Implicit references fail transitively #3046

Closed jzabroski closed 5 years ago

jzabroski commented 5 years ago

This issue is effectively the same issue @natemcmaster has reported in https://github.com/aspnet/Docs/issues/9490#issuecomment-442912739 for .NET Core 2.2 -> 3.0 migrations, but the regression goes back to at least 2.1 -> 2.2 upgrades as well:

Preview 1 Known Issue - workaround for NuGet/Home#7342 - projects which do not start with <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web"> will get compiler or runtime errors due to missing Microsoft.AspNetCore.* assemblies. This is most often the case for test projects and class libraries.

Consider the following project structure:

Source
|
 \ WebApi
   |
   \ WebApi.csproj
Tests
|
 \ WebApi.Tests
  |
   \ WebApi.Tests.csproj

and the following definitions for WebApi.csproj and WebApi.Tests.csproj:

WebApi.csproj

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.2</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <!-- Implicit Version to avoid MSBuild targets warning -->
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" />
    <!--<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" Version="2.2.3" AllowExplicitVersion="true" />-->
</Project>

WebApi.Tests.csproj

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.2</TargetFramework>
    <GenerateAssemblyInfo>false</GenerateAssemblyInfo>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk" Version="16.0.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="xunit" Version="2.4.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="xunit.runner.visualstudio" Version="2.4.1">
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers</IncludeAssets>
    </PackageReference>
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <!-- This could really be any ProjectReference that transitively references a metapackage -->
    <ProjectReference Include="..\WebApi\WebApi.csproj" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

If you build the solution, Tests\WebApi.Tests\obj\project.assets.json will show references to Microsoft.AspNetCore.All metapackage for .NET Core 2.1

The only solution is to use AllowExplicitVersion="true":

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" Version="2.2.3" AllowExplicitVersion="true" />

The error message is:

Severity: Error     
Code: CS1705
Description: Assembly 'WebApi' with identity 'WebApi, Version=1.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' uses 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ViewFeatures, Version=2.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ViewFeatures' with identity 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ViewFeatures, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'

@dsplaisted can you take a look?

jzabroski commented 5 years ago

It looks like another possible fix is FrameworkReference, per Nate McMaster. Still, not ideal.

dsplaisted commented 5 years ago

@jzabroski This scenario will be fixed in .NET Core 3.0, which will use FrameworkReferences which will flow transitively.

For 2.2, the ASP.NET Core PackageReference does not flow transitively. However, you should be able to add it to the test project (without a version number, the same as in the web project), and it should work correctly. Have you tried that?

jzabroski commented 5 years ago

@dsplaisted That worked but it's a bit ugly to have to directly include the dependency. I guess it's not much different from how the world worked 4 years ago, so can't complain too much.

Just wondering why this happens so often, and why I'm the one who catches things like this?

One logical reason could be that I define a "cleanfull" target in all my .NET Core projects that does the following:

PS D:\source\John.Zabroski> .\b.ps1 cleanfull
Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.9.21+g9802d43bc3 for .NET Framework
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

  Clean: Configuration=[Release] Platform=[Any CPU] SolutionOrProjectFile=[D:\source\John.Zabroski\Source
  /MySolution.sln]
  Clean: Removing NuGet packages directory
  Clean: Removing MSTest results directory
  Clean: Removing bin and obj directories

This plus an integration test would seem to solve a lot of issues. I'm not trying to give people grief, but I wonder how much time would be saved across Microsoft (and outside Microsoft by its customers!) if such automation existed.

jzabroski commented 5 years ago

@dsplaisted Can you please review my updated Docs pull request? https://github.com/aspnet/Docs/pull/11688 I tried to incorporate your guidance. I left out stuff about FrameworkReference in 3.0 in case that decision changes before final release.

dsplaisted commented 5 years ago

The transitivity issue isn't related to whether your project is clean. It's just how the reference to ASP.NET works in .NET Core 2.2.

We've been iterating on how the ASP.NET dependency is expressed since .NET Core 1.0. While not ideal, the behavior in 2.2 is improved over 2.1, 2.0, etc. We've made some more fundamental changes for .NET Core 3.0, which we believe will be a big improvement and resolve the issues we've had in previous versions with how the ASP.NET dependency works.

jzabroski commented 5 years ago

@dsplaisted Updated original post to reflect my full understanding of the issue.

jzabroski commented 5 years ago

It seems there are two possible positive test cases:

I'll omit negative test cases here, as we don't seem to know the root cause yet. However, the above positive test cases call attention to the fact https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/csproj does not cover how <Project Sdk="X"> values for X may or may not influence metapackages.

jzabroski commented 5 years ago

@dsplaisted Is it possible dotnet host roll forward could be causing you to have difficulty reproducing my issue? How do I share my settings with you? I've just been going through documentation on .NET Core to fully understand what all the knobs are and how they work. See: https://github.com/aspnet/Docs/blob/master/aspnetcore/fundamentals/metapackage-app.md

Quote:

Specifying a version number on the Microsoft.AspNetCore.App reference does not guarantee that version of the shared framework will be chosen. For example, suppose version "2.1.1" is specified, but "2.1.3" is installed. In that case, the app will use "2.1.3". Although not recommended, you can disable roll forward (patch and/or minor). For more information regarding dotnet host roll-forward and how to configure its behavior, see dotnet host roll forward.

So, at compile-time in Visual Studio, you (probably) need to account for whether the user has specified DOTNET_ROLL_FORWARD_ON_NO_CANDIDATE_FX. (I do not have it set, since running $env:DOTNET_ROLL_FORWARD_ON_NO_CANDIDATE_FX in PowerShell Core returns $null).

It also seems the Visual Studio About dialog needs a refresh so that we can consistently nail down why I have this issue you cannot reproduce.

In my case, I have the following Visual Studio "things" installed - but it doesn't list what targeting packs and SDKs I have installed, so you can't really diagnose what roll forward conditions I have:

@dsplaisted I built a brand new machine, I put together a full repro of the issue, but noticed some oddities while trying to reproduce the issue. In this case, your guidance to explicitly include an implicitly referenced metapackage without version in the transitive project fails. Here are the errors - I will upload my full repro sln to GitHub for you to look into.

@dsplaisted https://github.com/jzabroski/ImplicitReferencesFailTransitively Good luck :)

dsplaisted commented 5 years ago

@jzabroski I was finally able to take a look at your repro. The issue is that only Microsoft.AspNetCore.App and Microsoft.AspNetCore.All are supported as versionless package references. In your test project, you have <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core" />. Replace this with <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" />, and it should build successfully.

jzabroski commented 5 years ago

Good catch... I think Resharper may have automatically added a PackageReference for me when it detected I was referencing an MVC Controller.

Sorry, I did not mean to waste your time with the repro - was trying if anything to save you effort. Ah, the art of a good repro :)

As an aside, I am a little perplexed - now if I comment out <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.App" /> everything just works, even after cleaning my bin and obj directories. I'm completely turned around right now.

I'm on 15.9.10 now.

dsplaisted commented 5 years ago

If I comment out that PackageReference in your repro, I get the following error:

UnitTest1.cs(12,25): error CS0012: The type 'ControllerBase' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core, Version=2.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60'.

jzabroski commented 5 years ago

Thanks. That is what I saw before, and am not seeing now. I might just need an eye doctor appointment... 👓

cfguimaraes commented 5 years ago

This issues can be closed?

jzabroski commented 5 years ago

@cfguimaraes Agreed, on .NET SDK 2.2, if I change my reference from <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core" /> to <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core" Version="[2.2.0,)" /> Then warning goes away. I also no longer get a warning about using a FrameworkReference instead.

Similarly, if I then add <TargetFrameworks>netcoreapp2.2;netcoreapp3.0</TargetFrameworks> I get the error message:

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Error   NETSDK1045  The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET Core 3.0.  Either target .NET Core 2.2 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET Core 3.0. WebApi.Tests    C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.2.401\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.TargetFrameworkInference.targets   137

(@dsplaisted @nguerrera Really great error message, btw! You and your team NAILED IT down to the last detail of creating a separate MSBuild targets file so that the user doesn't even have to click into the file to understand the error is with "TargetFrameworkInference"!)
