://nx.dev/deprecated/as-provided-vs-derived.

nx-dotnet should still implement the new behavior.

In fact, this same "not implemented new behavior" is seen when creating a webapi that generate the swagger and types project, having the following warning, and having the project created at the root instead of the apps or libs directory.

In Nx 18, generating projects will no longer derive the name and root.
Please provide the exact project name and root in the future.
Example: nx g @nx/js:library generated-backend-types --directory generated/backend-types
