Install failure - error in project.json

[mattdwen]

I'm attempting to install SecretManager via the following command line with dnu` v1.0.0-beta5-11566:

dnu commands install SecretManager

However the install fails, referencing an error in the SecretManager project.json:

PS C:\Projects\diva-focus> dnu commands uninstall SecretManager
SecretManager command is not installed.

The package ends up inside C:\Users\Matt Dwen\.dnx\bin\packages\SecretManager\1.0.0-beta4 but attempting to execute user-secret results in a PowerShell ObjectNotFound dump.

I'm seeing the same. Did you find a resolution?

[davidfowl]

There are some regressions with beta5

[BrennanConroy]

Did you install SecretManager before? Cause your uninstall is wrong, you need to do uninstall user-secret

[mattdwen]

I have not installed SecretManager before. Have also attempted on a clean Win10 VM.

[BrennanConroy]

Like David said, there is a regression, but it doesn't apply to your version of dnx probably. Also, are your nuget feeds pointing to nuget.org? Because you are getting beta4 versions. Don't cross the streams!

[rajeshchawla]

Understand it's a regression, any thoughts for a workaround?

[BrennanConroy]

Use beta4 or beta5 less than version ~11582

[rajeshchawla]

Not quite sure how to do that.

I'm missing how to specify the version on the dnu command install and the command Install-Package SecretManager -Pre in the powershell console doesn't seem to get the right version.

Any hints?

I'm using beta4 (dnx-mono) on Ubuntu and getting the same error.

Hi, I experienced the same issue. Solved it by adjusting version number in project.json locally; see linked issue (https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/601#issuecomment-102780011).

DNX versions on my machine:

With kind regards, Stefan

I followed Stefan's suggestion above and this resolved the problem for me.

[mattdwen]

Yup, Stefan's fix worked for me as well.
