AspNetCore.App 2.1 not installing latest patch version

[spottedmahn]

I think this might be the same issue as dotnet/source-build#942 but I'm not 100% sure...

I removed the version from package reference as stated in the ASP.NET Core 2.0 to 2.1 upgrade guide but when I look in my project -> dependencies -> NuGet I see Microsoft.AspNetCore.App (2.1.1) and I have the 2.1.603 SDK installed. Shouldn't I be seeing (2.1.10)?

Remove the "Version" attribute on the package reference to Microsoft.AspNetCore.App. Projects which use do not need to set the version. The version will be implied by the target framework and selected to best match the way ASP.NET Core 2.1 works. (See below for more information.)

Workaround

Once I added the version number to the package I got the latest version under my project dependencies

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" Version="2.1.10"/>

Questions

• The version number shouldn't be specified in the package reference, right? I'm not supposed to have to do that, right?
• It's supposed to automatically find that SDK version installed on my machine, right?
• Was that the correct workaround?

Are you still seeing issues with this?

I haven't tried putting in back, I can but what would have changed to fix this?

Just tried w/ VS 2019 Preview (16.2 Preview 4), same behavior. @dseefeld

You should not need to reference this package directly. The SDK noted in your csproj will bring in the appropriate package reference.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

HI @scalablecory - I'm not sure I understand why this was closed 🤔.

It's not 😀.

Should I have a version number my Project tag? Is that what you're saying?
