dotnet publish with relative path not respecting PublishOptions Include

Steps to reproduce

In an asp.net project add directories into the PublishOptions Include setting in the project.json. e.g. "publishOptions": { "include": [ "wwwroot", "app", "Views", "appsettings.json", "web.config" ] },

Then publish using donet CLI. e.g. dotnet publish --framework net46 --output "..\..\..\someRelativeDir" --configuration Debug

Expected behavior

The includes folders are copied across to the publish directory. The expected output is the same as running the command with a full path. e.g. dotnet publish --framework net46 --output "c:\temp\myFullPathDir" --configuration Debug

Actual behavior

The directories specified in the publishOptions includes are not copied.

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

I have another reproduction scenario.

This does not work (wwwroot is not included): dotnet publish -c Release -o .\.out But this works: dotnet publish -c Release -o .out

Yep, MSBuild has a much stronger globbing functionality. I’m unable to repro this in preview3. Please re-open if you still see this.
