Unable to build default ASP.Net Core Web Application (.NET Core) on Visual Studio Team Services using Hosted Agent

12
votes

Having created a new ASP.Net Core Web Application (.Net Core) project in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 and checked this in to a Visual Studio Team Services git repository. I am using the release version of .Net Core and ASP.Net Core.

I am now trying to build this using the VSTS Build system using a build definition based on this guide: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/build/apps/aspnet/aspnetcore-to-azure

However, the build fails on the dotnet restore step with the log shown below (first part not included, this is from where it starts to fail).

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to prep the current Hosted Agents in any way to get this working with the v1.0.0 release of ASP.Net Core?

I did follow those instruction but using the Hosted Agent alternative. We would like to use Hosted Agents as we currently have no option to use on-premise build agents. – TomRay74
On the general tab, what "Demand" did you add? – Nick Acosta
I did not add any Demand. What should I add? Since I am using the Hosted Agents I can't seem to be able to add any demands. Also, according to the doc mentioned above the demand only needs to be added to custom build agents but please correct me if I am wrong. – TomRay74
This looks like the build system is using an older version of .Net Core SDK. Can you upgrade that to 1.0? – svick
As of 13 July 2016, The VSTS hosted build agents have been updated to include ".NET Core 1.0 with Preview 2 Tooling". See blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudioalm/2016/07/13/… – Chris Melinn

You should replace "tools" section in your project.json like this:

    "tools": {
    "BundlerMinifier.Core": "2.1.258",
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Tools": {
      "version": "1.0.0-preview2-final",
      "imports": [
        "netstandard1.6"
      ]
    },
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.IISIntegration.Tools": {
      "version": "1.0.0-preview2-final",
      "imports": [
        "netstandard1.6"
      ]
    },
    "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools": {
      "version": "1.0.0-preview2-final",
      "imports": [
        "netstandard1.6"
      ]
    },
    "Microsoft.Extensions.SecretManager.Tools": "1.0.0-preview2-final",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Tools": {
      "version": "1.0.0-preview2-final",
      "imports": [
        "portable-net45+win8+wp8+wpa81",
        "netstandard1.6"
      ]
    }
  },

some packages needs to import netstandard1.6 but Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Tools needs netstandard1.6 and portable-net45+win8+wp8+wpa81

I encountered the same issue with dotnet restore using the hosted build agent in VSTS. Based on the comment from @svick , I ran dotnet --version to check what is installed on the hosted agent. As of today, it is still 1.0.0-preview1-002702 and not the referenced version of 1.0.0-preview2-003121.

The official software for the hosted build agents can be found at https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/build/agents/hosted-pool . In particular, notice it still shows Visual Studio 2015 Update 2. Hopefully, this gets updated soon.
