Hello @StefH. Thank for reporting this issue. The odata-cli tool doesn't work with relative paths (including those with upward traversal) for now. Please use absolute paths, e.g. C:\Users\StefH\Projects\MyProj\resources\edmx\current.xml or file:///C:/Users/StefH/Projects/MyProj/resources/edmx/current.xml

As workaround I use this into my csproj:
"file:///$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)/../../some/path/metadata.xml"
With xml escape: "file:///$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)/../../some/path/metadata.xml"
