Arc commander not working on Ubuntu 16.04

[HajiraJabeen]

The execution of bash.sh shows a few exceptions and finally, exits on pressing any key "parse_git_dirty:8: DISABLE_UNTRACKED_FILES_DIRTY: parameter not set " /.../arcCommander/build.fsx (146,12)-(146,26): FSharpErrorSeverity.Warning FS1182: The value 'standardParams' is unused /.../arcCommander/build.fsx (194,32)-(194,45): FSharpErrorSeverity.Warning FS1182: The value 'msBuildParams' is unused Warning: Paket resolved a FSharp.Core with version '5.0.0.0', but fake runs with a version of '4.7.0.0'.

@HajiraJabeen do you mean build.sh? Are you trying to build the binaries or do you just want to use it? precompiled binaries can be found here

Your error seems not to be realted to the project itself. All of these are just warnings, not exceptions:

the only actual error is parse_git_dirty:8: DISABLE_UNTRACKED_FILES_DIRTY: parameter not set and seems to me like a misconfiguration of git of some sorts?

Can you execute the commands inside the build.sh by hand?:

dotnet tool restore
dotnet fake build

also, did you follow these steps if you want to build the binaries yourself? https://github.com/nfdi4plants/arcCommander#develop

[HajiraJabeen]

Yes I was following the same, running by hand returns the same error When I did "build.sh -t release", The error changed to "Status: Failure Script reported an error: -> BuildFailedException: Target 'BuildDocs' failed. -> One or more errors occurred. ('dotnet fsdocs build --eval --clean --property Configuration=Release --parameters fsdocs-package-version 0.0.1' failed in ./) -> 'dotnet fsdocs build --eval --clean --property Configuration=Release --parameters fsdocs-package-version 0.0.1' failed in ./ " . .

Despite this, when I try to run "dotnet ArcCommander.dll", I get "It was not possible to find any compatible framework version The framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '3.1.0' was not found.

• The following frameworks were found: 5.0.5 at [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App] You can resolve the problem by installing the specified framework and/or SDK. "

[kMutagene]

I see, we need to adapt the instructions there. You need the 3.1 .NET runtime for executing the binaries, so it is best to just install the 3.1 SDK (you only have 5.0.5): https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/3.1.

You still do not have to build the binaries yourself if you only want to test the command line tool, the published binaries should be self contained and not require any setup.

The build target realease fails for you by design, because you can not push the binaries to package registries. Please use CopyBinaries or just Build. Seems like the build completed successfully for you anyways, so installing above SDK should do the trick.

[HajiraJabeen]

Thanks, works with 3.1, I suggest it should be updated in the prerequisites ".NET SDK >= 3.1.00 (should roll forward to .net 5 if you are using that)"

[kMutagene]

The new readme should clarify every issue that came up here ;)
