dotnet
RuntimeIdentifier argument not working as expected when using dotnet publish on a solution
Type of issue
Missing information
Description
According to this article, the -r argument in dotnet publish:
Publishes the application for a given runtime. For a list of Runtime Identifiers (RIDs), see the RID catalog. For more information, see .NET application publishing overview. If you use this option, use --self-contained or --no-self-contained also.
However, when running dotnet publish on a solution, the initial build is done ignoring the runtime identifier, so if there's any symbols or conditional behaviour depending on that runtime identifier, they won't be defined/won't work as expected (unless the runtime identifier is also defined in the csproj - while running dotnet publish on the specific project doesn't seem to require this). See https://learn.microsoft.com/es-es/answers/questions/5641840/runtimeidentifier-ignored-in-csproj-(-net-8).
Can the docs be updated to clarify this?
