Project builds but can't publish

Question

I have an MVC project that for an uknown reason refuses to publish to a local folder in the PC.

The log says the following:

3>------ Publish start         


        

Answer 1

I was able to resolve my issue altogether by removing the NuGet package "Microsoft.Net.Compilers", rather than downgrade to 2.4.0.

(For quite some time, the Publish error would disappear if I simply restarted VS, but eventually that stopped working.)
