I am trying to build and deploy a .Net 8 Web API using a Github Action that references some other projects in the solution. I am getting the error

“Skipping project
“/src/x.Auth.Application/x.Auth.Application.csproj”
because it was not found.”

Here is my Docker file:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0 AS base
USER app
WORKDIR /app
EXPOSE 80
EXPOSE 443

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 AS build
ARG BUILD_CONFIGURATION=Release
WORKDIR /src
COPY ["x.Auth.Api.csproj", "x.Auth.Api/"]
COPY ./nuget.config ./
RUN dotnet restore "./x.Auth.Api/./x.Auth.Api.csproj" --configfile nuget.config 
WORKDIR "/src/x.Auth.Api"
COPY . .
RUN dotnet build "./x.Auth.Api.csproj" -c $BUILD_CONFIGURATION -o /app/build

FROM build AS publish
ARG BUILD_CONFIGURATION=Release
RUN dotnet publish "./x.Auth.Api.csproj" -c $BUILD_CONFIGURATION -o /app/publish /p:UseAppHost=false

FROM base AS final
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=publish /app/publish .
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "x.Auth.Api.dll"]

I assume I need to also COPY the reference in the Docker file ie.

COPY ["../x.Auth.Application/x.Auth.Application.csproj", "x.Auth.Api/"]

But when the Docker file is processed, it cannot find the x.Auth.Application.csproj. The folder structure is as follows:

> x
   > x.Auth.Application
      > x.Auth.Application.csproj
   > x.Auth.Api
      > x.Auth.Api.csproj
      > DockerFile
