Fast up-to-date check with SDK project doesn't see new embedded resources

Visual Studio Version: 16.3.7

Summary:

I have set up a SDK-style .csproj to default all .sql files to be embedded resources. If I add a new .sql file via the file system (touch on the command line, context menu -> new file in Windows Explorer) or via File->New in Visual Studio, the new file will not be embedded as VS thinks the project is up to date.

Steps to Reproduce:

I have a repository with a minimal reproduction and more detail https://github.com/hyrmn/ReproGlobsNotEmbedding

1. Create a C# console project with the SDK-style project file (.NET Full Framework or Core)

2. Add two file globs for SQL files

    <ItemGroup>
        <None Remove="**\*.sql" />
        <EmbeddedResource Include="**\*.sql" />
    </ItemGroup>

1. Build the project a few times. You should see “1 up-to-date” in the build output window

2. Add a .sql file. It can be empty.

3. Compile the project again

4. Use ILSpy to check the file manifest for the file from step 4

Expected Behavior:

The file should be listed under Resources when viewed in ILSpy, DotPeek or another tool.

Actual Behavior:

The file is not listed.

Oddly, the file is correctly picked up if it’s added as part of a git pull from a remote repository.

User Impact:

Application runs do not included embedded resource changes. Also, my outlook is 3% gloomier than it otherwise would be. I would be 8% happier if this worked correctly (the delta is because I’d know that reporting this issue and repro steps helped in getting it fixed and that would make me feel nice)
