I'm working on a .NET cli tool. The created nuget package contains a deps.json. This deps.json file contains entries for all referenced nuget packages.After installing the tool dotnet tool install.. I can not run the tool dotnet tool run because an assembly listed in the deps.json file is missing
An assembly specified in the application dependencies manifest (xxxx.deps.json) was not found:package: 'Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents', version: '4.7.0'path: 'runtimes/win/lib/netcoreapp3.0/Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.dll'The package contains a runtimes/win/lib/netcoreapp3.0 folder but not Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.dll
The Problem seems to be the entries in deps.json for GitVersion.MsBuild. Because if I either remove this dependency or delete deps.json the application works as expected.
- Why is a dev dependency
<PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>included in deps.json? - How can i exclude deps.json from package and is this a good idea?
