NetCore App 2.1.12 produces Case-insensitive *.deps.json file for case sensitive operating systems

[mdjaniga]

I maintain my production build environment within a docker container. This env uses 2.1.12.

Application is named Jobe. Builds from this environment produce a deps.json file with an application target application dll in all lower case, "jobe.dll". The actual DLL is "Jobe.dll". I encounter a runtime error when jobe.dll is not found.

My local environment is env uses 2.1.4. In this env using the same build script produces deps.json file with a properly named target. Subsequently no runtime errors.

2.1.12 jobe.deps.json

@dsplaisted do you know who would be the most appropriate person to look into this?

@mdjaniga Would it be possible for you to share a binary log of the build which is generating the incorrect output? If you can provide a repro project that would also work.
