Dotnet build issue with system database reference.

• SqlPackage or DacFx Version:0.1.3-preview
• .NET Framework (Windows-only) or .NET Core:.NET Core
• Environment (local platform and source/target platforms): Windows

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new database project in Visual Studio
2. Follow instructions in this blog to get build working with dotnet build. https://erikej.github.io/ssdt/dotnet/2022/03/07/ssdt-dacpac-netcore.html
3. Build should work at this point. dotnet build /p:NetCoreBuild=true
4. Add a reference to the “master” system database in Visual Studio. This creates the following XML:

<ItemGroup>
    <ArtifactReference Include="$(DacPacRootPath)\Extensions\Microsoft\SQLDB\Extensions\SqlServer\130\SqlSchemas\master.dacpac">
      <HintPath>$(DacPacRootPath)\Extensions\Microsoft\SQLDB\Extensions\SqlServer\130\SqlSchemas\master.dacpac</HintPath>
      <SuppressMissingDependenciesErrors>False</SuppressMissingDependenciesErrors>
      <DatabaseVariableLiteralValue>master</DatabaseVariableLiteralValue>
    </ArtifactReference>
  </ItemGroup>

1. Build will now fail. dotnet build /p:NetCoreBuild=true

C:\Users\user1\.nuget\packages\microsoft.build.sql\0.1.3-preview\tools\netstandard2.1\Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets(525,5): Build error SQL72027: File “C:\Users\user1\.nuget\packages\microsoft.build.sql\0.1.3-preview\tools\netstandard2.1\Extensions\Microsoft\SQLDB\Extensions\SqlServer\130\SqlSchemas\master.dacpac” does not exist. [c:\Git\TrimbleOSS\dba-dash\Database1\Database1.sqlproj]

Did this occur in prior versions? If not - which version(s) did it work in?

Not applicable to prior version

@kisantia Kim Santiago FTE Do you get the good table designer experience in ADS? Do you get model validation with Intellisense in ADS?

@ErikEJ to be clear, this wasn’t to suggest that Visual won’t get support for the SDK-style project file, but currently an optional workaround is to use Azure Data Studio insiders (or the command line option shared above).

We just released 3 system dacpac Nuget packages that can be referenced via PackageReference from projects built with Microsoft.Build.Sql 0.1.9-preview and up. Example:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.SqlServer.Dacpacs" Version="160.0.0" />

Available packages are:

• Microsoft.SqlServer.Dacpacs (versions 100.0.0 - 160.0.0)
• Microsoft.SqlServer.Dacpacs.Azure
• Microsoft.SqlServer.Dacpacs.Synapse
