Hi, I work in an environment where we have .csproj files that import a common targets file (through <Import Project="..." />), and that targets file imports other targets files, and so on. I notice consistently that only the immediately referenced targets file is copied to the NCrunch workspace. Other imports are mysteriously absent.
For the longest time I thought this was default behavior and found ways to work around it, but then I found this
thread, which indicates this should not be the case.
I made something simple to repro this.
TestProj.csproj:
Code:

Any ideas?
Thanks,
