dotnet cli does not embed csdl,msl, or ssdl files

Steps to reproduce

• Add an ADO.NET entity data model to aspnet core project
• Generate a database first model (.edmx)
• Build project using visual studio 2017
• Inspect generated dll (using ILSpy or similar)
• Build project using dotnet build from cli
• Inspect generated dll

Expected behavior

Both Visual Studio and cli should embed csdl, msl, and ssdl files into dll as resources.

Actual behavior

Only Visual Studio embeds these files. When built through cli, files are not embedded and a Metadata exception is thrown when accessing the model.

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

This problem only began when I moved my project from vs2015 to vs2017. I was able to use the cli just fine before.

I believe the remaining work for this is already tracked at https://github.com/aspnet/EntityFramework6/issues/231

We currently don’t have plans to support these tools from the CLI. In this case, the workaround is to use msbuild to build your projects.

Or switch to using EF core.
