MSBuild fails if assembly being tested references Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation

MSBuild fails if the assembly being tested references Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation. The error is:

/Users/jdoe/.nuget/packages/coverlet.msbuild/2.1.1/build/netstandard2.0/coverlet.msbuild.targets(15,5): error : Failed to resolve assembly: ‘Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation, Version=2.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60’ [/Users/jdoe/src/tmp/coverlet-fails-to-resolve-KeyDerivation/xunit-tests/xunit-tests.csproj]

Steps to Reproduce

Execute from CLI:

mkdir coverlet-fails-to-resolve-KeyDerivation
cd coverlet-fails-to-resolve-KeyDerivation

mkdir classlib
pushd classlib
dotnet new classlib
dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation
popd

mkdir xunit-tests
pushd xunit-tests
dotnet new xunit
dotnet add reference ../classlib/classlib.csproj
dotnet add package coverlet.msbuild

Replace the contents of classlib/Class1.cs with:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cryptography.KeyDerivation;
namespace classlib
{
    public class Class1
    {
        private const KeyDerivationPrf prf = KeyDerivationPrf.HMACSHA512;
    }
}

Execute from CLI (should still be in xunit-tests/ directory):

dotnet test /p:CollectCoverage=true

@MarcoRossignoli I’ll try to get it stripped out enough to be able to demo in a private repo and share it with you.

Close because seem solved, I mean the above issue with reference not found. @tracker1 feel free to open a new issue with new 3.0 case(maybe try with prod release https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.0).
