Visual Studio 2017 RC

[FeodorFitsner]

After installing VS 2017 RC on top of VS 2015 base image:

1. Install AppVeyor vstest.console logger and MSTestV2 support libraries

2. Replace MSBuild in PATH with MSBuild 15.0

3. Install latest NuGet 3.5

4. Pre-cache .NET Core:

   cd %temp% md app1 cd app1 dotnet new dotnet restore dotnet run

5. Install CMake 3.7.1

6. Re-install Git and Git LFS

7. Disable Bonjour Service and IpOverUsbSvc and services:

   Set-Service -Name 'Bonjour Service' -StartupType Disabled Set-Service -Name 'IpOverUsbSvc' -StartupType Disabled

8. Apply workaround for NuGet Build Tasks

[FeodorFitsner]

@onovotny - what version of .NET Core is that?

[clairernovotny]

If you installed the RC, it should be the preview3 version as that's the latest version in the absence of a global.json file pinning the version to something different. That said, the preview2 tooling did that as well, so would be a good update to the 2015 image if you haven't done so already.

@Rpinski @FeodorFitsner looks like that's only available in nuget 4.0 RC which isn't available as a standalone download yet: http://blog.nuget.org/20161121/introducing-nuget4.0.html

[FeodorFitsner]

@onovotny I haven't realized there is a newer .NET Core tooling with VS 2017. I updated Visual Studio 2017 RC image - it's pre-cached now.

[FeodorFitsner]

@jabbera - interesting, looks like with MSBuild 15.0 you can restore with msbuild /t:restore. Have you tried that?

[kzu]

plz add kzu and mobileessentials, tnx!

[RehanSaeed]

@FeodorFitsner Please can you add @ASP-NET-MVC-Boilerplate org account. Thanks!

[FeodorFitsner]

@RehanSaeed - what's a corresponding AppVeyor account name for it?

[kzu]

Would be nice to have an envvar with the "os" / image name used for the build ;)

[IlyaFinkelshteyn]

It is APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE. Updating docs now.

[Rpinski]

@jabbera By the way: NuGet 4.0 RC command line tool is available here: https://dotnet.myget.org/feed/nuget-build/package/nuget/NuGet.CommandLine/4.0.0-rc2-2098

[FeodorFitsner]

@Rpinski - tried that NuGet 4.0 RC command line and it didn't restore packages either.

CMake 3.7.1 is now available and should be included for compatibility with VS 2017

[FeodorFitsner]

@TcT2k CMake 3.7.1 has been installed on Visual Studio 2017 RC image.

[TcT2k]

@FeodorFitsner Thank you, using CMake with VS2017 now works fine out of the box, see: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/TcT2k/wxwidgets/build/102

Just a little reminder that we appreciate your work and that you provided the service as soon as possible.
Thanks :)

[xwipeoutx]

Wow, such speed, thanks!

[ifarbod]

Any idea why my build queue is stuck for a while in 'queued' state? link

[xwipeoutx]

@ifarbod Just wait, it'll get through (at least mine did) - presumably there are fewer machines in the pool.

@FeodorFitsner MSBuild is out of date - I don't think it has today's update in it.

Locally:

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.1.458.808
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

AppVeyor:

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.1.371.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

[FeodorFitsner]

@ifarbod - it should be fixed now - cancel that build and start a new one.

[FeodorFitsner]

@xwipeoutx - right, there is an update to RC which is not applied yet to that image. Will do that today. What a time - "update to RC" :)

[FeodorFitsner]

Visual Studio 2017 RC image has been updated with the latest RC. MS Build displays version 15.1.458.808 now.

[xwipeoutx]

Working perfectly @FeodorFitsner, good job.

[ifarbod]

Works as expected, Thanks @FeodorFitsner .
