DeployTestDependencies in project system solution is always unresolved for projects referencing it

[abpiskunov]

DeployTestDependencies has weird project file which does not have SDK , but imports ProducesNoOutput.Settings.targets . This results in several things:

• DeployTestDependencies does not receive any evaluation or designtime builds for its References,ProjectReference etc . That is expected since i don't see any Managed.DesignTime.targets imprted there (they usually brought by SDK). This is potentially a problem for the future , when we would need support projects that don't rely on core sdk.
• Other projects referencing DeployTestDependencies receive only evaluation (which means project is unresolved for them), but no DesignTime events with resolved project path. This is i am not sure why .. even though DeployTestDependencies does not have sdk etc , why resolution logic for other projects cannot find it? This seems like a bug we need to fix now...?

No the DesignTime.targets are brought in by CSharp.targets and not the SDK. Also ProduceNoOutput.Settings.targets internally imports the SDK. I just ran msbuild /pp on that project and it does import the SDK props\targets

Why me? :) It is not dependencies node - i don't receive any events as i described above, could be sdk or something else , since this project has special settings ...
