Can find project.json inside of new project about generator-aspnet HOT 18 CLOSED

The updated generator uses the new MSBuild for .NET Core process, which means the dependencies are stored in the .csproj file and the project.json is now gone.

You can either upgrade your .Net Core tooling to the newest MSBuild preview version, or downgrade this generator.

For any future reference, the command above has a typo, which took me about 5 minutes to notice 😂. It should be:

npm install -g [email protected]

from generator-aspnet.

Been dealing with this issue for a couple of days. Thanks to all for the info. It really has to do with what version of dotnet core sdk is installed. To find out which version you have just dotnet --version

Two resolutions:
From @mplacona
npm install -g [email protected]
or
use the the latest version just install the latest version of DotNet from:
https://github.com/dotnet/cli
The latest version download worked right away for me on Mac OS X Sierra.

To make sure that you're using the version supporting project.json:

npm install -g [email protected]

The 0.3.* version supports only .csproj content

Thank you very much. Do you have a link for me to setup MSBuild on Mac?

You should not have to do this. It should be a part of updated dotnet runtime download (RC4).
All required tooling to build and run updated content are expected to be part of runtime (i've been porting all content for RC4 and tried this first hand (dotnet/templating#266):

@arukomp Thanks!

@computerex
I understand. The recent update to yo generator has to be done as MS released RC4:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2017/02/07/announcing-net-core-tools-updates-in-vs-2017-rc/
No docs have been updated yet to discuss new tooling and dotnet features I believe:

Some additional information for those interested:

https://github.com/dotnet/cli

Anyone know when we can expect a stable release of Core 1.0 that doesn't involve changes like these?

from generator-aspnet.

I tried it over the weekend on my Mac and it did not work. Without the project.json I can not follow the Getting Started Tutorials because commands like dotnet restore and such do not work.

Any idea on how to downgrade the generator?

from generator-aspnet.

I'm having the same issue on OS X as well, unfortunately.

I installed the latest dotnet core runtime. Latest of this generator and ran into this problem. So some things are out of sync. @mplacona saved my day. thx!

Just wanted to update everyone with my experience as it can help many of you.
After taking a look at @computerex reply to the issue it seems that you can still run the dotnet restore and other commands with the project.json file instead of a .csproj file. Take a look at the https://github.com/dotnet/cli/blob/rel/1.0.0/Documentation/ProjectJsonToCSProj.md as it explains some of these things.

You can have multiple versions of the .NET Core installed and while using a global.json file you can tell it to use an older version of dotnet. Instead of running a migration and running into issues. This should help since most tutorials out there are still using older versions. Hope this helps..

Can't open the .csproj in VS 2015. Is this latest generator only producing VS 2017 project files?

@cosmoKenney
The VS 2015 does not support .NET Core based on .csproj (and as I understand there is no intention to support this):

We are shutting this repo down, it's been replaced with dotnet new.
