Cake build DotNet Core error

Question

I'm trying build my solution with dotnet core using cake but I receive it:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.1\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\build\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Common.targets(73,5): error : Project 'xxx.csproj' targets '.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1'. It cannot be referenced by a project that targets '.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0'. [xxx.csproj]

What could be wrong?

If I run dotnet.exe build on cmd, the builds work normally

dotnet build xxx.csproj

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.1.548.43366 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

CouchDB.Driver.Core -> xxx.dll

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

The xxx.csproj version is:

netcoreapp1.1
cake --version

Version 0.19.1+Branch.main.Sha.4c5b4fd5b1c4d9d36066ec78714027e26b211af4
dotnet.exe --version

1.0.1
dotnet.exe

How does your Cake script look? Are you using the MSBuild alias or DotNetCoreBuild one? — devlead

I forgot 2 things. The solution is:

Set correct framework in build.cake:

 var settings = new DotNetCoreBuildSettings
 {
     Framework = "netcoreapp1.1",
     Configuration = "Release",
     OutputDirectory = "./build/"
 };

 DotNetCoreBuild("./src/", settings);

Restore NuGet packages using the DotNetCoreRestore instead nuget.exe

Task("Restore-NuGet-Packages")
.IsDependentOn("Clean")
.Does(() =>    {
     DotNetCoreRestore("src"); // use it instead of NuGetRestore("./folder");
});

The result is:

Build
