Hello Theo.
Could you please give a project that shows the problem? I tried with a newly create webservice and I can’t reproduce the endless loop.
It more looks like we have some problems with resolving refs here but not with publish itself.

Just tried.

It only happens when you do a solution rebuild and then publish.

But I see that it is publishing now, the loops stops now after about 30 secs.

Close the issue for now.

With the latest version from the firehose it takes some time for the resolving, but it finishes within 30 secs now.

Longer than it should IYO?
