DotNetCoreCLI publish command doesn't honor project path

See original GitHub issue

Question, Bug, or Feature?
Type: Bug

Enter Task Name: DotNetCoreCLI https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks/tree/master/Tasks/DotNetCoreCLIV2

Environment

Hosted Azure Pipelines, Ubuntu latest pool

Agent name: 'Hosted Agent'
Agent machine name: 'fv-az755'
Current agent version: '2.172.2'
Operating System
Ubuntu
18.04.4
LTS
Virtual Environment
Environment: ubuntu-18.04
Version: 20200726.1
Included Software: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/ubuntu18/20200726.1/images/linux/Ubuntu1804-README.md
Current image version: '20200726.1'
Agent running as: 'vsts'

Issue Description

Running the following task configuration does not honor the projects argument and actually publish the specified project. Instead, it goes to the root directory and publishes other projects.

    - task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
      inputs:
        command: 'publish'
        arguments: '-c Release'
        projects: 'Website/Website.csproj'

When i use this simple script, the publish works as expected. See 2nd log output at the bottom.

    - script: |
        cd Website
        dotnet publish -c Release
      displayName: 'Publish Website package'

Here is the failed log output from the command:

Unless you have locked down a SDK version for your project(s), 3.x SDK might be picked up which might have breaking behavior as compared to previous versions.

2020-07-30T15:54:02.6701373Z If you're using `Publish` command with -o or --Output argument, you will see that the output folder is now being created at root directory rather than Project File's directory.

Thank you @tejasd1990 for your reply, from what I understood you propose to name the projects accordingly to the sequence that they have to be compiled which might work but I think it’s expected when you publish a specific project on azure DevOps to behave just like publishing on Visual Studio or with dotnet command (shown in my previous post) which would publish just the specific project that you selected and not the other projects in the solution, of course, the other projects also have to be compiled if the current project has dependency set on them but not published. Anyway, I’ve managed to get the pipeline working and I’m using the workaround that I presented.

Hi @dtzar @rsegecin , let me know if the workaround unblocks you, the behavior is the expected task functionality and we won’t be changing it. Will close this issue, thanks.
