[Bug in VS for Mac] Build fails on Visual Studio for Mac

Build fails when using VS for Mac. Use the following solution named: eShopOnContainers-ServicesAndWebApps.sln

Build error: yaml.scanner.ScannerError: while scanning a simple key in “/Development/dotnet/eShopOnContainers/obj/Docker/docker-compose.vs.debug.g.yml”, line 113, column 1 could not find expected ‘:’

That file is auto-generated by VS for Mac… this could be a bug in VS for Mac?

I reported it to the VS Tooling for Docker team and it is being researched.

I tested this on Visual Studio 2019 for Mac release (Version 8.0) and it worked out of the box with the default .sln file. @CESARDELATORRE I will close this issue now. Feel free to reopen if this is still an issue.

Only workaround I can think of is a silly one, which is having 2 .sln files with mostly duplicate projects, one of them without the .dcproj projects.

(BTW, please use 👍on the main issue to indicate you also have it instead of adding a comment. It allows viewers to see a number in front of it, and hopefully prioritize it)
