I have a multitargeted (.NET 471 + Standard2.0) NuGet package which contains a class to be shared across a number of applications. I'd like to transform the namespace using the $RootNamespace$ token so the instance of the file in the consuming application shares the same namespace as the consuming application.

I've done what is outlined here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/create-packages/source-and-config-file-transformations

However, the transformed file never ends up in the consuming application. I included a dummy class with no transformation applied, and that does successfully get installed into the consuming application.

Source Code:

TransformationTester.cs.pp

namespace $RootNamespace$

 public static class TransformationTester
 
 public static string foo = "bar";
 

TesterNoTransformation.cs

namespace abc

 public static class TesterNoTransformation
 
 public static string foo = "bar";
 

Project.csproj

<ItemGroup>
 <None Remove="TransformationTester.cs.pp" />
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
 <Content Include="TransformationTester.cs.pp" />
 <Content Include="TesterNoTransformation.cs" />
</ItemGroup>

Published NuGet Package (only relevant files)

-content
 -TesterNoTransformation.cs
 -TransformationTester.cs.pp
-contentFiles
 -any
 -net471
 -TesterNoTransformation.cs
 -TransformationTester.cs.pp
 -netstandard2.0
 -TesterNoTransformation.cs
 -TransformationTester.cs.pp
-Project.nuspec

In Project.nuspec

<contentFiles>
 <files include="any/net471/TransformationTester.cs.pp" buildAction="Content" />
 <files include="any/netstandard2.0/TransformationTester.cs.pp" buildAction="Content" />
 <files include="any/net471/TesterNoTransformation.cs" buildAction="Content" />
 <files include="any/netstandard2.0/TesterNoTransformation.cs" buildAction="Content" />
</contentFiles>

After installing the package, TesterNoTransformation.cs winds up in the consuming application and TransformationTester.cs does not.

Any thoughts? I've been fighting with this today.
