dotnet dependensee Access to path is denied

Question

I would like to generate dependency graph with dotnet dependensee tool but it gives me error:

Access to the path 'C:\Users\myuser\source\repos\Mysource' is denied.

I get this error for every directory I use it for and started Command Promt as administrator.

The usage of command:

dependensee "C:\Users\myuser\source\repos\Mysource" "C:\Users\myuser\source\repos\Mysource"

Hello I'm the creator of DependenSee

It seems like you've provided an existing folder path as the target file to be written.

Try writing the output to your desktop instead, for example:

dependensee "C:\Users\myuser\source\repos\Mysource" "C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\output.html"

Run DependenSee (no arguments) for all available options or refer to docs on GitHub for more info.
