Summary
Fixed the C# workflow failure caused by NU5017 packaging error: "Cannot create a package that has no dependencies nor content".
Root Cause
The issue was caused by a conflicting MSBuild configuration where:
<DebugType>embedded</DebugType>embeds debug symbols directly into the main assembly<IncludeSymbols>true</IncludeSymbols>and<SymbolPackageFormat>snupkg</SymbolPackageFormat>attempt to create a separate symbol packageSolution
<DebugType>embedded</DebugType>setting to allow proper symbol package generationIncludeSymbolsandSymbolPackageFormat) to maintain debugging supportVerification
✅ Local testing confirms:
dotnet build -c Release- succeedsdotnet test -c Release -f net8- all tests passdotnet pack -c Release --include-symbols- both .nupkg and .snupkg created successfullyThe fix aligns with other successful repositories in the linksplatform organization that use the same symbol packaging configuration without the conflicting DebugType setting.
