Add support for <UseArtifactsOutput>true</UseArtifactsOutput>

[nojaf]

Hello,

I've recently updated to the dotnet 8 SDK and I've enabled true.

When running my benchmark dotnet artifacts/bin/Fantomas.Benchmarks/release/Fantomas.Benchmarks.dll:

dotnet artifacts/bin/Fantomas.Benchmarks/release/Fantomas.Benchmarks.dll                                                                                                                                                                                                                  ❮  7s 682ms   

It was unable to find the right dll due to the new layout.
Am I missing some configuration? Or is this a gap and can we add support for this?

Any updates? 👀

It looks like this will be fixed by #2393.

Is there a workaround for v0.13.x?

@viceice The only workaround is to not use <UseArtifactsOutput> property.

You could also try the latest nightly build. https://benchmarkdotnet.org/articles/guides/nuget.html#nightly

EDIT: Seems my issue is caused by <UseCommonOutputDirectory> being true: dotnet/sdk#23342

Sorry but I don't agree with not using <UseArtifactsOutput> being a good work around - if one adds BenchmarkDotNet afterwards one needs to change their whole project just for a workaround.

Sadly disabling it for a single project is also broken:
