NuGet package install issues about cs8dotnetcore3 HOT 7 CLOSED

The package name is not packtlibrary.dll.
It is packt.cs8.sharedlibrary

Look at the solution project's .csproj and copy the package reference from there

Thanks. I didn't realize that you need to go into the \Chapter06\PacktLibrary project first and build that DLL.

However, I still get an error when trying to use the NuGet package manager in VS2019

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'PeopleApp'.

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error NU1105 Unable to find project information for 'C:\Source Code\C# 8.0 and .Net Core 3.0\Chapter06\PacktLibrary\PacktLibrary.csproj'. If you are using Visual Studio, this may be because the project is unloaded or not part of the current solution so run a restore from the command-line. Otherwise, the project file may be invalid or missing targets required for restore. PeopleApp C:\me\Source Code\C# 8.0 and .Net Core 3.0\Chapter06\PeopleApp\PeopleApp.csproj 1

I had to add the DLL manually as a reference to the project to get it to work. Not sure why the NuGet manager can't install the "Packt.CS8.SharedLibrary" normally.

The point of that section is not to reference the class library project. The point is to compile, package, and publish the class library to the public NuGet feed and then reference that package from the console app. If you're fixing the errors by directly referencing the class library then your bypassing the issue. Are you able to reference any other NuGet packages like Newtonsoft.Json? Can you please include your .csproj so I can see your references? It should look like this:

OK, I think I must've built them out of order; I was reading chapter 6 and then opened the PeopleApp project.
Thanks for you help. Great book!

Ah! When you talked about "a ton of Packt CS8 nuget packages" it sounded like your were working on Chapter 7. I should always remember to request more information before jumping to conclusions. ;-)

If you download solution projects, like PeopleApp and PacktLibrary in Chapter06, then its best to always start by running "dotnet build" in the console app. That would have compiled the PacktLibrary as well as the PeopleApp and you would have avoided seeing errors for the statement: using Packt.Shared;

I will add a note to the sixth edition pointing that out. So thanks for the feedback and I hope you continue to enjoy the book.

No problem. I assumed you saw the path I included about the error "C:\me\Source Code\C# 8.0 and .Net Core 3.0\Chapter06"

Thanks for the "dontnet build" tip!
