.NET 4.7 xunit test project fails to build when referencing a .NET Standard 1.6 project

So I have a simple solution with 2x projects:

enter image description here

Now when I try and build (in VS2017) locally, all is ok.

When I build on Visual Studio Online/Team Services, I get heaps of errors:-

[command]"C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" build d:\a\1\s\src\Hornet.Services\Hornet.Services.csproj -c release /p:Version=1.0.0
Microsoft(R) Build Engine version 15.1.1012.6693
Copyright(C) Microsoft Corporation.All rights reserved.

Hornet.Services -> d:\a\1\s\src\Hornet.Services\bin\release\netstandard1.6\Hornet.Services.dll

Build succeeded.
    0 Warning(s)
    0 Error(s)

/\___ Works! (Not the NS1.6 version)

next project to build in the same solution ...

I believe I found my answer -> I was trying to do the following steps all targeting .NET CORE :

  1. Restore
  2. Build
  3. Test
  4. Pack

but these are all .NET Core steps .. and the test project is a .NET 4.7 project.

So I didn't build the test project ... which was why it was erroring! Damn it.

Much embarrassment.

So the TL;DR; / Takeaway here is to double check the VSTS Build Steps and make sure they are targeting the correct items.
