System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (End of Central Directory record could not be found.)

Regarding dot net crank, I am getting this error when trying to run the previously working cloned repository code without making any changes.


[01:39:29.124] An unexpected error occurred while building the job. System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (End of Central Directory record could not be found.)

Solution

Reinstalling the crank and crank-agent packages resolved this error.

Another error that I faced when trying to uninstall the package was it was saying I do not have permission to access the location where the package file was. And the reason being crank-agent was running in one of the PowerShell terminal windows. After stopping the crank-agent and I could run the uninstalling command.

To uninstall run below commands:

dotnet tool uninstall microsoft.crank.controller -g
dotnet tool uninstall microsoft.crank.agent -g
