Wrong files path for StaticFileServer and views for render (Swift 5.1 Xcode 11.2.x and macOS 10.15.x)

[MadGeorge]

When I build my Kitura project without any updates

.package(url: "https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura.git", .upToNextMinor(from: "2.7.0"))
.package(url: "https://github.com/IBM-Swift/Kitura-StencilTemplateEngine", from: "1.11.1")

on my new Mac (macOS 10.15.1, Xcode 11.2.1 Swift 5.1), project builds and runs fine, but local path location does not work. Engine can not load any stencil template or serve static files.

When i trigger something like try resp.render("index.stencil", context: ["title": "title"]) response is

The operation couldn’t be completed. (KituraStencil.StencilTemplateEngineError error 1.)

Not any .css or .js files loaded in static html files rendered via resp.send(html) from static files directory.

I set breakpoint at
fileServer.serveFile(filePath, requestPath: requestPath, queryString: queryString, response: response)
in sample project (Kitura/StaticFileServer.swift) and got filePath equals to
/Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Kitura-Sample-master-dpowtcfjwuvoqafwzhnollapcnid/SourcePackages/checkouts/Kitura/./public/test.html which looks like an issue. Default path in StaticFileServer.init is "./public" and it leads to unexpected location under Kitura dir in DerivedData/blablabla/checkouts.

It looks like entire path location system broken when Kitura build under Swift 5.1 Xcode 11.2.x and macOS 10.15.x.

I think Kitura-StencilTemplateEngine issue 48 have same issue.

We need solution in short time. I have two project in production powered by Kitura which needs to be supported.
