One option for fixing the locked file issue in the test

Fixes #33956

Looks good! I saw the issue and suggested that updating the BaseIntermediateOutputPath was the best option, IMO.

[marcpopMSFT]

@MiYanni I tried that originally and while it did change the obj directory, it didn't change the bin directory. I wasn't sure if we'd end up with locking files there as that path would still overlap for each of the 8 builds of this project. Copying to a separate directory was the only way to force that.

@dsplaisted I didn't see any reusable code for copying the project around. We have CopyTestAssets in our code but that's specific to the structure of the SDK rather than arbitrary assets in other locations. Thoughts? Should we consider moving this test asset into the central SDK story and using that common CopyTestAssets instead?

For bin, that would be BaseOutputPath. The Intermediate in the former means intermediary build assets, which is typically the obj folder. I'm sure there is likely a more elegant solution, but I'm fine with the one you've created. 👍

Chatted with Daniel offline and I'm going to try using the SDK test model of copytestassets to see if that works. Making the templating tests more like the SDK tests seems positive.

[marcpopMSFT]

Pushed an update to use CopyTestAsset like the rest of the SDK tests do. Let's see if this works for the template tests (worked locally).
