Something went wrong with a CPS-to-CPS p2p reference in my IDE:

However, there is no information that can be ascertained from these warning icons. The only warnings i have are:

@natidea mentioned that he saw a bug where the project reference was showing the error but the project wasn't. The analyzer warning issue is #1634 and I think it's because of non-normalized paths being treated incorrectly by the dependencies node.

We should have a rule; if there's a warning/error symbol in the Dependency node - there must to an actionable error/warning in the Error List. I'm seeing warnings everywhere in our tree - and no idea what they mean.

Try the repro from #2261 as well.

It's especially confusing when the warning icon is on the Analyzers node, because that led me to believe the nodes under it represented warnings found in my code.

This is quite a general issue, and a lot of stuff around this has been fixed recently. Without a repro to test against, I can't tell whether this is still happening.

We have some other issues to track the general case covered here. I suspect #5044 is the best fit here. Regarding the lack of information about the error itself we have #4357 and #3780. I'll close this. If someone has a repro that isn't covered by an existing issue, please file a new one.
