Path.Combine to folder behind

Why this is not working?

var root = Path.Combine("/../","/../", builder.Environment.ContentRootPath);
var sharedSettings = Path.Combine(root, "appsettings.json");

var root = Path.Combine("/../","/../", builder.Environment.ContentRootPath);
var sharedSettings = Path.Combine(root, "appsettings.json");

Expected output: /home/gumbarros/Projects/jjmasterdata/appsettings.json

"/../" can't be a valid starting path You probably want Path.Join(builder.Environment.ContentRootPath, "..", "..");

Path.Combine does weird stuff when one of the parts starts with / as well, that's why we now have Path.Join. But use ".." either way, as @Ero did

Path.Join is .NET7 tho iirc
