Exception During Build: Could not resolve Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.Abstractions

[andr9528]

As requested by Jerome Laban, on Discord, i am creating this discussion here with additional details.

Below is a zipped .binlog file as requested by Jerome of the failed build, with MSBuild log file verbosity set to Diagnostic.
Tracker.Frontend.Uno_Debug_AnyCPU_Build_2024-11-13T14_45_20.4604877+01_00.zip

The errors shown on the following image can be seen in more detail in the above zipped .binlog file.

My Directory.Packages.props looks like the following. Notice that the package it fails to resolve is not part of it.

<Project>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <ManagePackageVersionsCentrally>true</ManagePackageVersionsCentrally>

    To update the version of Uno, you should instead update the Sdk version in the global.json file.

My whole project can be found here: https://github.com/andr9528/Tracker
Unless it is some issue specific to my PC, it should also have the build error from cloning and building the Frontend.sln.

Don't know if it is related, but i did notice that the version of Uno Platform i am using got updated prior to developing today.
It went from "Uno.Sdk": "5.5.32" to "Uno.Sdk": "5.5.43" in the global.json file.

Thanks. There's an error message prior to the build error here:

Which tends to mean that there's an implicit reference added in some of the other projects.

So my project has alot of different .csproj files, and thus i am attempting to have multiple solution files for different areas (modules).

During my attempts to solve the issue i failed to do a clean on Tracker.Shared.Persistence.Core. After cleaning it, and rebuilding, the issue was gone.

Not sure if perhabs the error message i received could be improved. Had i known which project it wanted said package from, i'd have caught the fact of me missing the cleaning.

Thanks for the help anyways.

[andr9528]

Should i close the discussion?

Thanks for the update. With .NET 9, this code that can generated particular error has been addressed.
