wks.location doesen't expand path correctly

[Krausler]

So as the title says I have a project where a lib path doesen't get expanded correctly. Weird thing is other paths. for example includedirs, do get expanded correctly. This is my premake file:

include "Dependencies.lua"

project "Octopus"   
    kind "StaticLib"
    language "C++"
    cppdialect "C++20"
    staticruntime "off"

    targetdir ("%{wks.location}/bin/" .. outputdir .. "/%{prj.name}")
    objdir ("%{wks.location}/bin-int/" .. outputdir .. "/%{prj.name}")

    pchheader "ocpch.h"
    pchsource "src/ocpch.cpp"

    files 
    {
        "src/Octopus/**.h",
        "src/Octopus/**.cpp",
        "src/Octopus.h",
        "src/Platform/Platform.h",
        "src/ocpch.cpp",
        "src/ocpch.h"
    }

    includedirs 
    {
        "%{IncludeDir.Octopus}",
        "%{IncludeDir.spdlog}",
        "%{IncludeDir.GLFW}",
        "%{IncludeDir.VulkanSDK}",
        "%{IncludeDir.glm}",
        "%{IncludeDir.stbimage}",
        "%{IncludeDir.Assimp}",
        "%{IncludeDir.entt}"
    }

    links
    {
        "GLFW",
        "%{Lib.Vulkan}"
    }

    filter "action:clion"
        pchheader "Octopus/Octopus/src/ocpch.h"
        pchsource "Octopus/Octopus/src/ocpch.cpp"

    filter "system:windows"

        links
        {
            "%{Lib.WinSock}",
            "%{Lib.WinMM}",
            "%{Lib.WinVersion}",
            "%{Lib.BCrypt}",
            "Dwmapi.lib"
        }

        files
        {
            "src/Platform/Windows/WindowsInput.cpp",
            "src/Platform/Windows/WindowsUtil.cpp",
            "src/Platform/Windows/WindowsWindow.h",
            "src/Platform/Windows/WindowsWindow.cpp"
        }

    filter "configurations:Debug"
        defines "OC_DEBUG"
        runtime "Debug"
        symbols "on"

        links
        {
            "%{Lib.ShaderC_Debug}",
            "%{Lib.SPIRV_Cross_Debug}",
            "%{Lib.SPIRV_Cross_GLSL_Debug}",
            "%{Lib.Assimp_Debug}"
        }

    filter "configurations:Release"
        defines "OC_RELEASE"
        runtime "Release"
        optimize "Speed"

        links
        {
            "%{Lib.ShaderC_Release}",
            "%{Lib.SPIRV_Cross_Release}",
            "%{Lib.SPIRV_Cross_GLSL_Release}",
            "%{Lib.Assimp_Release}"
        }

    filter "configurations:Dist"
        defines "OC_DIST"
        runtime "Release"
        symbols "off"
        optimize "Speed"

        links
        {
            "%{Lib.ShaderC_Release}",
            "%{Lib.SPIRV_Cross_Release}",
            "%{Lib.SPIRV_Cross_GLSL_Release}",
            "%{Lib.Assimp_Release}"
        }

    filter "configurations:Profile"
        defines "OC_PROFILE"
        runtime "Release"
        optimize "Speed"

        links
        {
            "%{Lib.ShaderC_Release}",
            "%{Lib.SPIRV_Cross_Release}",
            "%{Lib.SPIRV_Cross_GLSL_Release}",
            "%{Lib.Assimp_Release}"
        }

and this is the Dependencies.lua file:

VULKAN_SDK = os.getenv("VULKAN_SDK")
VULKAN_SDK = string.gsub(VULKAN_SDK, "\\", "/")

IncludeDir = {}
IncludeDir["Octopus"] = "%{wks.location}/Octopus/src"
IncludeDir["VulkanSDK"] = "%{VULKAN_SDK}/Include"
IncludeDir["GLFW"] = "%{wks.location}/Octopus/vendor/GLFW/include"
IncludeDir["spdlog"] = "%{wks.location}/Octopus/vendor/spdlog/include"
IncludeDir["glm"] = "%{wks.location}/Octopus/vendor/glm"
IncludeDir["Tracy"] = "%{wks.location}/Octopus/vendor/Tracy/public"
IncludeDir["stbimage"] = "%{wks.location}/Octopus/vendor/stbimage"
IncludeDir["Assimp"] = "%{wks.location}/Octopus/vendor/Assimp"
IncludeDir["entt"] = "%{wks.location}/Octopus/vendor/entt"


LibDir = {}
LibDir["VulkanSDK"] = "%{VULKAN_SDK}/Lib"
LibDir["Assimp"] = "%{wks.location}/Octopus/vendor/Assimp"

Lib = {}
Lib["Vulkan"] = "%{LibDir.VulkanSDK}/vulkan-1.lib"
Lib["VulkanUtils"] = "%{LibDir.VulkanSDK}/VkLayer_utils.lib"

Lib["ShaderC_Debug"] = "%{LibDir.VulkanSDK}/shaderc_sharedd.lib"
Lib["SPIRV_Cross_Debug"] = "%{LibDir.VulkanSDK}/spirv-cross-cored.lib"
Lib["SPIRV_Cross_GLSL_Debug"] = "%{LibDir.VulkanSDK}/spirv-cross-glsld.lib"
Lib["SPIRV_Tools_Debug"] = "%{LibDir.VulkanSDK}/SPIRV-Toolsd.lib"

Lib["ShaderC_Release"] = "%{LibDir.VulkanSDK}/shaderc_shared.lib"
Lib["SPIRV_Cross_Release"] = "%{LibDir.VulkanSDK}/spirv-cross-core.lib"
Lib["SPIRV_Cross_GLSL_Release"] = "%{LibDir.VulkanSDK}/spirv-cross-glsl.lib"

Lib["Assimp_Debug"] = "%{LibDir.Assimp}/assimp-vc143-mtd.lib"
Lib["Assimp_Release"] = "%{LibDir.Assimp}/assimp-vc143-mt.lib"

-- Windows
Lib["WinSock"] = "Ws2_32.lib"
Lib["WinMM"] = "Winmm.lib"
Lib["WinVersion"] = "Version.lib"
Lib["BCrypt"] = "Bcrypt.lib"

Because of some reason when running the vs2022 action I get this library path generated:

Instead I expect a path more like "C:...\Octopus-Dev\Octopus\vendor\Assimp\assimp-vc143-mtd.lib", Octopus beeing the projects name. Does anyone know why this occurs?

Is your project working?

Premake tends to make path relative in project.
What is your project location?
From resulting 'vendor/Assimp/assimp-vc143-mtd.lib', I would expect '%{wks.location}/Octopus'.
If not it seems there is an issue :-/
