Hello i am trying to run dotnet -c Release [sourcepath] --output [destination] a project in a .sln that has multiple projects. The file-structure of the solution is like this:

 RootFolder
     -.sln
      Folder1
         - Csproj1
      Folder2
         - Csproj2   //i want to publish this one (lets say ipotetically)

When i am running dotnet publish -c Release [path]/RootFolder/folder1 --output [destination] i keep getting the error:

Error:

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.8.169+g1ccb72aefa for .NET Core
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

MSBUILD : error MSB1008: Only one project can be specified.
Switch: Release

For switch syntax, type "MSBuild /help"

For me it does not happen. Maybe you will show us the csproj files. – baruchiro Jan 15 '19 at 09:26
