Without disabling the Code Analysis (Project Settings > Code Analysis > Run On Build) this error prevents my project from building in Visual Studio.

VS version: 16.3.9 .NET Core SDK: 3.0.100

As you can see my project after upgrading from .net core 2.2 to 3.0 has references to two different versions of Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Analyzers
