[TensorRT] Caching to a dedicated ONNX file does not work

[gedoensmax]

Describe the issue

Below command produces an embedded TRT engine at ./test/model_ctx.onnx:

.\onnxruntime_perf_test.exe -I -e tensorrt -r 10 -i "trt_timing_cache_enable|1 trt_engine_cache_enable|1 trt_dump_ep_context_model|1 trt_ep_context_file_path|ltest" model.onnx

With this on the other hand I do not get an embedded ONNX at test_ctx.onnx which is what I would expect.

.\onnxruntime_perf_test.exe -I -e tensorrt -r 10 -i "trt_timing_cache_enable|1 trt_engine_cache_enable|1 trt_dump_ep_context_model|1 trt_ep_context_file_path|ltest_ctx.onnx" model.onnx

@chilo-ms Have you noticed this before ?

That's strange, i can't repro.

It seems there is a typo in the command line argument, ltest_ctx.onnx -> test_ctx.onnx.

Are you checking the folder where onnxruntime_perf_test.exe locates to find the embedded ONNX? I assume it's not disk full.
How about turning on verbose log to see? Or we might need to use debugger to see this line

Ok I see my path definitions were slightly different. If I provide an absolute path as context node it does not work but it also does not error or throw me a warning I searched the full verbose log.
