The new path is relative to asset path when calling AssetDatabase.RenameAsset(string path, string newPath)

Asset - Database

-

How to reproduce:
1. Open the "repro.zip" project
2. Open the "SampleScene" scene
3. Enter Play Mode
4. Check the console:
- Notice that the new path is added to the existing path.

Actual result: AssetDatabase.RenameAsset tries to rename the asset with new path relative to the current path.
Expected result: AssetDatabase.RenameAsset renames the asset with new path.

Reproducible with: 2020.1.0a14, 2019.3.0b11, 2019.2.13f1, 2018.4.13f1, 2017.4.35f1.

Notes:
- According to https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssetDatabase.RenameAsset.html all paths should be relevant to the project folder.

  1. Resolution Note (2020.1.X):

    AssetDatabase.RenameAsset takes relative path and thats by design. Maybe not the best one but we cannot change the behaviour right now.
    use AssetDatabase.MoveAsset if want to move to absolute path or relative to project folder path.
