Repro of console project failing to run if reference project has TargetPathWithTargetPlatformMoniker

Steps

  1. Run dotnet run --project .\Console\Console.csproj - OK, ClassLib1.Class1 printed
  2. Run dotnet run --project .\Console\Console.csproj /p:DirectReference=true - FAIL, exception thrown
  3. Run dotnet run --project .\Console\Console.csproj /p:DisableTransitiveProjectReferences=true - FAIL, exception thrown

Observe the failure

  1. Comment out line 12 in ClassLib2.csproj, which is: <GetTargetPathDependsOn>$(GetTargetPathDependsOn);GetDependencyTargetPaths</GetTargetPathDependsOn>
  2. Repeat the steps
  3. Observe no failure

Another observation

Current project references are as follows

  1. Console -> ClassLib1
  2. Console -> ClassLib2
  3. ClassLib2 -> ClassLib1

Console project just prints typeof(ClassLib1).Name.

Turns out - removing reference from Console to ClassLib1 also fixes the issue. Meaning ClassLib1 can ONLY be used as a transient reference in this setup, NOT as direct reference. Also, enabling DisableTransitiveProjectReferences brings the issue back
