$(PaketRootPath) is not set on a fresh dotnet restore
See original GitHub issueDescription
On a fresh restore of a Fable template, the paket restore fails due to an unset path variable.
I initially thought the problem was in (mono’s version of) MSBuild, since apparently $(PaketRootPath) is set as $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory).
However, once I went and manually replaced $(PaketRootPath) with $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory) in Paket.Restore.Targets the problem went away because $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory) was set correctly, so I guess the issue may be on the Paket side?
Repro steps
On Ubuntu 17.04 with the dotnet 2.0 Preview 2 installed, run this:
dotnet new -i Fable.Template.Simple
dotnet new fable -n fsimple
dotnet restore
Expected behavior
The restore process starts (and then hangs due to an unrelated bug 😃 )
Actual behavior
The restore process exits immediately with:
Cannot open assembly '': No such file or directory.
/home/piaste/Projects/fsimple/.paket/Paket.Restore.targets(18,5): error MSB3073: The command "mono --runtime=v4.0.30319 "" restore --project "/home/piaste/Projects/fsimple/src/fsimple.fsproj" --target-framework netstandard1.6" exited with code 2. [/home/piaste/
Projects/fsimple/src/fsimple.fsproj]
The argument which comes up empty after --runtime is $(PaketExePath), which is defined as follows:
<PaketExePath Condition=" '$(PaketExePath)' == '' AND Exists('$(PaketRootPath)paket.exe')">$(PaketRootPath)paket.exe</PaketExePath>
Known workarounds
As mentioned above, manually replacing $(PaketRootPath) with $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory) in Paket.Restore.Targets fixes the problem.

@forki https://github.com/forki I fixed the elmish templates. But perhaps not the fable.Simple
