dotnet build not including .dep files in build output

We are using a nuget package which has it dependencies bundled up as a .dep file, when we run dotnet build, the .dep file is not included in out outputted bin file. (This used to work with dnx)

Steps to reproduce

Create a new netcore project (class library will be fine) set framework to net4xx as this library doesn’t have an option for core yet

SAMPLE Project.json { "version": "1.0.0-*", "dependencies": { "hiqpdf.free": "9.21.0" }, "frameworks": { "net461":{} } } once package restore has completed, run dotnet build

Expected behavior

Expected the packages .dep file to be in the bin

Actual behavior

.dep file is not included in bin

I have also tried to force it using: "buildOptions": { "embed": "**/*.dep" }

Environment data

dotnet --info output: .NET Command Line Tools (1.0.0-preview2-003121)

I know this topic is outdated but I would like to share my solution in order to help someone that was struggling with it.

The project that uses SDK-style need to declare the files to be copied to output folder (bin as default). So, here is the snippet. I set the boolean property GeneratePathProperty to true and I made use of the variable $(Pkghiqpdf) for finding the path baseline. This is composed by the prefix Pkg + package name as it is in Include attribute (replace periods by underscores).

<ItemGroup>
     <PackageReference Include="hiqpdf" Version="10.15.0" GeneratePathProperty="true" />
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="CopyHiqpdfFiles" AfterTargets="Build">
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(Pkghiqpdf)\lib\net40\HiQPdf.dep" DestinationFolder="$(OutDir)" />
    <Copy SourceFiles="$(Pkghiqpdf)\lib\net40\HiQPdf.rda" DestinationFolder="$(OutDir)" />
</Target>
