.resx does not properly generate Design-File

Looking at AspNetCore Identity (or the whole aspnetcore logic), we can see, that their ErrorDescribers access the resource like:

  <data name="UserNotInRole" xml:space="preserve">
    <value>User is not in role '{0}'.</value>
    <comment>Error when a user is not in the role</comment>
  </data>

  <data name="UserNotInRole" xml:space="preserve">
    <value>User is not in role '{0}'.</value>
    <comment>Error when a user is not in the role</comment>
  </data>

This will result in a generated method with the following:

        /// <summary>User is not in role '{0}'.</summary>
        internal static string @UserNotInRole => GetResourceString("UserNotInRole");
        /// <summary>User is not in role '{0}'.</summary>
        internal static string FormatUserNotInRole(object p0)
           => string.Format(Culture, GetResourceString("UserNotInRole"), p0);

        /// <summary>User is not in role '{0}'.</summary>
        internal static string @UserNotInRole => GetResourceString("UserNotInRole");
        /// <summary>User is not in role '{0}'.</summary>
        internal static string FormatUserNotInRole(object p0)
           => string.Format(Culture, GetResourceString("UserNotInRole"), p0);

And allows to call it like a method with a parameter:

    /// <summary>
    /// Returns an <see cref="IdentityError"/> indicating a user is not in the specified <paramref name="role"/>.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="role">The duplicate role.</param>
    /// <returns>An <see cref="IdentityError"/> indicating a user is not in the specified <paramref name="role"/>.</returns>
    public virtual IdentityError UserNotInRole(string role)
    {
        return new IdentityError
        {
            Code = nameof(UserNotInRole),
            Description = Resources.FormatUserNotInRole(role)
        };
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Returns an <see cref="IdentityError"/> indicating a user is not in the specified <paramref name="role"/>.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="role">The duplicate role.</param>
    /// <returns>An <see cref="IdentityError"/> indicating a user is not in the specified <paramref name="role"/>.</returns>
    public virtual IdentityError UserNotInRole(string role)
    {
        return new IdentityError
        {
            Code = nameof(UserNotInRole),
            Description = Resources.FormatUserNotInRole(role)
        };
    }

When i edit this file with more params like User is not in role '{0}' ABC: {1} the generated method will update properly to be generated like internal static string FormatUserNotInRole(object p0, object p1) . So now i want to achieve this within my own project. But somehow i couldn´t manage the localization to generate those damn parameters and i have absolutely no clue why. I´ve already set the generator as well as the file.

My .csproj looks like:

<ItemGroup>
  <EmbeddedResource Update="Resources\ErrorResources.resx">
    <Generator>PublicResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>
    <LastGenOutput>ErrorResources.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>
  </EmbeddedResource>
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
  <EmbeddedResource Update="Resources\ErrorResources.resx">
    <Generator>PublicResXFileCodeGenerator</Generator>
    <LastGenOutput>ErrorResources.Designer.cs</LastGenOutput>
  </EmbeddedResource>
</ItemGroup>

But the generated code is just

        /// <summary>
        ///   Looks up a localized string similar to Failed to update the database {0}.
        /// </summary>
        internal static string DatabaseUpdateFailure {
            get {
                return ResourceManager.GetString("DatabaseUpdateFailure", resourceCulture);
            }
        }

        /// <summary>
        ///   Looks up a localized string similar to Failed to update the database {0}.
        /// </summary>
        internal static string DatabaseUpdateFailure {
            get {
                return ResourceManager.GetString("DatabaseUpdateFailure", resourceCulture);
            }
        }
