@seanmars I'm having trouble reproducing this; can you share a repro project?

seanmars commented 5 years ago

@rchande Here is my test project https://github.com/seanmars/omnisharp-roslyn-alias-test

@seanmars Thanks, looks like OmniSharp is doing something weird here.

we have a test for this, and the test passes. I had a quick look and in the test setup, the msbuild property resolves differently than when running against the standalone/VS msbuild provider 😱
