Visual Studio publish command does generate any output

See dotnet/project-system#2670 (comment)

Right-click publishing from VS still does not work and the pubxml has to be hand-crafted (or just reuse one from a non-sdk project). msbuild /t:Restore,Rebuild /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=FolderProfile.pubxml works fine for file system publish.

Publishing from Visual Studio indeed seems to be still a problem... It might be that we will also need help from the Visual Studio Team for this, so good you created this issue at least as a starting point ;-)

Anyways... I think you can easily work around this for now by publishing with msbuild straight from the commandline. I use something like this for a project I'm working on:

msbuild "path\to\your\solution.sln" /t:rebuild ^
				    /p:Configuration=Release ^
				    /p:DeployOnBuild=True ^
				    /p:DeployDefaultTarget=WebPublish ^
				    /p:WebPublishMethod=FileSystem ^
				    /p:DeleteExistingFiles=True ^
				    /p:publishUrl="path\to\your\output\folder"

but I think you can also supply an existing publishing profile (xml file) as a parameter, if you have one of those...

Thanks for the workaround! Maybe it's worth documenting this behavior in the readme? Anyway, I think the issue can be closed.

@bachratyg @lscorcia I am looking to try and capture information from the issues into documentation.
Documentation?
I'm not sure of the best way to do so yet - but would like to get this information into the documentation, at which point I feel we could happily close the issue.
