Error when running on WebAPI + SPA

[Nordes]

While running on a SPA project (WebAPI + VueJS) i got the following error:

C:\Users\nordes\.nuget\packages\illink.tasks\0.1.5-preview-1841731\build\ILLink.Tasks.targets(451,5): error MSB4044: The "CheckEmbeddedRootDescriptor" task was not given a value for the required parameter "AssemblyPath". 

The log prior to that in verbose are normal msbuild dll creation and all.

Full log:

Publish failed. Set --verbose flag for more info.

Any idea how to fix this?

(It looks a bit like: dotnet/linker#428 )

You are using .NET Core 3.0 preview SDK, which has some problems like one you described. In preview 5, there is already similiar Single File Deployment functionality (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-net-core-3-0-preview-5/).
From path you supplied, I can see that you are building .NET Core 2.2 project.
You can add global.json file to root solution folder with

dotnet new globaljson

This will create global.json file with current project SDK entry, so it will use .NET Core 2.2 SDK instead of 3.0, which should fix that issue. Let me know if it helped
