Cannot restore packages for self-contained application on macOS Sierra 10.12-x64

[scanham]

On macOS Sierra I cannot restore packages for a dotnet app that I build as a self-contained/standalone app.

Steps to reproduce

This is what my project.json file looks like in order to build it self-contained:

...
"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
      "version": "1.0.1"
}
...
"runtimes": {
    "win10-x64": {},
    "win8-x64": {},
    "osx.10.10-x64": {},
    "osx.10.11-x64": {
      "#import": [ "osx.10.11", "osx.10.10-x64" ]
    },
    "osx.10.12-x64": {
      "#import": [ "osx.10.12", "osx.10.11-x64" ]
    },
    "debian.8-x64": {}
},

dotnet restore

Expected behavior

restore command to complete successfully

Actual behavior

The following errors occur during the restore

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

If I remove the 10.12-x64 runtime reference and add "type": "platform" to the app declaration I am able to restore and run. This was working as a self contained app on osx10.11.

@rrelyea @yishaigalatzer

I don't believe the #import syntax you are using actually works in the project.json. @rrelyea / @yishaigalatzer can confirm.

We are adding the osx.10.12 runtimes in our next release. In this case, you can just continue to restore and publish for osx.10.11 and run on 12. Is just an association, all the resulting binaries are the same between the OS's.

You should be able to leave type platform off and still publish standalone if your project.json is like this (no need to update it for Sierra assuming you don't have Sierra specific assets):

"runtimes": {
    "win10-x64": {},
    "win8-x64": {},
    "osx.10.10-x64": {},
    "osx.10.11-x64": {},
    "debian.8-x64": {}
},

In fact, I think you can take osx10.10-x64 out at this point too unless you still care to run there.

[Knaackee]

This does not work for me. Without osx.10.12-x64 in the runtimes i get

Can not find runtime target for framework '.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0' compatible with one of the target runtimes: 'osx.10.12-x64'. Possible causes:
1. The project has not been restored or restore failed - run `dotnet restore`
2. The project does not list one of 'osx.10.12-x64' in the 'runtimes' section.
3. You may be trying to publish a library, which is not supported. Use `dotnet pack` to distribute libraries.

And with i get the error described by op.

@dknaack , Can you share your project.json?

[Knaackee]

Yes, sure.

Its a Asp.NET Application

[Petermarcu]

without osx.10.12-x64 listed in your runtimes, I'm not sure where the tools would even get that string for the error. That comes from the runtimes section. What command are you running? Are you running dotnet restore on the project.json with no osx.10.12-x64 in the runtimes section?

[Knaackee]

Ive run dotnet restore and then dotnet run.

[scanham]

I experience the same error when running it without osx.10.12-x64 in the
runtimes section. The restore command completes but run command fails with
the error posted by @dknaack.

[Petermarcu]

Yes, I'm seeing the same problems now too. @brthor , @livarcocc , can you take a look at this? Both dotnet build and dotnet publish are not working on 10.12 despite the project.json not saying anything about 10.12. Is something in the CLI still inferring the runtime?

Simple repro is dotnet new and replace project.json with this:

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "buildOptions": {
    "debugType": "portable",
    "emitEntryPoint": true
  },
  "dependencies": {},
  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "dependencies": {
        "Microsoft.NETCore.App": "1.0.0"
      }
    }
  },
  "runtimes": {
    "win10-x64": {},
    "win8-x64": {},
    "osx.10.11-x64": {},
    "debian.8-x64": {}
  }
}

[eerhardt]

A quick workaround to get folks unblocked:

You can set DOTNET_RUNTIME_ID=osx.10.11-x64 environment variable, and that will tell the CLI to use that RID. This will allow you to restore, build, run, publish as normal.

NOTE: a real fix is in the works. This is just a workaround until the fix is available.

[scanham]

Thanks - that works for me.

[eerhardt]

This is fixed by dotnet/cli#4281 and will be in our next release.
