Same issue.

I ran into this as well while trying to get a project configured to use my shared library on a new laptop. It took a bunch of digging, but it appears to be caused by two problems:
You can fix these issues with the following steps:
<clear />line{ "sdk": { "version": "2.1.202" } }At this point, the project should build successfully without errors. Now that the SDK is safely downloaded to your local NuGet cache, you can delete global.json and put the
<clear />line back, and all should be well going forward on that machine. I'm not 100% sure that switching to the .NET Core SDK was actually necessary, so if someone could try just steps 1 and 3 and update here whether it worked or not, that would be much appreciated.
