I've done some research but not got to the bottom of this yet, however this StackOverflow question seems to be related. I can't get the source code to compile locally because of this error but possibly due to not having the right VS2017 components installed. I've run out of time tonight but wanted to get this logged. Cheers!

same for me what I did is opening the project using visual studio 2017 then install this 2 packages using NuGet

• Microsoft.Net.Compilers v 1.0.0
• Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform v 1.0.0

and the project work on host then build the image again and it works

you can replace packages.config with this content and build image directly

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
  <package id="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi" version="5.2.3" targetFramework="net452" />
  <package id="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client" version="5.2.3" targetFramework="net452" />
  <package id="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core" version="5.2.3" targetFramework="net452" />
  <package id="Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost" version="5.2.3" targetFramework="net452" />
  <package id="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform" version="1.0.0" targetFramework="net452" />
  <package id="Microsoft.Net.Compilers" version="1.0.0" targetFramework="net452" developmentDependency="true" />
  <package id="Newtonsoft.Json" version="6.0.4" targetFramework="net452" />
</packages>
