Could you provide one example csproj? for example, GSTouch.Android.csproj. looks like the restored packages are different between MacOS and windows

[Dabbel]

@zhili1208 only the csproj file, without any other files?

If you want to try to restore the packages yourself this will not work because we use a private nuget server with own nuget packages. But how could the restored packages be different as both calls has the same value for "-Source" and the "-NoCache" parameter?

[zhili1208]

@Dabbel Firstly I want to understand why package graph is different for the same csproj. If all referenced package are public, I can start from only csproj. Otherwise, I might also needs the project.asset.json file. Yes, the restored packages should be the same. But for example, I can find package "Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization.de" are restored on mac, but can't find it in the windows log. so I'm trying to figure out why.

[Dabbel]

Here are already the two project.asset.json from the obj folder, for the csproj file im waiting for the permission NuGet.zip

[Dabbel]

And the csproj file GSTouch.Android.csproj.txt

Hope this will help

[zhili1208]

Could you find any project which referenced Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization.de in your solution?

[Dabbel]

In the solution there is no project that has a direct reference on Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization.de and none of our own NuGet Packages has a dependency on that package two.

[Dabbel]

I now have a second project with a similar problem, the restore fails on mac but works on windows.

This project is simpler and i could provide it to you, is there any way i can do this private?

[zhili1208]

Please send to my email, lzhi[at]microsoft.com

[Dabbel]

Have send you a mail with project and all nuget packages that we created ourselfs

[Dabbel]

Any updates on this?

[jainaashish]

@Dabbel can you please check the dotnet sdk and runtime on your windows vs mac? It looks like you've different dotnet sdk versions in different environment which is making it to resolve some of the package's version differently which is why it's throwing restore error in one case.

You can run dotnet --info command to see the versions on both the machines or may be copy it here as well.

Updated dotnet to version 2.1.201 on mac and still getting the same errors.

This bug is very critical for us because we can't build our software anymore

[Dabbel]

[mishra14]

@zhili1208 Have you looked at this yet?

[Dabbel]
