NETSDK1073 for .NET Core 2.2 | Builds Fail

See original GitHub issue

Preface

I am reporting this here based on this comment from a (possibly) related issue. _Originally posted by @dsplaisted in https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/11378#issuecomment-539583642_

@robborden Can you open a new issue for the failures you’re encountering? The error message is the same but I don’t believe the root cause is the same as this issue which has been fixed. Thanks!

This is from the dotnet/CLI repo but when you go to create a new issue there the text reads:

PLEASE DO NOT FILE ISSUES IN THIS REPO File them in https://github.com/dotnet/sdk instead.

If this is the wrong location let me know.

Problem Description

I am using Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3.8. I have a solution with these frameworks:

Project1 targets netcoreapp2.2
Project2 targets netstandard2.0
Project3 targets netcoreapp2.2
Project4 targets netcoreapp2.2

When I rebuilt the solution I am now getting an unexpected error from each project:

“The FrameworkReference ‘.NETStandard,Version=v2.0’ was not recognized” The file referenced is Microsoft.NET.Sdk.FrameworkReferenceResolution.Targets on line 236. This points to:

<ResolveTargetingPackAssets FrameworkReferences="@(FrameworkReference)"
                                ResolvedTargetingPacks="@(ResolvedTargetingPack)"
                                RuntimeFrameworks="@(RuntimeFramework)"
                                GenerateErrorForMissingTargetingPacks="$(GenerateErrorForMissingTargetingPacks)">

Trying this with dotnet build produces the same error:

Workaround

Open the project in Visual Studio 2017 and I am able to produce builds without error.

Expected behavior

The project would not report errors and could be built.

Delete all the frameworkReferences from the .nuspec:

    <frameworkReferences>                                                                                                                   
      <group targetFramework=".NETStandard1.2">                                                                                             
        <frameworkReference name=".NETStandard,Version=v1.2" />                                                                             
      </group>                                                                                                                              
      <group targetFramework=".NETStandard1.6">                                                                                             
        <frameworkReference name=".NETStandard,Version=v1.6" />                                                                             
      </group>                                                                                                                              
      <group targetFramework=".NETStandard2.0">                                                                                             
        <frameworkReference name=".NETStandard,Version=v2.0" />                                                                             
      </group>                                                                                                                              
    </frameworkReferences>

If you’ve done this and are still getting the error, make sure to bump the package version so you’re sure you’re not getting an older version, and you can open up the .nupkg in NuGet Package Explorer to ensure that the frameworkReferences aren’t still in the package.

Removed the frameworkReferences, incremented my version, then ran dotnet pack. I upgrade the packages in my solution and it is now functioning. Thank you!

The frameworkReferences were my problem? Really appreciate your help @dsplaisted and @nkolev92
