dnu pack is nesting library folders in nupkg

Question

I have an interesting issue that I'm trying to resolve. The resulting nuget library from running a dnu pack --out <path> command is invalid. The folder structure inside of it is lib\dnx46\dnx46\ when it should be lib\dnx46\. There is that extra dnx46 folder. When I run dnu pack without the --out <path> it works fine as well as building the project with "produce outputs on build" checked. Has any body else seen this problem and know of a fix?

Answer 1

It looks like it was a bug. It was due to the path using forward slashes / and not backslashes \. When I changed my output path to use \ it started working again.
