I have a console application which has project reference of a web application.

This is how the project reference is added in the csproj file of the console application

<ItemGroup>
  <ProjectReference Include="..\..\EMP.Web\EMP.Web.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>

I am trying to publish the console application with these settings

Publish settings

But it is giving me this error

Metadata file 'C:\Projects\EMP\EMP.Web\obj\Release\net7.0\win-x64\ref\EMP.Web.dll' could not be found

What I have found out is that it does generate EMP.Web.dll inside obj path, it is just that it is not getting generated under win-x64 folder, so basically this is the path where the web dll is generating

C:\Projects\EMP\EMP.Web\obj\Release\net7.0\ref\EMP.Web.dll

But it is trying to find it under win-x64 folder.

Is there any setting that I can do to have it find the web dll under the folder where it is actually generating?

    There is a space after EMP, is it a part of the folder name? Commented Apr 15 at 8:20
  • @shingo No, entered due to the text pasting. No space in the name of the folder Commented Apr 15 at 9:25
  • Oh, you revised an unexpected position, I actually meant the space in the error message, is that also due to the text pasting? Commented Apr 15 at 9:54
  • @shingo - Oops! That was also just the text pasting miss. Corrected it now Commented Apr 15 at 13:14
