@AndriySvyryd can you share your project.json? I assume you have the runtimes node in it?

[AndriySvyryd]

Sure

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "buildOptions": {
    "emitEntryPoint": true
  },

  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
      "version": "1.0.0"
    }
  },

  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {}
  },

  "runtimes": {
    "win7-x86": {},
    "win7-x64": {}
  }
}

@AndriySvyryd thanks, that looks good. What about if you run them one after another, that is, if you run them with one -r per invocation? Does it all work then?

[AndriySvyryd]

@blackdwarf Yes, it works fine one-by-one

@blackdwarf I'm going to put this in the backlog or the moment. multi-rid behaviors don't exist in the product to date. If we decide to pursue that, we'll need to take a wholesale look across the verbs.

Now, is this enhancement available? I strongly advise we to implement this feature, thank you !!! :)

[dasMulli]

as temporary solution, I've created custom targets that allow doing this in one invocation: https://gist.github.com/dasMulli/b14026437468ce4b56ef93e010f24a36 (drop the file in your project / solution directory or add the contents to the project).

Can be used by calling dotnet msbuild /m /t:PublishAll /p:Configuration=Release

[VAllens]

@dasMulli Oh !!! It‘s works, thank you. :) I saw your post on stackoverflow before. I implemented the publish using the bash script. Publish.sh

[kuskmen]

Do we have any progress in this? It seems a bit cumbersome to publish each time for different RID?

Thanks, YV

[livarcocc]

No progress and it is currently in our backlog, which means we will not get to it by our next release. Please try @dasMulli 's workaround.

Bit sad that 3 years later this still isn't something that can be done easily from the command-line....

[mot256]

Well... add another 3 years...

What a pity. I'd like to have the possibility to build for multiple platforms at once. For now, running with a single -r one by one results in dotnet restore and dotnet build for each platform. Would be way better to have this process optimized somehow. Even when I call dotnet restore and then dotnet publish --no-restore -r <rid> it ends with an error.
