AzDO DotNetCoreCLI@2 task fails during pack

[khamza85]

We installed MSBuild version 17.3.0+92e077650 in our build agent. Then this AzDO task started failing

steps:
- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'dotnet pack'
  inputs:
    command: pack
    packagesToPack: MySolution.sln
    buildProperties: 'PackageVersion=$(PkgVersion)'

Here is what the AzDO task generates:

D:\VSTSAgentsWork\01\_tool\dotnet\dotnet.exe pack D:\VSTSAgentsWork\01\786\s\MySolution.sln --output D:\VSTSAgentsWork\01\786\a /p:Configuration=Release;PackageVersion=3.0.145385-beta --verbosity Normal

and this is the error we get

error MSB4126: The specified solution configuration "Release;PackageVersion=3.0.145385-beta|Any CPU" is invalid. Please specify a valid solution configuration using the Configuration and Platform properties (e.g. MSBuild.exe Solution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU") or leave those properties blank to use the default solution configuration.

This however used to work with MSBuild version 17.2.0+41abc5629.

The only workaround is to use a custom command for DotNetCoreCLI@2 task:

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  displayName: 'dotnet custom'
  inputs:
    command: custom
    projects: MySolution.sln
    custom: pack
    arguments: '-c $(BuildConfiguration) -p:PackageVersion=$(PkgVersion)-beta -v Normal -o $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'

This is a bug in the SDK, not MSBuild: dotnet/sdk#27059
