`dotnet watch` ignores `StaticWebAssetBasePath` for third-party library

[Apollo3zehn]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the bug

I try to host a Blazor WASM app under the path <host>/dev using the property <StaticWebAssetBasePath>dev</StaticWebAssetBasePath>. My project is also referencing the third-party library MudBlazor and when I do dotnet publish -c Debug -o <path> the output is just fine, i.e. MudBlazor is below the dev/_content folder:

But when I run dotnet watch the files are not located under the dev/_content path but directly under _content ( the target framework is net7.0):

Expected Behavior

I expect that <StaticWebAssetBasePath>dev</StaticWebAssetBasePath> is also applied to third-party libraries when running dotnet watch.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run

   dotnet new blazorwasm 
   dotnet add package MudBlazor

2. Edit the .csproj file and add <StaticWebAssetBasePath>dev</StaticWebAssetBasePath>.

3. Run dotnet publish

4. Have look into the published folder, it looks fine (_content/MudBlazor is located under wwwroot/dev).

5. Run dotnet watch

6. Try to load the file http://localhost:<your-port>/dev/_content/MudBlazor/MudBlazor.min.js: it fails

7. Try to load the file http://localhost:<your-port>/_content/MudBlazor/MudBlazor.min.js: it succeeds

Exceptions (if any)

No response

Did you fix this as it is causing me the same issue in dotNet 8?
