dotnet build /p:ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true doesn't work

(I hope this is the correct place to raise this question/issue. apologies if it isn’t)

Issue

Trying to building a class library on a CI/CD server that is deterministic using the ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true property argument on the cli doesn’t seem to actually do this?

Assumption:

• dotnet build should allow this msbuild property
• I can build/confirm this on my localhost development machine for testing, before it is ‘pushed up’ to a CI server.

Steps to repo.

- mkdir deterministic-nuget
- cd deterministic-nuget
- dotnet new classlib
- dotnet build -c RELEASE /p:ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true -p:version=1.2.3-pre.1
- dotnet pack -c RELEASE --no-build -p:packageVersion=1.2.3-pre.1 -o C:\temp\nuget-testing\

now goto C:\temp\nuget-testing and double click on the .nupkg file that is there. NuGet Package Explorer opens up and this is what it looks like:

I’m not sure if this is an issue with NuGet or dotnet build CLI or NGPE?

I noticed that paths were getting ‘normalized’ when I build a project with Microsoft.SourceLink.GitLab package installed and as soon as I uninstalled SourceLink, ContinuousIntegrationBuild=true has no effect. Didn’t have time to attempt debugging.

I’ve just hit this too on https://github.com/DamianEdwards/MinimalValidation. I haven’t been able to workaround it by being explicit when calling dotnet pack either.
