Packaging a web application fails silently

See original GitHub issue

The scenario I am falling into requires me to develop plugins for a .NET Core web app. The plugins are standard NuGet packages. Some of the plugins require plenty of web related stuff and thus the plugin project’s SDK is of type Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web. It is also required to use the Web SDK in order to take advantage of Razor related stuff in Visual Studio (highlighting, intellisense, etc). - There was a bug somewhere tracking that issue but I had no luck finding it.

It seems that NuGet packages are not being generated for projects using the Web SDK.

Is this the result expected? If not, are you able to provide a workaround?

Steps to reproduce

Create a web app using .NET Core 2.0 Preview 1 (no further modifications needed to reproduce)
Right click the project and click “Package” or proceed to the folder containing the csproj file and execute command dotnet pack.

Expected behavior

NuGet package generated at .\bin\Debug

Actual behavior

No NuGet packages are generated. The dotnet pack command produces the following output.

C:\Users\Coskun\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\WebApplication1\WebApplication1>dotnet pack

If it helps anyone else, if you have <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="16.6.1" /> (or an equivalent version) anywhere in your .csproj then it’ll also skip generating packages, regardless of whether you have <GeneratePackageOnBuild>true</GeneratePackageOnBuild>
