Description
Under specific conditions detailed below, dotnet build fails to clean the bin directory of files that make the binary un-runnable. Those files are placed there during a self-contained publish.
Normally this situation does not occur because dotnet build does clear out the build directory, but a specific placement of build.props breaks this behaviour.
Steps to reproduce
Create a build.props file one level above a blank new project:
dotnet new buildprops --use-artifactsmkdir myprojcd myprojdotnet new console
Publish:
dotnet publish -p:SelfContained=True
Build:
dotnet build --configuration Release
Test:
..\artifacts\bin\myproj\release\myproj.exe
You must install or update .NET to run this application.
App: C:\code\repro123\artifacts\bin\myproj\release\myproj.exe
Architecture: x64
Framework: 'Mi
7F67
crosoft.NETCore.App', version '9.0.0' (x64)
.NET location: C:\code\repro123\artifacts\bin\myproj\release\
No frameworks were found.
Additional info
If the build.props are in the same directory as csproj, this problem does not occur.
This problem also occurs when redefining BaseOutputPath and related properties explicitly instead of using ArtifactsPath, and is similarly affected by the relative placement of build.props.
Once in this state, the only fix I see is to manually delete the output dir. dotnet clean doesn't do it. Visual Studio "Clean" doesn't do it. The end result is complete brokenness:
