I was excited to read that the latest release version of ServiceStack (4.5.14) supports .Net Core 2.0 (see release notes). I tried adding ServiceStack 4.5.14 to my application targeting .Net Core 2.0.
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<Folder Include="wwwroot\" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" Version="2.0.3" />
<PackageReference Include="ServiceStack" Version="4.5.14" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="..\Local.Service\Local.Service.csproj" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Update="Microsoft.NETCore.App" Version="2.0.3" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
When I build the project, I get the following error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CS1061 'IApplicationBuilder' does not contain a definition for 'UseServiceStack' and no extension method 'UseServiceStack' accepting a first argument of type 'IApplicationBuilder' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Startup ...\Startup\Startup.cs 24 Active
And warnings for each of the ServiceStack packages like this one:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Warning NU1701 Package 'ServiceStack 4.5.14' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1' instead of the project target framework '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.0'. This package may not be fully compatible with your project. Local.Service ...\Local.Service\Local.Service.csproj 1
The release notes to which I referred above reference example applications provided by the ServiceStack team. However, all of the examples that support .Net Core 2.0 are also using ServiceStack 5.0 and not 4.5.14.
I added ServiceStack 5.0 to my project, and it does work nicely with .Net Core 2.0. I would prefer to use a release version of the package, though, if possible.
Does v4.5.14 really support .Net Core 2.0? If so, how?
