Error initializing task PackageFilter: Not registered task PackageFilter.

[jaredbroad]

We're getting an error from TravisCI trying to build an open source library (xbuild / mono) https://travis-ci.org/QuantConnect/Lean/builds/122678825

Xarmin forums mention this but don't have a solution, https://forums.xamarin.com/discussion/56597/error-initializing-task-packagefilter-not-registered-task-packagefilter-what-does-this-mean

The error is: ../Baseclass.Contrib.Nuget.Output.2.1.0/build/net40/Baseclass.Contrib.Nuget.Output.targets (CollectNugetOutputFiles target) -> error : Error initializing task PackageFilter: Not registered task PackageFilter.

We can't remove it from our project. I'm hoping you have a fix or work around we can use.

Thanks!

Hello Jared,

looked into the problem and it looks like every msbuild feature which is used is supported by mono build.

The package filter task uses the WindowsBase assembly and that might not be available, could you try to install libmono-windowsbase-cil-dev before building?

Kind regards Daniel

Thanks for the reply Daniel - the package didn't exist in Ubuntu 12.04 (which distro are you using?) so I tried using lib-mono-winbase-4.0 which was already installed --

Build with libmono-windowsbase-cil-dev: https://travis-ci.org/QuantConnect/Lean/builds/122804722

Doesn't exist is package list: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/mono

sudo apt-get install libmono-windowsbase-cil-dev

libmono-windowsbase4.0-cil is already the newest version.

Thank you for your help -- what should I try next? (We're attempting to get GeckoFX browser working cross platform)

Hi,

currently I've no environment set up to build with Mono and the error you get is the result of another error which is not visible in the logs.

I think the best way would be to create a simple csproj file containing a task written in c# like the one which you can find in the Baseclass.Nuget.Output.target file which does a simple hello world.

From what I read mono supports this, so the next steps would be to modify the hello world code to use the same references as the PackageFilter task, to understand what it is that is not supported.

I made a guess when thinking it would be WindowsBase, but maybe it's not.

If you like you could also try to setup this project to build on travis.

[jaredbroad]

Thanks for direction @romerod, I tested the Contrib.Nuget.Output on a console application -- with nothing but a hello world in Mono 4.2.3 /Ubuntu 14.04 It failed with the exact same error. You can see the code used here: https://github.com/jaredbroad/Contrib.Nuget.Test

To repeat:

apt-get install mono-complete git
git clone https://github.com/jaredbroad/Contrib.Nuget.Test
cd Contrib.Nuget.Test
xbuild

I think the problem is this: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12171

[romerod]

There is some work being done to support Paket, also for that case it might be easier to get rid of the InlineCodeTask

[romerod]

Could you try this package and tell me if it works? https://www.nuget.org/packages/Baseclass.Contrib.Nuget.Output/2.2.0-xbuild01

I have set up the repo to use TravisCI for you -- please fork my personal repo, then enable the TravisCI build for that repo. This will mean you can rapidly test in your own account. You can enable travisCI for free at TravisCI.org

See the example matching output here identical to the linux hack box I setup. https://travis-ci.org/jaredbroad/Contrib.Nuget.Test/builds/124581736

[romerod]

Ok, it works now, some of the logging doesn't work but the copy process was executed. https://travis-ci.org/baseclass/Contrib.Nuget.Test/builds/124596647 Could you try it in the bigger project?

[ridermw]

If anyone gets to this page and is using QuantConnect.Lean on Xamarin, this is what you do:

1. Right Click on the QuantConnect.Views packages folder and click Add Packages...
2. Search for Baseclass.Contrib.Nuget.Output
3. Check Show pre-release packages
4. Choose version 2.2.0-xbuild02

This should fix the build error.

@bosco2010 we actually don't need it anymore as we switched browser plugins ("cross platform" gecko fx relies on it but only works in windows, go figure...so we switched to mono browser in the UX project). Essentially its an old dependency I believe that we should remove now.

@romerod sorry about the topic/thread jump. Will close issue.
