This issue is similar to #677.

The $(SolutionDir) variable will not be resolved when using post build event and dotnet cli.
It works using VS2017.

<Target Name="PostBuild" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
    <Exec Command="xcopy &quot;$(SolutionDir)License\xy.xml&quot; $(TargetDir)" />
  </Target>

The $(TargetDir) variable will be resolved correctly.

In the particular case of SolutionDir, I don't think this is set in the SDK, but rather by MSBuild.

@rainersigwald can you comment on this?

How are you invoking the build using dotnet? MSBuild can only set $(SolutionDir) when you start the build at the solution level.

Closing since we haven't had activity here in nearly a month. If you can answer the question above, we can re-activate this issue.
