project.assets.json' doesn't have a target for '.NETStandard,Version=v2.0'

[andriysavin]

I have a .Net Core console app which targets net471, and references a netstandard2.0 library project. I'm trying to publish it to an Azure WebJob using VS Publish command from project context menu, and getting error like this after publish starts:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.402\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(198,5): error NETSDK1005: Assets file 'C:\Code\Temp\TestAzureDeployBug\ClassLibrary\obj\project.assets.json' doesn't have a target for '.NETStandard,Version=v2.0'. Ensure that restore has run and that you have included 'netstandard2.0' in the TargetFrameworks for your project. [C:\Code\Temp\TestAzureDeployBug\ClassLibrary\ClassLibrary.csproj]

If I change target framework to netcoreapp2.1 the error doesn't happen.

NuGet version: 4.6.0
dotnet.exe --version: 2.1.402
VS version (if appropriate): 15.8.5
OS version (i.e. win10 v1607 (14393.321)): win10 1803

Note that I removed publish profile, and you need to create one for you Azure AppService.

if you have a "net core" console app, shouldn't you make it target netcoreapp2.1?

if you make it target net471, then it is, by definition, not a "net core" console app.

Regardless, you should probably not raise this with NuGet, but instead the dotnet sdk repo? right?

@rrelyea I may be using terminology wrongly, but I call it .Net Core because I use .Net Core SDK for building it. It's similar to how ASP.NET Core project template allows you to target either framework and it's still "Core".

Sorry if this is the wrong repo for this issue, I opened it here because I saw another similar issue in this repo: #6710 . I'll follow you suggestion and will create this issue in the SDK repo, thank you.
