Autorest client generation multiple references of newtonsoft - autorest

Currently i am trying to build an autogenerating client on every time i release a new api.
I've got this running i can create the project and generate files from autorest.exe and everything works fine on my machine.
However when i try to replicate the same process on the buildserver i build my sln, and once i pack i get this error:
[pack] 'Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime' already has a dependency defined for 'Newtonsoft.Json'.
I have added this to my csproj file to pick up on the generated files, and this works fine on my local machine.
<Compile Include="Generated\*.cs" />
<Compile Include="Generated\Models\*.cs" />
I also tried including referenced projects on the build server like so
-IncludeReferencedProjects
After a couple of days im kind of stuck here, i have been having trouble finding docs on how to actually build the autorest generated client code, if anyone knows of some please share :)
Any help appreciated :)

The answer here was to update nuget on teamcity from 3.2.0 to 3.4.3 then the solution would build and run the files, i am still not sure what changed since this couldnt build, but somehow with 3.2.0 i had 2 references to newtonsoft within Microsoft.rest.clientruntime, when i updated it went away.

After many hours of searching, the answer was to run 'nuget update -self' on the failing copy of nuget.exe.

How do I get Hellow Quantum world to run in Visual Studio 2019

This is my first attempt at Q#. I followed the instructions here: How do I get the missing dependencies? Please see my screen shot
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/quantum/install-command-line-qdk?tabs=tabid-vs
Have you tried just building the program? Nuget dependencies are typically downloaded the first time you build the program?
Looks like you're using the most recent version of the QDK (0.17.2105.144881), so you can open your .csproj file and confirm that it's using it. You should see this on the first line:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.Quantum.Sdk/0.17.2105144881">
You can also confirm that the NuGet.config file in your machine has the public feed in it:
<add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" protocolVersion="3" />
If you still get NuGet restore issues, I would also recommend installing .Net Core SDK 3.1.409 (Link). I see that you are using .Net 5.0, but you can have multiple versions side by side.
I hope this information is useful.
It seems like there is an issue with NuGet. If you in Visual Studio select Tools=>Nuget Package Manager=>Package Manager Console and in that write the command: dotnet restore.
And you then get an error similar to:
The package is missing the required nuspec file. Path:
C:\Users\x\.nuget\packages\x.x.x
Then there is something broken with your local NuGet cash, empty it by removing everything inside the packages folder. and then run the command dotnet restore again.
also includes the error messages, since image-texts isn't searchable (so that others also can find this):
No namespace with the name "Microsoft.Quantum.Canon" exists.
No namespace with the name "Microsoft.Quantum.Intrinsic" exists.
No type with the name "EntryPoint" exists in any of the open namespaces.
No identifier with the name "Message" exists. Assets file
'c:\User…\obj\project.assets.json' not fount. Run a Nuget package
restore to generate this file.

Assets file project.assets.json not found when running a build on Azure Devops

I have a build pipeline configured for a Service Fabric solution on Azure DevOps like this:
Everything was fine until a few days ago when the build started failing on a particular build agent (private), with the following error (for a few projects):
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.1.200\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\build\Microsoft.PackageDependencyResolution.targets(327,5): Error : Assets file 'F:\Agent03\w\84\s\src\MyProject.Sam.Tiles.Domain\obj\project.assets.json' not found. Run a NuGet package restore to generate this file.
The failing task is the Build solution $(PathToSolution) one.
The weird thing is that the build fails when running on some agents but with others the build is fine.
Some details:
Use NuGet 4.x task started using NuGet v4.9.1 very recently, I think. I tried using v4.8.1 with no luck;
Most of the projects use the PackageReference format, but the .sfproj project uses the packages.config file
I tried using the dotnet restore task but there is an error when trying to restore the packages for the .sfproj project:
`Error : Unable to find the
'....\packages\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Azure.Fabric.MSBuild.1.6.7\build\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Azure.Fabric.Application.props'
file. Please restore the
'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Azure.Fabric.MSBuild' Nuget package
Any idea on what might be causing this issue?
Some of the projects use the PackageReference format but the .sfproj project uses the packages.config file.
I still don't understand why the build started failing, but I was able to find a workaround. Given that PackageReference is not yet supported in Service Fabric projects, my workaround was to use both restore tasks as follows:
My problem turned out to be a solution that didn't include all the necessary projects.
I have a master solution file that includes all my projects, and a number of smaller solution files with only some of the projects. The master solution built fine in Azure DevOps, but the partial solution failed.
I realized that the missing project.assets.json file belonged to a project that needed to be included in this failing solution.
Trevor's comment on 2/20 gave me the clue. You likely don't have the complete set of projects referenced by the solution. (ProjectReferences may go to other projects, which are not in the solution).
Here is why this crazy workaround (run dotnet.exe and nuget.exe restore tasks) worked:
dotnet restore will walk project references by default to ensure they are restored also.
--no-dependencies switch can turn that off.
nuget.exe restore has the opposite default, because we didn't want to break old users.
-recursive can turn this on.
The right solution is to make your solution contain all the projects.

AutoMapper 6.2.2 restore fails on VSTS build server

The Restore step fails in my build definition with this error:
error NU1100: Unable to resolve 'AutoMapper (>= 6.2.2)' for '.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.0'.
This is in a .NETCoreApp 2.0 that is using AutoMapper. Restore succeeds locally in VS 2017. Locally I am using dotnet sdk 2.0.0, and nuget 4.3.1. On the VSTS (cloud) server, I am specifying the latest nuget version, 4.5.0. I have tried many other versions, including 4.3.1 with no success.
I know there is an older, similar question here, but that was never answered satisfactorily, in my opinion.
If I look at the meta data in VS, at the top of one of the Automapper files I can see this:
Assembly AutoMapper, Version=6.2.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=be96cd2c38ef1005
// C:\Users\randyg.nuget\packages\automapper\6.2.2\lib\netstandard1.3\AutoMapper.dll
From this you can see it's taking the netstandard1.3 version, which is correct. I'm wondering if the nuget on the build server is looking for a netcoreApp2.0 folder, rather than the netstandard1.3 folder? Following this theory, I tried adding this to my .csproj file:
<AssetTargetFallback>$(AssetTargetFallback);netstandard1.3</AssetTargetFallback>
My theory was this would tell nuget to look for a netstandard1.3 version of automapper if it couldn't find a netcoreapp2.0 version. However, this didn't have any effect. I later read that behind the scenes this fallback is already added automatically.
If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. I'm pulling out (what's left of) my hair on this, as this is the only package giving me trouble, and it's a critical one for my project.
On the build server I'm using .NET Core sdk 2.0.3 as well, if that matters.
This is how I solved this: since it seemed it might have to do with my target being netcoreapp2.0, I tried adding an additional 'dummy' project to my solution, with its target = netstandard1.3. In this configuration, the restore/build succeeded. I thought I would have to maintain this dummy project for this purpose, until I tried deleteing it and now the netcoreapp2.0 solution still restores fine without it. I can only assume something was corrupted in the TFS build server NPM cache (even though I had tried checking the box to disable that cache), and once I got it to succeed once, it has cleared up whatever the issue was.

NQunit.NUnit getting started guide

does anybody know of a good tutorial for getting started with NQUnit.NUnit.
I've installed it to my test project via nuget and am unsure what the blank.js and async.js files are all about, should I rename these to match my files under test or do I just add my asyncronous and syncronous tests to the respective files.
ta!

Visual Studio 2010 Publish Web feature not including all DLLs

I have an ASP.NET MVC 2 application.
Web project contains a reference to SomeProject
SomeProject contains references to ExternalAssembly1 and ExternalAssembly2.
SomeProject explicitly calls into ExternalAssembly1, but NOT ExternalAssembly2.
ExternalAssembly1 calls into ExternalAssembly2
When I perform a local build everything is cool. All DLLs are included in the bin\debug folder. The problem is that when I use the Publish Web command in Visual Studio 2010, it deploys everything except ExternalAssembly2.
It appears to ignore assemblies that aren't directly used (remember, ExternalAssembly2 is only used by ExternalAssembly1).
Is there any way I can tell Visual Studio 2010 to include ExternalAssembly2?
I can write a dummy method that calls into ExternalAssembly2. This does work, but I really don't want to have dummy code for the sole purpose of causing VS2010 to publish the DLL.
None of these answers are sufficient in my mind. This does seem to be a genuine bug. I will update this response if I ever find a non-hack solution, or Microsoft fixes the bug.
Update:
Doesn't seem promising.
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/731303/publish-web-feature-not-including-all-dlls
I am having this same problem (different assemblies though). If I reference the assemblies in my web project, then they will get included in the publish output, but they should be included anyway because they are indirect dependencies:
Web Project ---> Assembly A ---> Assembly B
On build, assemblies A and B are outputed to the \bin folder. On publish, only assembly A is outputed to the publish folder.
I have tried changing the publish settings to include all files in the web project, but then I have files in my publish output that shouldn't be deployed.
This seems like a bug to me.
I had the same problem with VS2010 and a WCF Service Application.
It turns out that if your (directly or indirectly) referenced DLL's are deployed to GAC, the VS publishing feature excludes them. Once I removed the assemblies from GAC, publishing feature started working as expected.
I guess VS is assuming that if your assemblies can be located in GAC on the machine you build, they will be located in GAC on the target machine as well. At least in my case this assumption is false.
My tests show that the external assemblies get published when I have a reference on them in the web project. I do not have to write any dummy code to make it work. This seems acceptable to me.
I agree with Nicholas that this seems to be a bug in visual studio. At least it escapes me what the reason for the behavior could be.
I have created this issue as a bug on Microsoft Connect. If anyone experiencing it could vote it up https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/637071/publish-web-feature-not-including-all-dlls then hopefully we'll get something done about it.
If you go into the ExternalAssembly2 reference property list and change the "Copy Local" to "True" i think that might solve your issue.
I don't know if you are watching this still but I found the solution (I had the exact same issue) via this MSDN article. Under "build action" for the file choose "Content" that should include it in the list of files publish brings over.
I have created a new Connect bug here https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/731303/publish-web-feature-not-including-all-dlls
I've also attached a solution and detailed steps to reproduce this issue. Lets hope this time they won't close it as Can't Reproduce.
Vote for this connect issue if you experience the missing dll problem.
Copy local did the trick. I had an issue that the Newtonsoft.Json assembly get included in the deploymeny package. Copy local was set to false.
I am experiencing the same type of issue with a web project. I have a web project that references assembly A which references assembly B. It worked fine for some time but today it was broken. I did a rebuild of the solution and this time it deployed everything correctly.
I had this same problem today. I published my web project and realized that not all of the reference DLL's were there. In particular, the indirect DLL references.
It turns out that the directory in which I was publishing to was out of disk space (network share). I had just enough space to publish all the files except for few indirect reference DLL's. The sad part is that VS08 didn't throw any errors. It just published the files are usual. I cleared out some HDD space and everything worked fine.
I didn't find the HDD space issue until I tried to manually move the DLL's over.
in my case it is quite tricky.
Reference to ExternalAssembly2 is not required to Build the project but vital for run-time since we use reflection to configure Unity container.
So, I delete the reference - build the project successfully, but get run-time error.
If I preserve the reference I can Build and Run the application but I cannot Publish it with ExternalAssembly2 - get run-time exception as well.
This is happen because of internal VS2010 assemblies optimization.
So, what we can do here?
1. Put some unrequired peice of code to use any ExternalAssembly2's class.
2. escape from reflection and use static assemblies linking.
Hope this helps to smbd.
I got the same problem and this is a VS2010 bug if there's a reference link like:
Web Project --> custom project --> assembly1 -->(indirectly) assembly2.
For now I find if I reference the Assembly1 in the web project, then assembly2 is included in the bin folder.
So I had to add an additional reference link like:
Web project --> assembly1 -->(indirectly) assembly2.
Then VS can recognize assembly2 and include its dll file in publish action.
