Microsoft.Build.NoTargets does not import Directory.Build.targets

[ChristophLindemann]

Failure:

Microsoft.Build.NoTargets does not support Directory.Build.targets. It does however import Directory.Build.props.

Reason:

This is happens because Microsoft.Common.targets is not imported. Microsoft.Common.props is imported.

Fix / Workaround:

You could include Microsoft.Common.targets or you could include the relevant stuff from the common file:

 
 <PropertyGroup>
    <ImportDirectoryBuildTargets Condition="'$(ImportDirectoryBuildTargets)' == ''">true</ImportDirectoryBuildTargets>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(ImportDirectoryBuildTargets)' == 'true' and '$(DirectoryBuildTargetsPath)' == ''">
    <_DirectoryBuildTargetsFile Condition="'$(_DirectoryBuildTargetsFile)' == ''">Directory.Build.targets</_DirectoryBuildTargetsFile>
    <_DirectoryBuildTargetsBasePath Condition="'$(_DirectoryBuildTargetsBasePath)' == ''">$([MSBuild]::GetDirectoryNameOfFileAbove($(MSBuildProjectDirectory), '$(_DirectoryBuildTargetsFile)'))</_DirectoryBuildTargetsBasePath>
    <DirectoryBuildTargetsPath Condition="'$(_DirectoryBuildTargetsBasePath)' != '' and '$(_DirectoryBuildTargetsFile)' != ''">$([System.IO.Path]::Combine('$(_DirectoryBuildTargetsBasePath)', '$(_DirectoryBuildTargetsFile)'))</DirectoryBuildTargetsPath>
  </PropertyGroup>
  
  <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(ImportDirectoryBuildTargets)' == 'true' and exists('$(DirectoryBuildTargetsPath)')">
    <MSBuildAllProjects>$(MSBuildAllProjects);$(DirectoryBuildTargetsPath)</MSBuildAllProjects>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <Import Project="$(DirectoryBuildTargetsPath)" Condition="'$(ImportDirectoryBuildTargets)' == 'true' and exists('$(DirectoryBuildTargetsPath)')"/>
