I have the following project in my solution which I am trying to use to create a NuGet package:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
<GeneratePackageOnBuild>true</GeneratePackageOnBuild>
<PackageId>ExpressionTreeTestObjects</PackageId>
<Authors>Zev Spitz</Authors>
<Company />
<Product>ExpressionTreeTestObjects</Product>
<Description>A set of expression trees, and instances of other types from System.Linq.Expressions, for testing code against a variety of expression trees. The objects are generated by the C# compiler, by the VB.NET compiler, or using the factory methods at System.Linq.Expressions.Expression.</Description>

<IncludeBuildOutput>true</IncludeBuildOutput>
<IncludeReferencedProjects>true</IncludeReferencedProjects>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="..\ExpressionTreeTestObjects.VB\TestObjects.VB.vbproj" />
<ProjectReference Include="..\ExpressionTreeTestObjects\TestObjects.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
Build and pack both seem to work. However, the .nupkg
file doesn't seem to include the referenced DLLs.
How can I troubleshoot this? How can I resolve it?
I think the solution can be found here:
<Target Name="CopyProjectReferencesToPackage" DependsOnTargets="ResolveReferences">
<ItemGroup>
<BuildOutputInPackage Include="@(ReferenceCopyLocalPaths->WithMetadataValue('ReferenceSourceTarget', 'ProjectReference'))" />
</ItemGroup>
</Target>
