The question is has this been enough to change public perception of the app to make it a true Xcode Mac competitor? These included improved functionality for.
#Visual studio community 2017 os x target framework for mac
In the years that followed, Visual Studio for Mac has undergone various tweaks and improvements. Initially, they weren’t far off the mark. In 2017 Microsoft released Visual Studio for Mac, although many users wondered whether it would turn out to be a reskinned version of Xamarin Studio Xamarin had been acquired by Microsoft just one year earlier. I dream of the day when all the build tools can build all the apps produced by the IDE.There are plenty of code editing options out there for developers who use Apple products - Xcode Mac being one notable example - but, up until a few years ago, Visual Studio wasn’t one of them. I hope someone at MS is reading and sorts this stuff out. This is more than can be said for the template web app created in VS 2017 which will not build. It is nasty and hard-coded to Studio 2015 (v14!) but does actually work in Studio 2015, 2017, dotnet.exe, msbuild.exe and on your build agents assuming you installed stuff to the default locations, and have 2015 build tools.

$(MSBuildProgramFiles32)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0 To $(MSBuildProgramFiles32)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0 This time I forced the path of VSTools to use the file from Studio 2015 (the 2017 ones have a path based on application version - pro, enterprise, buildtools etc - so are a pain to path for easily with all the build tools)Ĭhange the line in the csproj from $(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)

There are other ways to solve it no doubt, but my hack was to change the csproj file (as usual). This is a hack, I am sure it will be fixed in an updated dotnet core SDK.

I am pretty sure this used to work but an update seems to have broken it? The solution Hmmm, why is a looking in the Core SDK folders? It builds fine if I go to msbuild directly at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\msbuild but the new CLI tooling does not seem to understand a full framework website. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.Īs usual, it builds fine in Studio 2017. T\VisualStudio\v10.0\WebApplications\" was not found. I got this error: SampleWebApp.csproj(262,3): error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.4\Microsof The problemĬreate a brand new dot net 4.6 full framework (not core) website with VS 2017 15.2 and try and use the new dotnet.exe CLI to build it by running dotnet build in the solution folder. In this case dotnet build was unable to find the web targets. Well not missing but not copied to right path some dev tooling was expecting. I often find that these scripted builds fail on build servers because they are missing, but this week I had a case where they were missing on my dev desktop.

We even dare to have created websites with old versions of Visual Studio and upgrade them when a new one comes out.

And we do this on build servers that do not have Visual Studio installed using scripts. Every time Microsoft releases some build tooling it feels like they forget lots of us use it to build websites.
