npx nx g @nx-dotnet/core:application -d services/apps/DevApiGateway does not put the project in the correct directory

[jefedeltodos]

Current Behavior

1. Executing the command:

npx nx g @nx-dotnet/core:application -d services/apps/DevApiGateway --solutionFile App.sln --language C# --template web --tags app --dry-run

2. Note the location of the generated files:

Executing Command: dotnet "new" "web" "--language" "C#" "--name" "App.Services.Apps.DevApiGateway" "--output" "apps/services/apps/DevApiGateway" "--dry-run"
File actions would have been taken:
  Create: apps/services/apps/DevApiGateway/App.Services.Apps.DevApiGateway.csproj
  Create: apps/services/apps/DevApiGateway/Program.cs
  Create: apps/services/apps/DevApiGateway/Properties/launchSettings.json
  Create: apps/services/apps/DevApiGateway/appsettings.Development.json
  Create: apps/services/apps/DevApiGateway/appsettings.json

Note the added apps/ prefix

Expected Behavior

The directory passed to --directory would be honored for the @nx-dotnet/core:application generator in the same way it is honored for the @nx-dotnet/core:library

I would expect the following output:

Executing Command: dotnet "new" "web" "--language" "C#" "--name" "App.Services.Apps.DevApiGateway" "--output" "services/apps/DevApiGateway" "--dry-run"
File actions would have been taken:
  Create: services/apps/DevApiGateway/App.Services.Apps.DevApiGateway.csproj
  Create: services/apps/DevApiGateway/Program.cs
  Create: services/apps/DevApiGateway/Properties/launchSettings.json
  Create: services/apps/DevApiGateway/appsettings.Development.json
  Create: services/apps/DevApiGateway/appsettings.json

Note the absence of the apps/ directory prefix

Additional Information

I think if an explicit directory is specified the full directory should be used and the apps/ prefix should not be included.
