PublishReferencesDocumentationFiles not working as expected.

[helloitszak]

From what I understand, according to #1062, PublishReferencesDocumentationFiles, which is on by default, should be copying xml documentation files from packages my project references.

However, this is not copying documentation files included in NuGet packages referenced with PackageReference. All I see is the documentation files from the project as well as projects referenced with ProjectReference.

Is this intended behavior?

I'm using a standard dotnet new web application , but I'd be happy to create a reproduction repo if that helps.

It only controls project references, not package references. For packages, it is mentioned in #1458 along with PDB (TL;DR this is missing NuGet support).

👍 thanks for the quick response. I'll follow that issue over there, try back again when that's resolved.
