Fail to compile MAUI Blazor Android only in Release build when there is a file starting with dot (.) in wwwroot folder

datvm commented 5 months ago

Description

When compile a MAUI Blazor project for Android in Release build, if there is a file like .init in wwwroot file, it fails with the following message:

PS C:\Users\lukev\source\repos\ConsoleApp1\MauiApp1> dotnet build -f:net8.0-android -c:Release
  Determining projects to restore...
  Restored C:\Users\lukev\source\repos\ConsoleApp1\MauiApp1\MauiApp1.csproj (in 1.28 sec).

droid]

    4 Error(s)

Renaming/removing the file would make the error go away but sometimes it's not an option.

This is my workload because I am not sure which to pick from the list:

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new project using .NET 8 MAUI Blazor Hybrid template.
Create a new file (Ctrl Shift A in Visual Studio) in wwwroot folder and name it something like .init.
Build the project in Release mode: dotnet build -f:net8.0-android -c:Release

Can repro this issue on the latest 17.11.0 Preview 1.1(8.0.21&8.0.40). 22882

@jonathanpeppers Would this be an issue with the Android SDK?

@samhouts I removed the area-blazor label intentionally. It's not a blazor issue 👍

This is happening to me too. I thought I misconfigured something.

This all of the sudden began happening to both my mac and windows machines when trying to build release for android. However this issue has been opened for a while. Did you manage to fix this somehow @datvm ?

datvm commented 1 month ago

@Khongchai unfortunately not. This is some issue with MAUI. For us, we had to change the code of the external library so that we can use another file name. I know this may not be helpful for everyone.

@mkArtakMSFT is it happening to MAUI in general? In that case I should rename the title to reflect it.

Hi, same for me ( if files with the first character '.' exists in wwwroot then Release build crash. e.g. .gitignore, .prettier ).

Full message :

C:\Program Files\dotnet\packs\Microsoft.Android.Sdk.Windows\34.0.138\targets\Microsoft.Android.Sdk.ILLink.targets(34,11): error MSB4186: Invalid static method invocation syntax: "[System.String]::Copy().StartsWith ('Xamarin.AndroidX.')". Method 'System.String.Copy' not found. Static method invocation should be of the form: $([FullTypeName]::Method()), e.g. $([System.IO.Path]::Combine(`a`, `b`)). Check that all parameters are defined, are of the correct type, and are specified in the right order.

After it was removed, compiled without problems.

Wow that really is what's failing my build. Thanks @SequPL

Btw I added this to my csproj instead of removing .prettierrc and .gitignore

 <ItemGroup>
      <Content Remove="wwwroot\.prettierrc" />
      <Content Remove="wwwroot\.gitignore" />
</ItemGroup>
