Repro Steps & Context
Error:
...\Current\bin\NuGet.targets(169,5): error : Sequence contains no matching element [<repo>\dirs.proj]
This happened when accidentally using:
<TargetFramework>net8.0;net472</TargetFramework>This is clearly a user error, but the error message could be more helpful. At the very least it should point to the problematic project instead of the root project for the restore.
I can only get this specific error to repro under certain conditions which I'm not able to fully understand. eg it manifests this way when restoring from the root. When restoring the project directly I helpfully get:
NETSDK1046: The TargetFramework value 'net8.0;net472' is not valid. To multi-target, use the 'TargetFrameworks' property instead.
I would guess it maybe only manifests when a projects depends on the problematic project? Not super sure though.
Attaching a debugger shows that the exception is thrown here:
And the stack in case it's helpful:
I can provide more specific details (specific internal repo and commit) offline if desired.
