No file links created when using File: references in .NET Core projects

[magne]

Description

When using File: references (in paket.references) with .NET Core projects, no file links are added to the .csproj file.

Repro steps

Given the following .Net Core .csproj file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net461</TargetFramework>
        <IsPackable>false</IsPackable>
    </PropertyGroup>
    <Import Project="..\..\.paket\Paket.Restore.targets"/>
</Project>

paket.dependencies:

source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

github MiniProfiler/dotnet:v3 StackExchange.Profiling/Data/ExecuteType.cs
github MiniProfiler/dotnet:v3 StackExchange.Profiling/Data/IDbProfiler.cs

and paket.references:

File:ExecuteType.cs
File:IDbProfiler.cs

When running

paket install

no link is made to the IDbProfile.cs file in the project file.

Expected behavior

I would expect the .csproj file to contain a link to the file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net461</TargetFramework>
        <IsPackable>false</IsPackable>
    </PropertyGroup>
    <ItemGroup>
        <Compile Include="..\..\paket-files\MiniProfiler\dotnet\StackExchange.Profiling\Data\ExecuteType.cs">
            <Paket>True</Paket>
            <Link>paket-files/ExecuteType.cs</Link>
        </Compile>
        <Compile Include="..\..\paket-files\MiniProfiler\dotnet\StackExchange.Profiling\Data\IDbProfiler.cs">
            <Paket>True</Paket>
            <Link>IDbProfiler.cs</Link>
        </Compile>
    </ItemGroup>
    <Import Project="..\.paket\Paket.Restore.targets"/>
</Project>

Actual behavior

The .csproj file does not contain any file links.

Known workarounds

You need to manually add any file links to the .csproj file.

Yes this part is not yet implemented for sdk projects. Thank you for sending a repro

ok the issue is simpler. there is not ItemGroup in the file so it doesn't know where to insert
