Publish more than once

[Apostolique]

If I run publish once, it works:

dotnet publish -r win-x64 -c Release

But if I run the command a second time, the .dll files don't get moved.

It looks like as long as the NetCoreBeauty file that gets generated exists, the .dll files don't get moved.

you are right, once NetCoreBeauty exists, it won't run any more, so the deps.json won't be modified twice and the .dll won't be moved.

[liesauer]

this is designed on purpose. the tool expects that the application should be moved or packed and when you publish the second time, the release dir should be nothing in there or be clean up, so when you cross two big different versions this can prevent some weird bugs. but how ever, this will de improved.

Good to know! I'll try to follow that move or pack workflow for my releases.

fixed in v1.1.8
