Build Microsoft.AspNet.Identity from source, throws error when resolving packages

I am trying to build AspNetIdentity from source available in https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetIdentity. It throws errors in the build process. Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start Visual Studio 2019 Community and select Clone a repository. Enter the following URL and click Clone: https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetIdentity.git
  2. Copy nuget.exe to the .nuget directory in the cloned project.
  3. Build the solution.

The output is:

1>------ Build started: Project: Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
2>------ Build started: Project: Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Owin, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 3 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

It seems there is a problem with the following directory paths which contain the \ \ part, but I don't know why is it included in the path:

C:\Users\MyUserName\Source\Repos\AspNetIdentity\ \packages\Moq.4.0.10827
Solution

  • Build Microsoft.AspNet.Identity from source, throws error when resolving packages

    The issue is under RestoreCommand of the nuget.targets file.

    And by default, SolutionDir property contains \. And in the command, it will make the MSBuild unable to find the package address.

    Besides, I noticed that:

    -solutionDir "$(SolutionDir) "</RestoreCommand>

    there is a space between SolutionDir and ", you should delete it.

    Solution

    change to use this in nuget.targets file:

    <SolutionDir1>$(SolutionDir.Trim('\'))</SolutionDir1>

<RestoreCommand>$(NuGetCommand) install "$(PackagesConfig)" -source "$(PackageSources)"  $(RequireConsentSwitch) -solutionDir "$(SolutionDir1)"</RestoreCommand>

    When you finish it, you should close VS and then restart your project to reload the new csproj file to enable your changes.

    Notice: use a new property SolutionDir1 which removes that \ and then use it in the command.
