@ggirard07 I played with this a little bit and can confirm that the Items you have above aren't showing for me, you can get them to show with:

  <ItemGroup>
    <None Include="../docker-compose.yml">
      <Link>docker-compose.yml</Link>
    </None>
    <None Include="../.dockerignore">
      <Link>.dockerignore</Link>
    </None>
  </ItemGroup>

@NCarlsonMSFT nice, can confirm workaround is working for me too. Out of curiosity, do you know out of hand whether the workaround should for version prior v17.4 too?

[NCarlsonMSFT]

@patverb can you confirm that this is only working in 17.4+?

@ggirard07 @NCarlsonMSFT Looks like I got that fix in for the 17.3 build so it should actually be 17.3+

Since there is a workaround for this, going to close this as lower priority.
