Inconsistent path formation when using swaConfigLocation #986

swaConfigLocation doesn't seem to be building the path to the configuration file properly. I have placed both SWA and SWA CLI configuration files on the folder my-folder, and run
swa deploy --config my-folder/swa-cli.config.json
swa-cli.config.json has a deploy section with the property swaConfigLocation.

If I set "swaConfigLocation": "." or "swaConfigLocation": "./" then I get the error ENOENT: no such file or directory because it tries to find the file at <path-to-project>\staticwebapp.config.json instead of <path-to-project>\my-folder\staticwebapp.config.json. That is, it is using the parent folder instead of my-folder. This was not the case in earlier versions of SWA CLI.

If I set "swaConfigLocation": "my-folder" or "swaConfigLocation": "./my-folder" then I get an ENOENT: no such file or directory error because it tries to find the file at <path-to-project>\my-folder\my-folder. On this occasion, swaConfigLocation is appended to my-folder instead of the parent folder (as opposed to what happens in the previous example).

If I set "swaConfigLocation": "staticwebapp.config.json" or "swaConfigLocation": "./staticwebapp.config.json", then the path seems right <path-to-project>\my-folder\staticwebapp.config.json, but I get an ENOTDIR: not a directory error, because it is expecting a folder rather than a file.

So there seem to be an inconsistency regarding the use of the parent vs my-folder directory. I am using Windows 11 and Azure Static Web Apps CLI 2.0.8. In earlier versions of SWA CLI I always used "swaConfigLocation": "." and never had this problem.
Could you please provide some advise?
