[timheuer]

Describe the bug
WHen performing azd up on the csharp cosmos sql template it fails with:

2023/01/19 13:55:26 command_runner.go:79: Run exec: 'dotnet publish D:\source\repos\todo-csharp\src\api -c Release --output C:\Users\timheuer\AppData\Local\Temp\azd3394537926'
  (✓) Done: Deploying service api

ERROR: deploying service: packaging service api: dotnet publish on project 'D:\source\repos\todo-csharp\src\api' failed: exit code: 1, stdout: MSBuild version 17.5.0-preview-22620-02+a6f6699d1 for .NET

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\7.0.200-preview.22628.1\Current\SolutionFile\ImportAfter\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Solution.targets(36,5): error NETSDK1194: The "--output" option isn't supported when building a solution. [D:\source\repos\todo-csharp\src\api\Todo.Api.sln]
, stderr: : exit status 1

This is calling dotnet publish on a directory that has both a SLN and csproj and will give preference to SLN if a proj is not specified. --output isn't supported there.

@rajeshkamal5050 could you have a look?

[rajeshkamal5050]

@hemarina can you triage this and please do check with @timheuer on his setup/dependencies?

[hemarina]

todo-csharp-cosmos-sql template in the main branch is working well. I think this error is caused by a breaking change on publish command from the dotnet SDK side where it doesn't support using --output when read slu file.

Related issue on dotnet sdk - Error, warn, or fix behavior when specifying output path when building a solution

@timheuer Could you check if this works with previous versions of dotnet runtime/sdk?

[timheuer]

Correct: dotnet/sdk#15607 -- will azd be updated for templates to point to the proj file?

[rajeshkamal5050]

Yes, we should be updating templates. Provided the recommended fix is backward compatible and works with previous dotnet runtime/sdks.

[baronfel]

I can confirm that explicitly specifying the project file (not just the containing directory) works in previous dotnet SDKs.

[rajeshkamal5050]

@hemarina we should probably get this fixed definitely for our Apr release.

[rajeshkamal5050]

Marking this as blocker for 0.8 April 5th release. If not needed, please clarify and remove blocker.
