dotnet publish can't find resource files

[benmccallum]

In a docker container I'm trying to do a dotnet publish on one of my projects, but the build says a resource file that needs to be embedded can't be found. I've confirmed it exists (docker COPY commanding my whole source root and ls -alR says it's there too.

CSC : error CS1566: Error reading resource 'AutoGuru.GraphQL.Queries.ArticleTileQuery.ArticleTileQuery.graphql' -- 'Could not find a part of the path '/src/AutoGuru.GraphQL.Queries/src/ArticleTileQuery/ArticleTileQuery.graphql'.' [/src/AutoGuru.GraphQL.Queries/src/AutoGuru.GraphQL.Queries.csproj

Works with a VS 2019 build, so seems to be an issue with dotnet publish / MSBuild used by dotnet publish in this context.

I've taken a look at #8239 but not sure if it's 100% related.

• This comment in the thread could be exactly what I'm experiencing, but there doesn't appear to be a solution/workaround.
• I am on Linux, so any foldering using backslashes could be an issue, but surely I don't have to changed the .csproj EmbeddedResource references to use fwd slashes? The error seems to report the correct path too, so it'd seem that's handled.

Steps to reproduce

I may need to work up an isolated repro, but basically:

1. Create a library with an embedded resource targeting netstandard2.0
2. Create an app that consumes it
3. Create a docker file based on mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:2.2 that should publish the app

Expected behavior

Publish would complete.

Actual behavior

Publish fails.

Environment data

I'm inside a docker container based on the image:
mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/sdk:2.2

dotnet --info output:

Sorry, turns out the file wasn't there, was in a side-by-side directory tree... Closing.

hi @benmccallum
could you point out where you had issue in path? My paths seems correct but still I have the issue.

Sorry @boris-tarasov-maersk , this was a long time ago! I think the path to the resource file in the csproj was probably wrong. Good luck!
