Self-contained publish/build error

[bradygaster]

Describe the bug

When I try to do a self-contained build and publish of an app I wish to publish to App Service prior to RC2 being on it, I am seeing errors, and as such am blocked from being able to build a self-contained publish package.

To Reproduce

I have an example repository here: https://github.com/bradygaster/TodoApp

It contains two projects in one VS solution. It also contains a setup.ps1 file you can run to see the issue. One of the projects will build and publish just fine, the second will build but when the publish command runs this error is visible:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\6.0.100-rc.2.21501.4\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.RuntimeIdentifierInference.targets(150,5): error NETSDK1031: It is not supported to build or publish a self-contained application without specifying a RuntimeIdentifier. You must either specify a RuntimeIdentifier or set SelfContained to false. [C:\Users\brady\source\TodoApp\TodoApp.API\TodoApp.API.csproj]

Further technical details

My dotnet-version is:

❯ dotnet --version
6.0.100-rc.2.21501.4

And dotnet --info is:

@richlander asked me to file this when I showed him the issue, and that I cc @sfoslund in the issue. Thanks to the team for your hard work!

Dupe of #21560? Do we just need to wait until tomorrow's build @sfoslund?

No, this is a different error (NETSDK1031, not NETSDK1179).

@bradygaster, do you see this error with previous versions of the SDK or is it just with RC2? It looks like one of the project references is failing to build because it does not have a runtime identifier specified. @dsplaisted do we expect that a RID will be passed to all referenced projects when published?

[dsplaisted]

I think what's happening is we prevent the RuntimeIdentifier property from flowing to project references, but we don't stop the SelfContained property from flowing, so in this case when it tries to build the referenced project it fails because SelfContained is specified but RuntimeIdentifier isn't.

Probably we should stop SelfContained from flowing the same way we stop RuntimeIdentifier.

@bradygaster Is this the line that is producing the error? https://github.com/bradygaster/TodoApp/blob/0decfd788b9952633c24afc17e2f3fe978fc1ca7/setup.ps1#L23

As an aside, this command can now be simplified, from:

dotnet publish TodoApp.API\TodoApp.API.csproj --self-contained -r win-x86 -o publish\api

to

dotnet publish TodoApp.API\TodoApp.API.csproj --sc -a x86 -o publish\api

Note: this assumes the command is always run on Windows.

Probably we should stop SelfContained from flowing the same way we stop RuntimeIdentifier.

Sounds reasonable to me.
