[Question]Multi-Targeting how to specify which group to use

Hi,

so I want to multi-target netstandard2.0 and net462.

I have a dependency on Microsoft.Extensions.Logging. For NET standard, I can use the latest (2.2). But for NET 4.6.2 I need to use 1.1.2 and I need Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions, too.

So my first attempt was this:

// paket.dependencies:
framework: netstandard2.0, netcoreapp2.2, net462
source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

nuget Microsoft.Extensions.Logging ~> 2.2 

group Net462:
    framework: net462
    source: ...

    nuget Microsoft.Extensions.Logging 1.1.2 framework:net462
    nuget Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions 1.1.2 framework:net462

// paket.references:
Microsoft.Extensions.Logging
Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions

But the output of this is that

• netstandard gets all it needs
• net462 gets Microsoft.Extensions.Logging 2.2 and no Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions at all

Next attempt:

// same paket.dependencies as above
// paket.references:
group Net462 framework:Net462

Same result.

So, obviously I am misunderstanding something about how to use framework as a conditional element.

Any help, please?

Thx,
Max

Start by reproducing the dependency resolution with the shown paket.dependencies and paket.references files, then inspect the generated dependencies for netstandard2.0 and net462. Done means netstandard2.0 resolves Microsoft.Extensions.Logging 2.2, while net462 resolves version 1.1.2 and includes Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions.
