[dotnet build] Can't replace MVC packages with sources

Steps to reproduce

Part of this verification task: aspnet/Release#10

Steps:

1. Create web app project
2. Clone https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc
3. Add path to Mvc\src to global.json
4. Restore (right-click project in Solution Explorer and click “Restore packages”) so VS sees new source refs (related: dotnet/sdk#4596)
5. Build

Expected: my app should compile fine and I should be able to run it.

Expected behavior

Find binaries in correct place.

Actual behavior

It’s looking for MVC binaries in the wrong places.

I am a bit surprised why that matters and why you don’t “just try to do it”… I tried this repro steps as they were assigned to a bug for my team and was able to repro it within 5 mins, but extra questions in this issue postponed investigation for 1 extra day already. I am not trying to be a “smart ass”, but really it is just a pattern I noticed for some cli issues… Below is my global.json and as you would see that you could just do same thing without me yesterday, there not many choices how to specify folder and it does not matter for actual problem in this issue …

Here is my global.json:

{ “projects”: [ “src”, “test”, “D:\git\ms\aspnet\Mvc\src” ] }

I’m having this same problem now. I used to do this app the time with my rc1 aspnet app. Getting same errors as @abpiskunov now with RC2.

Anyone have a workaround?
