c# – Publish profiles are suddenly being ignored

I have an existing solution with several projects. I have created publish profiles for some of those projects. This was done a long time ago and those publish profiles have been working well.

But today, I went to publish one of those projects and I was prompted to create a publish profile for it. For some reason, it seems to no longer be finding my existing profiles.

The only thing that has changed recently is that I moved my source control to a different GitHub repository. I thought maybe the publish profiles did not get checked in. However, looking closer, I can see that my profile file is there! I can look at the contents, and it appears to be my publish settings. But for some reason, Visual Studio doesn’t think it exists.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Project>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <DeleteExistingFiles>true</DeleteExistingFiles>
    <ExcludeApp_Data>false</ExcludeApp_Data>
    <LaunchSiteAfterPublish>true</LaunchSiteAfterPublish>
    <LastUsedBuildConfiguration>Release</LastUsedBuildConfiguration>
    <LastUsedPlatform>x64</LastUsedPlatform>
    <PublishProvider>FileSystem</PublishProvider>
    <PublishUrl>D:\Users\jwood\Desktop\Railtrax Projects\Pegasus</PublishUrl>
    <WebPublishMethod>FileSystem</WebPublishMethod>
    <SiteUrlToLaunchAfterPublish />
    <TargetFramework>net9.0</TargetFramework>
    <RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
    <PublishReadyToRun>true</PublishReadyToRun>
    <ProjectGuid>cd06b4b7-15ca-47b4-89b0-05d41a6e8107</ProjectGuid>
    <SelfContained>false</SelfContained>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Note that the publish profile file has a red circle next to it. And when I hover over that circle, I get a tool tip that says it is being ignored. But I think this is related to source control.

Does anyone know why Visual Studio has stopped using my publish profiles? Or how I can tell Visual Studio where my publish profile file is?
