[msbuild] Resolve Content and BundleResource items using the main project's location. Fixes 23898. by rolfbjarne · Pull Request #25713 · dotnet/macios

rolfbjarne · 2026-06-17T14:24:39Z

Always compute the LogicalName for Content and BundleResource items relative to the project file (LocalMSBuildProjectFullPath) instead of the defining project file (LocalDefiningProjectFullPath). This fixes the issue where SDKs (like the Razor SDK) that add Content items from a directory far from the project would produce nonsensical paths like '../../../../../src/MyProject/file.png' that get rejected.

Fixes #23898

🤖 Pull request created by Copilot

Add a test that reproduces the issue where Content/BundleResource items defined by an SDK (like the Razor SDK) have their LogicalName computed relative to the SDK directory instead of the project directory, resulting in paths like '../../../../../src/MyProject/file.png' that get rejected. This test currently fails, demonstrating the bug described in #23898. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

…10/11, opt-out for .NET 12+ Add a new MSBuild property ResolveResourceItemsRelativeToProject that controls whether Content and BundleResource items have their LogicalName computed relative to the project file (new behavior) or the defining project file (legacy behavior). - .NET 10 and .NET 11: defaults to false (opt-in) - .NET 12+: defaults to true (opt-out) The property is passed through a new IHasResolveResourceItemsRelativeToProject interface so that GetVirtualProjectPath can check the flag without changing its generic constraints.
