.NET Core - build project specifying ReferencePath

Question

I have a .csproj for the .NetCore platform with classic references. I'm using the hintpath attribute for the development environment. But I should build csproj on the CI-environment where referenced assemblies are placed in the different directory. On the classic net4 I've used the /p:ReferencePath argument for the MSBuild tool. But the "dotnet build" has no similar argument. As a fallback I found the "dotnet msbuild" command but this tool is ignores the /p:ReferencePath=xxx argument and shows me

warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "AssemblyName". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.

Please guide me, what can I check, where dotnet-build/dotnet-msbuild tools are searching the referenced assemblies and how to specify that directory?

Answer 1

Problem is coused by Microsoft.NET.Sdk.props: AssemblySearchPaths has no ReferencePath. Fixed by adding to csproj:

<PropertyGroup>
    <AssemblySearchPaths>
        $(AssemblySearchPaths);
        $(ReferencePath);
    </AssemblySearchPaths>
</PropertyGroup>
