This time the issue is with MSBuild task that I set up in one of my project (in the project file). The task is to copy the dll to a different location after build is done. I copied the configuration over to a different project and guess what, it didn't work.
Problem
It worked flawlessly for a very long time with the following configuration:
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
<Copy SourceFiles="..." DestinationFolder="..." />
</Target>
Solution
Two main differences between the two projects are the working on is a .NET Framework project and built in VS2017. The new one is a .NET Standard and built in VS2019. Apparently, there is a change for VS2019 that comes with updated MSBuild. It is no longer depends on the target name (it is a bad idea anyway) to determine when to execute the task. I update it to the following and then it works great.
<Target Name="AnyNameIsFine" AfterTargets="Build">
<Copy SourceFiles="..." DestinationFolder="..." />
</Target>
