System.Private.CoreLib.csproj fails to load in System.Private.CoreLib.sln without global installations of nightly/preview SDK #36349
Description
Activity
C:\git\runtime\src\coreclr\src\System.Private.CoreLib\System.Private.CoreLib.csproj: 401: <Import Project="$(RepositoryEngineeringDir)codeOptimization.targets" />
This means
$(RepositoryEngineeringDir)is not getting set. Which apparently should happen here:C:\git\runtime\Directory.Build.props: 22 <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(SkipImportArcadeSdkFromRoot)' == 'true'"> 23 <RepoRoot>$([MSBuild]::EnsureTrailingSlash('$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)'))</RepoRoot> 24: <RepositoryEngineeringDir>$([MSBuild]::NormalizeDirectory('$(RepoRoot)', 'eng'))</RepositoryEngineeringDir>
I don't know what
'$(SkipImportArcadeSdkFromRoot)' == 'true'is about. But it's apparently set hereC:\git\runtime\src\coreclr\Directory.Build.props: 2 3 <PropertyGroup> 4: <SkipImportArcadeSdkFromRoot>true</SkipImportArcadeSdkFromRoot>Just tried to repro this locally without success. The project both loads and builds successfully for me.
The said codeOptimization.targets file indeed does not seem to exist in the specified folder.
You mean on your local enlistment, this file is missing from the root
engfolder?I don't know what '$(SkipImportArcadeSdkFromRoot)' == 'true' is about. But it's apparently set here
This property determines if the Arcade SDK should be imported in the root's Directory.Build.props/targets files.

For some reason, it seems to look for the file from the solution root (
src\coreclr\src\System.Private.CoreLib\codeOptimization.targets).I am not the only one having this problem; @KoziLord was having this problem yesterday too.
Can you please send me a design time binlog by capturing the loading of the project? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioProductTeam.ProjectSystemTools
I have installed the extension, but I am not sure how I am supposed to use it; I opened the Build logging windows and have the build logging started but it doesn't seem to actually have any design time build related logs.
Actually... this is the full log that's being shown when I try to load the project:
C:\Users\gotos\source\repos\runtime\src\coreclr\src\System.Private.CoreLib\System.Private.CoreLib.csproj : error : The project file cannot be opened by the project system, because it is missing some critical imports or the referenced SDK cannot be found. Detailed Information: Unable to locate the .NET Core SDK. Check that it is installed and that the version specified in global.json (if any) matches the installed version. Project "C:\System.Private.CoreLib\src\System.Private.CoreLib.Shared.projitems" was not imported by "C:\Users\gotos\source\repos\runtime\src\coreclr\src\System.Private.CoreLib\System.Private.CoreLib.csproj" at (384,3), due to the file not existing. Project "C:\Users\gotos\source\repos\runtime\src\coreclr\src\System.Private.CoreLib\codeOptimization.targets" was not imported by "C:\Users\gotos\source\repos\runtime\src\coreclr\src\System.Private.CoreLib\System.Private.CoreLib.csproj" at (401,3), due to the file not existing.Could it be because of the SDK missing? and if so why does it think it is missing, when it's clearly inside the .dotnet folder?
When you open a project inside VS, the globally installed SDK is used. Ideally we would want VS to tell to not use that one but there is currently no hook to do so.
The minimum required SDK version is specified here: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/master/global.json#L3. This is documented here: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/master/docs/workflow/requirements/windows-requirements.md#net-sdk. You can find the download links for the required SDK version here: https://github.com/dotnet/installer#installers-and-binaries.
For Windows, https://aka.ms/dotnet/net5/preview5/Sdk/dotnet-sdk-win-x64.exe should suffice.
Installing the SDK globally indeed solves the problem. 👍
I wish the document was updated to be more accurate about it though, for me it sounds like it's only necessary if you want to run and build apps via the normal
dotnetway. It doesn't mention it's also required if you want to open solution files with VS... and I was not expecting this to happen because it "just worked" without global installations before (or could be that I had late enough SDK already globally installed).P.S. the aka.ms link doesn't seem to work? I know the other links point to the same thing but >.>

Yes that was probably the case. VS always used the globally installed SDK.

Great feedback :) Would you mind submitting a PR to make this clearer and correct the aka.ms link and point to https://github.com/dotnet/installer#installers-and-binaries instead?

Could do 🙂
correct the aka.ms link
No, I meant the link at the end of your last comment didn't work...

Oh I see. We just recently branched off for P5, that might be the reason. @dsplaisted are you aware of the dotnet/installer's P5 links not working correctly in the table? In example https://aka.ms/dotnet/net5/preview5/Sdk/dotnet-sdk-win-x64.exe.
Could do 🙂
Thanks :)

I think @bozturkMSFT and @wli3 are aware of this and working on it
@dsplaisted We don't seem to have a P5 branch in dotnet/installer yet. Do we have that task assigned to someone?
I think @sfoslund is the branch owner for preview 5.

The project fails to load with the log
Project "C:\users\gotos\source\repos\runtime\src\coreclr\src\System.Private.CoreLib\codeOptimization.targets" was not imported by "C:\users\gotos\source\repos\runtime\src\coreclr\src\System.Private.CoreLib\System.Private.CoreLib.csproj" at (401,3), due to the file not existing.. This is after building Clr+Libs subset successfully, viabuild -subset Clr+Libs -runtimeConfig Releaseon a clean repo.The said
codeOptimization.targetsfile indeed does not seem to exist in the specified folder.
