.Net Core Project in Team Build / MSBuild?

votes

We are trying to build a .Net Core project in TFS team build. We have VS 2015, Preview Tools 2 and .Net Core 1.1 on the build machine.

From within Visual Studio on that machine, it builds fine.

If we go into the project directory and run dotnet-publish from the command line, it works fine.

From within team build, we get the dreaded dotnet props can't be found error.

I am using global.json in my project.

Any trick to getting team build to work?

You could also use Command line task in your build definition. First restore Nuget Package with

Build your ASP.NET Core project and publish the output to a folder.

  • Tool: dotnet
  • Arguments: publish -c $(BuildConfiguration) -o $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)
  • Advanced, Working folder: Folder in which the project.json file (for projects created with VS 2015) or .csproj file (for projects created with VS 2017) exists.
