`Publish.proj` does not respect SymbolPublishingExclusionsFile

[dibarbet]

The documentation lists this method for configuring excluded files in symbol packages - https://github.com/dotnet/arcade/blob/main/Documentation/CorePackages/Publishing.md#can-we-exclude-symbols-from-publishing-to-symbols-server which allows a file to be added to specify paths to exclude from the symbol publishing package. This does appear to be respected in PublishToSymbolServer.proj,

Bug

However this file is not respected in Publish.proj - no files are excluded from the packages.

This means I am unable to exclude files from symbol packages whenever Publish.proj gets invoked. This was found in https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/pull/70162 and build https://dev.azure.com/dnceng-public/public/_build/results?buildId=429092&view=logs&j=0f289b55-e51e-537b-a78d-659668d39b05&t=65ecf3f3-6240-545e-af3c-b1c21351fb50

@epananth are you still working on this?

@epananth What's the status with this? It looks like it's stalled. Are you still working on it?

Hi, this becomes a blocker for https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn-tools/pull/1396 Is there any update?

[epananth]

This documentation pertains to publishing with V3, specifically utilizing the publishToSymbolServer.proj. It has never been functional with publish.proj.

That being said, I am trying to re-evaluate if there is a work around you could use.

[epananth]

try passing /p:DotnetPublishUsingPipelines=true in your build command.
