alc.exe not working or undocumented change in usage #5797

Closed navdotnetreqs closed 4 years ago

Describe the bug

Running our PS-compile script suddenly stopped working with newer docker images. Alc.exe gives no output whatsoever.

To Reproduce

Steps and to reproduce the behavior:

Unpack c:\run\ALLanguage.vsix
- Run alc.exe, eg. c:\run\ALLanguage\extension\bin\alc.exe /project:"C:\myproject" /packagecachepath:"c:\run\prereqs" /analyzer:"c:\run\ALLanguage\extension\bin\Analyzers\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.CodeCop.dll"

-> no output

I have not managed to get ANY output from alc.exe with any parameters.

Expected behavior

alc.exe should compile the project and output debug information, as it previously has

5. Versions:

Docker-inside 16.0.11240.12052-fi

Any ideas on this?

Can you provide detailed instructions on how to reproduce this? It seems related to https://freddysblog.com/2020/02/26/the-world-after-february-18th/ , but without a repro, it is hard to say.

Unpack alc.exe from the vsix-file in the container. Then run it. With ANY parameters.

We do the same in our gates and we have not seen any issues. Is there any additional information that you can provide that might help get to the bottom of this?
