Cake build DotNet Core error

Question

I'm trying build my solution with dotnet core using cake but I receive it:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.1\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\build\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Common.targets(73,5): error : Project 'xxx.csproj' targets '.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1'. It cannot be referenced by a project that targets '.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0'. [xxx.csproj]

What could be wrong?

If I run dotnet.exe build on cmd, the builds work normally

• dotnet build xxx.csproj

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.1.548.43366 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

CouchDB.Driver.Core -> xxx.dll

Build succeeded. 0 Warning(s) 0 Error(s)

• The xxx.csproj version is:

  netcoreapp1.1

• cake --version

  Version 0.19.1+Branch.main.Sha.4c5b4fd5b1c4d9d36066ec78714027e26b211af4

• dotnet.exe --version

  1.0.1

• dotnet.exe

  Microsoft .NET Core Shared Framework Host

I forgot 2 things. The solution is:

1. Set correct framework in build.cake:

    var settings = new DotNetCoreBuildSettings
    {
        Framework = "netcoreapp1.1",
        Configuration = "Release",
        OutputDirectory = "./build/"
    };
   
    DotNetCoreBuild("./src/", settings);
   

2. Restore NuGet packages using the DotNetCoreRestore instead nuget.exe

   Task("Restore-NuGet-Packages")
   .IsDependentOn("Clean")
   .Does(() =>    {
        DotNetCoreRestore("src"); // use it instead of NuGetRestore("./folder");
   });
   

The result is:
