Proper way to use DocFx in a directory

[MarkStega]

I have the need to generate two different doc sites in the same solution.

I am trying to use the following structure:

\SolutionDirectory
SolutionDirectory.sln
    \Material.Blazor
    Material.Blazor.csproj
        \DocFx
            \articles
        docfx.json
    \Material.Blazor.MD3
    Material.Blazor.MD3.csproj
        \DocFx
            \articles
        docfx.json

What I can not ascertain from the documentation if this is even possible.

I first tried the following for the metadata:

  "metadata": [
    {
      "src": [
        {
          "files": "../Material.Blazor.csproj",
          "filter": "filterConfig.yml"
        }
      ],
      "allowCompilationErrors": true,
      "dest": "api",
      "disableDefaultFilter": false,
      "disableGitFeatures": false,
      "includePrivateMembers": false,
      "namespaceLayout": "flattened",
      "noRestore": false,
      "memberLayout": "samePage"
    }
  ],

This resulted in

No files are found with glob pattern ../Material.Blazor.csproj, excluding <none>, under directory "C:\Solutions\OHI\Material.Blazor\Material.Blazor\DocFx"
warning: NOTE that `../` is currently not supported in glob pattern, please use `../` in `src` option instead.
warning: No .NET API project detected.

So I then attempted to add the src directive:

  "metadata": [
    {
      "src": [
        {
          "files": "Material.Blazor.csproj",
          "src": "../",
          "filter": "filterConfig.yml"
        }
      ],

remainder is the same

The error appears to be identical:

C:\Solutions\OHI\Material.Blazor>docfx Material.Blazor\DocFx\docfx.json --serve
Using .NET Core SDK 7.0.401
No files are found with glob pattern ../Material.Blazor.csproj, excluding <none>, under directory "C:\Solutions\OHI\Material.Blazor\Material.Blazor\DocFx"
warning: NOTE that `../` is currently not supported in glob pattern, please use `../` in `src` option instead.
warning: No .NET API project detected.

So is what I am attempting possible or do I need to move the docfx.json up one level?

@MarkStega Hi, I have the same issue. Did you find a solution?

[MarkStega]

No, I never did. I gave up and split the solution into two separate directories.

  "src": [
    {
      "files": [
        "BookPub/*.csproj",
        "BookPubDB/*.csproj"
      ],
      "src":"../" <- this
    }
  ],

Moving the ../ to a src outside files worked for me.
