  -n|--nuget-package-dir   
  -c|--configuration       Configuration for the project (Possible values: Debug/ Release)
  -tfm|--target-framework  Target Framework to use. (Short folder name of the tfm. eg. net46)

Maybe #1393 ?

[JoeSherwood335]

per #1393, i am using this work around

I have reported issues in the past especially concerning the UI side of the scaffolder, there is no way to track it and get others peoples feedback.

IMHO This place is a much better options - they should pull from here.

Seems to be the same generator problem described in 1384 and 1385. There is a temporary solution (downgrading net core sdk) until this is issue is really fixed.
