Can not find compilation library location for package exception when using packed project

I have a small example project where I embed a couple of views like this:

namespace Brics
{
    public static class ServiceCollectionExtensions
    {
        public static void AddBrickPile(this IServiceCollection services) {
            services.Configure<RazorViewEngineOptions>(options =>
            {
                options.FileProviders.Add(new EmbeddedFileProvider(
                    typeof(ServiceCollectionExtensions).GetTypeInfo().Assembly,
                    baseNamespace: "Brics.EmbeddedResources"));
            });
        }
    }    
}

{
  "buildOptions": {
    "embed": {
      "include": ["EmbeddedResources/**"]
    }
  }
}

When the project is packed using dotnet pack I install the NuGet package and use the extension method AddBrickPile, then I get the exception below. The embedded directory does not seem to be available?

@alexvy86

i ran into a similar problem, and was able to fix it by adding this property to my csproj file:

<MvcRazorCompileOnPublish>false</MvcRazorCompileOnPublish>

The problem appears to be specific to MVC when it tries to precompile views.

I am getting this exception when I reference a nuget package that I want to use as an app part. This error happens even if I don’t register the app part!!! Just adding a nuget reference is enough to crash…
