How to remove docker support from an ASP.NET Core project?

I've installed Visual Studio 2017 Community RC with .NET Core and Docker (Preview) so I could try the "Add docker support" on my project.

Unfortunatelly I couldn't get things work together (win8.1 + docker toolbox + hyperv engine + docker tools seems like not works together well) so I decided to remove docker support from my project.

There was no any menu item to remove docker support so I just deleted all docker related files from the solution.

Currently I get an error when I try to build/rebuild/clean/...:

Error MSB4018 The "CleanWorkspace" task failed unexpectedly. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The file 'D:\dev\AspNetCore\docker-compose.yml' was not found.

Error MSB4018 The "PrepareForCompile" task failed unexpectedly. System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The file 'D:\dev\AspNetCore\docker-compose.yml' was not found.

I tried to delete bin, obj, .vs folders without luck.

Solution

  • If you look in your project folder you should see a user settings file called <projectname>.csproj.user.

    Within this file it may look like the following

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <ActiveDebugProfile>Docker</ActiveDebugProfile>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

    Just change

    <ActiveDebugProfile>Docker</ActiveDebugProfile>

    to 

    <ActiveDebugProfile>Debug</ActiveDebugProfile>

    You may be able to just delete this file as it is user settings and there may be nothing else relevant in the file, please check.

    Please backup before any changes.
