dotnet pack doesn't work for static files and project reference

[stsrki]

Original issue: Megabit/Blazorise#282

I have this project structure

I use dotnet pack to create nuget packages

dotnet pack ../Source/Blazorise/Blazorise.csproj --force -o . -c Release
dotnet pack ../Source/Blazorise.Bootstrap/Blazorise.Bootstrap.csproj --force -o . -c Release

For root project Blazorise everything is generated just fine. But for all other projects that have reference to the Blazorise.csproj contentFiles and static files are not working as expected. As you can see in the following image contentFiles is included in the .nuspec.

When you navigate to that file you see that it is referencing wwwroot in the root project

Also the path goes to my local folder which it should not be there.

---

As a workaround I have fallback to nuget pack and I manually generate nupkg packages based on dotnet pack. To make it work I have removed content and contentFiles from nupkg.

Full code for a workaround can be found on branch fix-nugets

• dotnet-pack.bat is problematic
• pack.bat is used as a workaround

Hi. It looks like this is a question about how to use ASP.NET Core. While we do our best to look through all the issues filed here, to get a faster response we suggest posting your questions to StackOverflow using the asp.net-core-blazor tag.

Hi @mkArtakMSFT

I would like it to be a question but I think it's a bug in dotnet pack. What I try to accomplish is to pack Razor Static Libraries and create nuget packagea. As you can see in the previous example every project is RCL.

The problem is indicated for every project except for root project named Blazorise. Every project in a solution have a reference to Blazorise.

When I run dotnet pack the content and contentFiles are created in nupkg. Now I don't know if they should or should not be created. What I know and what you can see from example is that ContentRoot is pointing to local directory. And on top of that it's pointing to the root csproj.

If I remove those directories from nupkg it all works. Based on all of that I can assume it's a bug. If something can be done to disable that behavior I could not find it in the documentation. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-pack

Also, I have provided a link to my repository so that you guys can reproduce the bug and see it for yourself. I can go and create a minimal project(s) if that is prefered.
