Based on my understanding of the documentation, I have:\r\n1. Added a '.csproj' file to my UPM that announces the NuGet dependencies that my UPM needs.\r\n2. Made `com.microsoft.msbuildforunity` a dependency of the UPM\r\n\r\nWhen adding the UPM to an existing Unity project the com.microsoft.msbuildforunity integration kicks in, and I see the command-line invoked:\r\n\r\n```\r\n[package location]\\Runtime\u003e C:\\Program Files\\dotnet\\dotnet.exe msbuild [packagename].csproj -restore  -v:minimal -p:NuGetInteractive=true  -t:Build -p:Configuration=Release\r\n```\r\n\r\nBut since the [package location] - for local packages - is outside the scope of the Unity project, then the line:\r\n\r\n```\r\n\u003cImport Project=\"$([MSBuild]::GetPathOfFileAbove(MSBuildForUnity.Common.props))\" Condition=\"Exists('$([MSBuild]::GetPathOfFileAbove(MSBuildForUnity.Common.props))')\" /\u003e\r\n```\r\n\r\nis a no-op, since the condition evaluates to false. There doesn't appear to be a way - given the command-line invoked - to identify the Unity project folder.\r\n\r\nProposal\r\n----------\r\nHave the `com.microsoft.msbuildforunity` Unity scripts pass the [Application.dataPath](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-dataPath.html?_ga=2.105886275.197002183.1602003145-1167911491.1596144871) into the `dotnet msbuild` invocation as an MSBuild property would make the import a lot more clear.\r\n\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/mschofie","@type":"Person","name":"mschofie"},"datePublished":"2020-10-06T22:34:50.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/144/MSBuildForUnity/issues/144"}
