How do you get current physical path inside Startup.cs?

How do you get current physical path inside Startup.cs?
I tried so many things and it does not work. On top of that I am experiencing a very very strange behavior.
When I am debugging and type AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory I get the current path.
However I cannot even compile the code as I get this error on run time if I include AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory directly.
The name 'AppDomain' does not exist in the current context

Thanks.

Don't use that API. Use the one provided by the framework. In your Startup.cs you can take IApplicationEnvironment in the Configure method:

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IApplicationEnvironment env)
{
   var path  = env.ApplicationBasePath;
}

The reason you're seeing that AppDomain doesn't exist is because it isn't available on CoreCLR. Your project by default compiles for both frameworks.

Thanks for your response David. Where does IApplicationEnvironment live?

my Configure looks like this, I am using beta3 btw:
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerfactory) and I get this error

Error CS1061 'IHostingEnvironment' does not contain a definition for 'ApplicationBasePath' and no extension method 'ApplicationBasePath' accepting a first argument of type 'IHostingEnvironment' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Thanks.

Close, IApplicaitonEnvironment lives in the Microsoft.Framework.Runtime.Interfaces package (which you already reference transitively)

Thank you.
