I have a .NetCore 3.1 commandline app. When buidling locally and publishing, it works completely fine using below commandline
dotnet publish -c dev -r win-x64 --self-contained true
In the Azure pipeline - I had to do the dotnet restore before doing a publish using the above command. Whilst publishing I had to add extra param --no-restore, as per Microsoft's recommendation here as I have private nuget feeds.
dotnet publish -c dev -r win-x64 --self-contained true --no-restore
Most dotnet commands, including build, publish, and test include an implicit restore step. This will fail against authenticated feeds, even if you ran a successful dotnet restore in an earlier step, because the earlier step will have cleaned up the credentials it used.
To fix this issue, add the --no-restore flag to the Arguments textbox.
Now, the publish part of the pipeline has started failing with the error -
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.1.401\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(241,5): error NETSDK1047: Assets file 'MyProject\obj\project.assets.json' doesn't have a target for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v3.1/win-x64'. Ensure that restore has run and that you have included 'netcoreapp3.1' in the TargetFrameworks for your project. You may also need to include 'win-x64' in your project's RuntimeIdentifiers.
Am not using a publish xml, but specifying all the arguments as shown above in the command line. I've checked the csproj has the target framework specified
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
<Configurations>Debug;Release;dev;test;pre;prod</Configurations>
</PropertyGroup>
Need any pointers as to what might be going wrong here?
Thanks
