Metadata step fails while compiling csharp projects with nuget references

[Stoffelche]

I have a bunch of dotnet framework projects, for which I am maintaining a help site.
It worked with version 2.61, but now I updated to 2.67.5 and the metatdata step fails, during compilation of projects, with nuget references.
It is unable to resolve types and namespaces of the nuget package class libraries. When I build the projects in VStudion there is not problem. I assume this is a bug, but before reporting it as such, I want to make sure it really is. Or is there some configuration setting, whidch tells docfx, to handle these nuget packages?

Does setting allowCompilationErrors to true works? We've introduced strict compilation checks in newer versions which was ignored in previous versions.

{
  "metadata": {
    // ...
    "allowCompilationErrors": true
  }
}

Thanks for your help. I can try it, but still, there should not be any errors when compiling. There must be a reason, that it does not recognize the references from nuget packages

Also, it is unclear to me, where in the metadata section this statement should go.
my metadata section is an array of src/dest objects, thus it does not start with a { but with [

According to class MetadataJsonItemConfig, "allowCompilationErrors" should be a property of the same JSON object as "src" and "dest".

Seems these properties would be worth documenting in Properties for metadata. Or make class MetadataJsonItemConfig public and add a link from the config JSON documentation to the generated API documentation so that it is always up to date.

Thanks for your help.
But anyway, the problem, that it does not recognize types from nuget packages is not fixed by this settings.
What coud be the reason for this?
