publish command not copying files to specified output directory

Steps to reproduce

"publishOptions": { "include": [ "**/*.json" ] }

dotnet publish --configuration Release --version-suffix 45 --output ./bin/output

Basically just override the default output directory

Expected behavior

new folders should be created in the specified output directory

Actual behavior

only dlls/pdbs are being copied. No new folders are being created.

Environment data

dotnet --info output: .NET Command Line Tools (1.0.0-preview2-003121)

Product Information: Version: 1.0.0-preview2-003121 Commit SHA-1 hash: 1e9d529bc5

Runtime Environment: OS Name: Mac OS X OS Version: 10.11 OS Platform: Darwin RID: osx.10.11-x64

I am seeing files copied correctly using the default output directory.

I have the same issue when using the image microsoft/aspnetcore-build:1.1.1 and running dotnet publish src/MyProj --output out --configuration Release. Running on ubutnu. Nothing gets copied and no error messages.

EDIT: It works but I was confused by the fact that the output option path is relative to the project path, not the current working dir. Sorry for the noise.

The only hint currently is that the defaults are relative to the project.

dotnet publish -o did not treat relative paths relative to the project but to the current directory in previous versions (migrated from 1.1 preview 2.1)
