Description

This doc https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/tree/main/src/mono/wasi#how-to-build-the-runtime suggested that built runtime pack can be referenced outside of the repo by a sample project. When I use it this way I end up with some errors:

hello-wasm failed with 1 error(s) (0.7s) → bin/Debug/net9.0/wasi-wasm/publish/
    /home/jstur/.dotnet/nightly/packs/Microsoft.NET.Runtime.WebAssembly.Wasi.Sdk/9.0.0-rtm.24480.7/Sdk/WasmApp.Common.targets(875,5): error :

Is there a way to reference the runtime pack for testing outside of the repository? Maybe the approach in https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/docs/workflow/testing/using-dev-shipping-packages.md is needed?

Running the samples provided in wasi folder in the repo work fine.

Reproduction Steps

I changed the approach a bit from what is documented in after finding other docs that suggested:

<Target Name="UpdateRuntimePack" AfterTargets="ResolveFrameworkReferences">
    <ItemGroup>
      <!-- update runtime pack to local build -->
      <ResolvedRuntimePack
        PackageDirectory="/home/jstur/projects/runtime/artifacts/bin/microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.wasi-wasm/Debug"
        Condition="'%(ResolvedRuntimePack.FrameworkName)' == 'Microsoft.NETCore.App'" />
    </ItemGroup>
  </Target>

A sample repo is in: https://github.com/jsturtevant/test-runtime
