NuGet Warning NU1504
Scenario 1
Duplicate 'PackageReference' items found. Remove the duplicate items or use the Update functionality to ensure a consistent restore behavior. The duplicate 'PackageReference' items are: X 1.0.0, X 2.0.0.
Issue
Sometimes when adding PackageReference
items, you may end up adding an item for a particular package multiple times.
Example:
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="X" Version="1.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>
...
<!-- Somewhere else in the project file, or another MSBuild file-->
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="X" Version="2.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>
This can cause an inconsistent restore behavior.
Solution
Consult the recommendations in the warning message and do one of the following:
- Remove the duplicate items
- Use item
Update
instead of itemInclude
