Okay so the issue is that transitive dependencies do not work. If Project A references Project B, then Project A must (at the moment) directly reference the projects referenced in Project B.

For example: if A references B and B references C, to get rid of this error A must reference B and C directly.

This issue is marked closed but I’m seeing it with the released VS 2017, how do I fix it? I tried adding all the references to my .NET Core project still no luck
