Azure DevOps CI Restore Failure - The element <#text> beneath element <ItemGroup> is unrecognized.

I've copied the oqtane.framework-dev contents to an azure DevOps git repo and created a .Net Core CI Pipeline to build it. I added a Use .Net Core sdk 5.x step before it.

It fails in the restore step.

D:\a\1\s\Oqtane.Server\wwwroot\Modules\Templates\External\Client[Owner].[Module].Client.csproj(27,3): error MSB4067: The element <#text> beneath element is unrecognized.

• Shouldn't this build OK?
• Is there a document somewhere that describes how to set up a build?

I was able to get past this error by having the build target the server project. Unfortunately, deploying the output from the server project did not produce a working web-app. More research needed here.

The files in Modules\Templates should not be included as part of the build - they contain replaceable tokens and are only intended for scaffolding modules. If you look in the Server project file you will see these files are excluded.
