It seems to only be a problem on xplat solutions, as they set up a chain of 'clean'-task dependencies, | |
which apparently other solutions don't. | |
This is caused by a missing `;` in one of the msbuild `.targets` files as described here | |
(and is a bug in dotnet core 2.1.3 sdk, and VS 2017 15.8.x): | |
* https://github.com/onovotny/MSBuildSdkExtras/issues/89 | |
which led to | |
* https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/2387 | |
which led to | |
* https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/2388/commits/507a2fdeb08a3c73cd1dac235fee86f625bb63a1 | |
The solution is simply to locate the file (`Microsoft.Net.Sdk.targets`), and add the missing semicolon as shown here: | |
Mine was in the `C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.300\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.Net.Sdk.targets` | |
around Line 95: | |
```xml | |
<PropertyGroup> | |
<CoreCleanDependsOn> | |
_SdkBeforeClean; <--- added semicolon here | |
$(CoreCleanDependsOn) | |
</CoreCleanDependsOn> | |
</PropertyGroup> | |
``` | |
NB: there's a TON of `Microsoft.Net.Sdk.targets` files, so go looking for one(s) that contain `_SdkBeforeClean`. | |
