When investigating https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Could-not-copy-the-file-SomeFiledepsj/1380752 this solution actually resolved the issue. Not sure if it's the right path or why this PR is failing, but thought it was worth mentioning.

@benvillalobos That workaround does not work on my case. In my opinion, there should be another solution because it looks like a bug. It is working when I rebuild once, when I rebuild twice it is failing. I think there should be a small change somewhere, but I don't know where.
Can someone review that PR: #14488. That PR fixes issue related to publishing project: #1675
Maybe we should add publish conditions or add another condition there?

@benvillalobos any comments?

@komdil I'm not familiar with the details of applying _UseBuildDependencyFile, but applying UseCommonOutputDirectory (as suggested in the original issue) worked as well and that seemed ideal for the scenario of multiple projects pointing to the same output directory.

Unfortunately, UserCommandOutputDirectory not helped. I want to know why this issue is not marked as a bug. The reason is I am available to rebuild my solution only once and getting errors on rebuilding twice. If my project configurations are wrong, why I am not getting these errors on the first time rebuilding?
