dotnet pack PackageVersion fails when using short form of /property (/p:PackageVersion)

Steps to reproduce

$ dotnet pack ClassLibrary.csproj /p:PackageVersion=x.y.z

Expected behavior

Should have created a nuget package with the explicit version passed (x.y.z)

ClassLibrary.x.y.z.nupkg

Actual behavior

Microsoft ® Build Engine version 15.1.1012.6693 Copyright © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. MSBUILD : error MSB1008: Only one project can be specified. Switch: p:PackageVersion=x.y.z

However if the msbuild long form of a property is used it works!!

dotnet pack ClassLibrary.csproj /property:PackageVersion=x.y.z <= works fine

Environment data

dotnet --info output: .NET Command Line Tools (1.0.3)

@grajdeanserghei you wrote/pproperty instead of /property, I suggest using -p:PackageVersion=1.2.3

@dasMulli , you’re right, I uploaded wrong screenshot I wanted to upload this one

Indeed it works with -p:PackageVersion=1.2.3 instead of /p:PackageVersion=1.2.3. It works it both git bash and cmd. Probably documentation should use -p: syntax instead.

Anyway, I’ll open a new issue.

Thanks
