Adding project to solution results in InvalidOperationException

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

I’m trying to add a project to the Umbraco solution. It gives an exception:

~/programming/Umbraco-CMS> dotnet sln add src/Umbraco.Cms.Persistence.PostgreSQL/Umbraco.Cms.Persistence.PostgreSQL.csproj
Unhandled exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no elements
   at System.Linq.ThrowHelper.ThrowNoElementsException()

--- End of stack trace from previous location ---
   at System.CommandLine.CommandLineBuilderExtensions.<>c__DisplayClass8_0.<<UseExceptionHandler>b__0>d.MoveNext()

The solution file is in the current folder:

~/programming/Umbraco-CMS> ls -la umbraco.sln src/Umbraco.Cms.Persistence.Postgresql/Umbraco.Cms.Persistence.PostgreSQL.csproj
-rw-r--r--  1 daniel  staff    533 Sep 25 07:46 src/Umbraco.Cms.Persistence.Postgresql/Umbraco.Cms.Persistence.PostgreSQL.csproj
-rw-r--r--  1 daniel  staff  23073 Sep 25 07:40 umbraco.sln

Specifying the solution file in the command does not help (same error).

Hi Noah, I just performed these steps:

$ git clone --depth 1 --branch persistence-postgres git@github.com:dlidstrom/Umbraco-CMS.git persistence-postgres
$ cd persistence-postgres
$ echo `git log -n 1 --oneline` # show latest commit (if I work on this in the meantime)
7cb2374da9 prepare for tests
persistence-postgres $ dotnet sln add src/Umbraco.Cms.Persistence.Postgresql/Umbraco.Cms.Persistence.PostgreSQL.csproj

and saw the same output as reported.
