Sdk: `dotnet pack` does not include files from the tools folder

[mabead]

Steps to reproduce

• Create a csproj with the following content:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net46</TargetFramework>
        <IsTool>true</IsTool>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

• Create a file named .\tools\Hello.ps1 with the content Write-Host hello.
• Execute the following commands:

dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet pack

• Check the generated nupkg

Expected behavior

The expected nupkg should contain:

• The output assembly
• The content of the tools folder.

Actual behavior

• The nupkg only contains the output folder.

==> How can I include other files in the nuget package?

I found the solution here and here.

Files from the tools folder can be added to the nupkg through this syntax:

    <Content Include="tools\**\*">
      <Pack>true</Pack>
      <PackagePath>tools\</PackagePath>
    </Content>

@JCanlett Sorry but our project has evolved in a way that this was not needed anymore. I there don't have an answer for you.
