pgscan fails because it uses .Net 7

[HeSitates]

We have removed some old stuff on our build server and now one build fails, all other builds build without a problem.

The app itself is build (still .Net 6), but pgscan uses .Net 7 (no SDK installed) and then fails.

variables:
- name: MajorVersion
  value: 24
- name: MinorVersion
  value: 2
- name: BuildConfiguration
  value: 'release'
- name: BuildPlatform
  value: 'any cpu'

steps:
- checkout: self
  clean: true

- task: NuGetToolInstaller@0
  displayName: Use NuGet 6.x
  inputs:

  inputs:
    packageType: 'sdk'
    version: '8.x'

- task: NodeTool@0
  displayName: Use Node 20.x
  inputs:

- task: CmdLine@2
  displayName: 'Install pgscan'
  condition: succeeded()
  inputs:
    script: 'dotnet tool install pgscan'

- task: CmdLine@2
  displayName: 'Run pgscan <PRODUCTNAME>'
  condition: succeeded()
  inputs:
    script: dotnet tool run pgscan identify --type=nuget --input="$(Build.SourcesDirectory)\<PRODUCTNAME>\<PRODUCTNAME>.sln" --project-name="$(SonarQubeName) <PRODUCTNAME>" --version=$(MajorVersion).$(MinorVersion) --project-type=application --proget-url=https://packages.nl/ --api-key=$(PROGETAPIKEY)

I've tried the build with .Net SDK 6 and 8, but it makes no difference. The log of the failing build step:

What am I doing wrong?

[whatatripp]

Hmm, I'm not totally sure to be honest; when I look at pgscanTool.csproj, I see <TargetFrameworks>net6.0;net7.0</TargetFrameworks>.

So it should work if you have NET6 or NET7 installed?

dotnet tools are a little funny - i think the package has to target the exact verison used to run the build, which in this case is net8.0. We'll add that as a target to pgscanTool, which should fix this.

So it should work if you have NET6 or NET7 installed? I can confirm that it does not do that. 😢

We've just published v1.5.11, which also targets net8.0 for the dotnet tool.
