CPM and PackageDownload and NU1505

[lonix1]

(From my original comment in this thread.)

I'm using 6.0.400 (i.e. latest). I'm using "Central Package Management".

Repro:

MyProject/Directory.Packages.props:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageDownload Include="minver-cli" Version="[4.1.0]" />
</ItemGroup>

MyProject/MyProject.csproj:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageDownload Include="minver-cli" />
</ItemGroup>

dotnet build:

/home/username/code/MyProject/MyProject.csproj : warning NU1505: Duplicate 'PackageDownload' items found. Remove the duplicate items or use the Update functionality to ensure a consistent restore behavior. The duplicate 'PackageDownload' items are: minver-cli [4.1.0], minver-cli .

Someone commented that this is not how CPM is supposed to work. There's no much info on CPM as it's still new. It works for me for the normal case with PackageReference.

Does CPM work with PackageDownload as well? If yes, how do I fix my syntax? Thanks.

Central Package Mangement does not currently work with PackageDownload. You can get the similar behavior of PackageDownload with the following:

MyProject.csproj

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="minver-cli" IncludeAssets="None" />
</ItemGroup>

Directory.Packages.props:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageVersion Include="minver-cli" Version="4.1.0" />
</ItemGroup>
