"Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common (= 4.8.0)" conflicts with other packages using newer versions.

[NinjataWRLD]

Summary
EF Core Design's dependency on Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common (= 4.8.0) causes conflicts with other libraries, which use the newest version (4.11.0). This results in warnings about dependency mismatches:

Detected package version outside of dependency constraint: Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.MSBuild 4.8.0 requires Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common (= 4.8.0) but version Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common 4.11.0 was resolved.

While the app compiles and runs without errors, this could lead to runtime issues in scenarios where EF Core Design or the conflicting library requires specific features or behaviors from their respective versions of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common.

Proposed Solution
Consider updating EF Core Design's dependency constraints to >= 4.8.0 instead of = 4.8.0, or update to a newer version compatible with the latest libraries.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a project with EF Core Design v9.0 and Wolverine 3.3 (or any other library with a dependency on Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common v4.11).
2. Observe the dependency conflict warning during restore or build.

Impact
This restrictive dependency constraint creates avoidable warnings and potential runtime issues in projects integrating multiple libraries.

Thank you for considering this improvement!

As a workaround add a direct dependency on Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.MSBuild 4.11.0 and related packages to your project.

Another option is to suppress the warning by adding this to your project file:

	<PropertyGroup>
	    <NoWarn>$(NoWarn);NU1608;</NoWarn>
	</PropertyGroup>

In case of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.* you really shouldn't ignore this warning. You will get runtime exceptions if you have mismatched versions.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm targeting .NET 9, so here are the packages I had to reference to make the warnings disappear:

  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design" Version="9.0.0">
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
  </PackageReference>
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools" Version="9.0.0">
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
  </PackageReference>

  <!-- ADDED -->

  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common" Version="4.12.0" />
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Workspaces" Version="4.12.0" />
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.Common" Version="4.12.0" />
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Workspaces.MSBuild" Version="4.12.0" />

I have installed updated version of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common and then other packages and no more conflicts

i indeed has a sortalike issue, what i did was explictely added the newer versions, and then my build warning were gone.

We are on .net framework 8
