c# - dotnet publish with /p:PublishProfile=?

Question

I'm trying to call "dotnet publish" with a specific publish profile pubxml file as documented here :

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/visual-studio-publish-profiles?view=aspnetcore-2.1&tabs=aspnetcore2x

However, everything I try seems to result in the default behaviour, and the /p:PublishProfile part is ignored.

dotnet publish /p:PublishProfile="MyFolderProfile"

Doesn't work, and logs no error, building to the default location under "/obj".

I do note that an intentionally incorrect command has the same result though, eg:

dotnet publish /p:PublishProfile="MyFolderProfile-XXXXX"

What am I doing wrong? - Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I ran into the same issue a while ago. I managed to fix it by instead calling:

dotnet build [projectname] /p:PublishProfile=[PublishProfile]
