Issue: Upgrade to language-ext 4.2.8 (codegen) ended in error while build

[LaszloLueck]

After updating to laguage-ext 4.2.8 i cannot build any project anymore.
Error is
CGR1001 CodeGeneration.Roslyn.BuildTime.targets(73, 5): [CGR1001] CodeGeneration.Roslyn.Tool (dotnet-codegen) is not available, code generation won't run. Please check https://github.com/AArnott/CodeGeneration.Roslyn for usage instructions.

I will figure out if it is a specific (sub) library of language-ext

[LaszloLueck]

Here it is a more specific information:
Currently the build fails after updating
LangguageExt.CodeGen to version 4.2.8
After downgrade to 4.2.7 all works fine

[louthy]

I’ll check (I have to run a manual step to the codegen package, which I’m sure I ran, but it must have broken somehow).

[louthy]

I've checked the package, and it all looks good. Have you done anything differently with this upgrade? Also, make sure these dependencies are on the correct version:

• CodeGeneration.Roslyn.BuildTime (== 0.6.1)
• CodeGeneration.Roslyn (== 0.6.1)

[LaszloLueck]

Hi,
thats crazy.
Before,
CodeGeneration.Roslyn was implicitly installed as version 0.7.63
CodeGeneration.Roslyn.BuildTime was implicitly installed as version 0.6.1

I´ve downgraded CodeGeneration.Roslyn as you suggested to version 0.6.1 but without luck.
Any version combination fails with LanguageExt.CodeGen version 4.2.8

I´ve tested that issue with an new, empty dotnet (6) core console app.
Insert the following imports:

And the build failed.
If i downgrade LanguageExt.CodeGen to version 4.2.7 --> the build failed.
If i remove the explicit added
CodeGeneration.Roslyn
CodeGeneration.Roslyn.BuiltTime
than the build succeeded.
If i changed the implicit imports to the following versions, the build would also be succeeded:

But, as i update LanguageExt.CodeGen to >4.2.7 the build would failed!

Regards,
Laszlo

Have you recently moved to a new machine? The code-gen library needs the .NET 2.1 SDK to run.

[LaszloLueck]

No,
i´ve not moved or removed to or from a machine.
You wrote:

The code-gen library [needs the .NET 2.1 SDK] https://github.com/AArnott/CodeGeneration.Roslyn#prerequisites) to run.

That´s confusing, because the version 4.2.7 does not need the .NET 2.1 SDK (because it is working on my machine)?

Here are some informations about my setup.
Ah, and yes, it is on aarm

No matter what environment (linux, windows, macos, x64, aarm, arm64) I use, the problem is always the same.
I´ve created a completely new dotnet core 6 project, use languageext.codegen (4.2.8 or 4.2.9) from nuget and the build fails.
If i use languageext.codegen <4.2.8 the build works fine.

[louthy]

Hmm, does seem odd. Nothing has changed in the CodeGen project. If using an old version works, it'd be best to stick with that for now.

I've frozen development on the CodeGen project, the new Source-Generators based project will eventually take it over and I'll maintain CodeGen in a frozen state for those that can't move over. The only reason the version number keeps going up is because it's part of my standard deployment tooling - it has no dependencies on the other libs, so staying on an old working version won't cause any problems at all.

I will try and find some time over the next few days to take a look though, it does seem a bit strange that it'd just stop working now.

[LaszloLueck]

Fine for me. 4.2.7 works perfect for me.
Maybe someone else has the same problem, then it is already addressed here.
Thanks and regards,
Laszlo

@louthy , what is the up-to-date guidelines to integrate the source generations ?

[DannyMeister]

Thank goodness I ran into this thread which caused me to try downgrading to 4.2.7. That finally let me use codegen in a .NET 7 project. I had already tried DOTNET_ROLL_FORWARD=LatestMajor and --roll-forward LatestMajor to no avail (and verified with ProcMon that my msbuild file shenanigans had indeed been properly passed along to the dotnet codegen process). Requiring an older sdk version won't be an option for certain tightly controlled build environments.

This way, I can get "[Union]" in the intellisense, and run the app:

    <PackageReference Include="LanguageExt.CodeGen" Version="4.4.3" />
    <PackageReference Include="LanguageExt.Core" Version="4.4.3" />
    <PackageReference Include="CodeGeneration.Roslyn.Tool" Version="0.7.63">
      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers</IncludeAssets>
    </PackageReference>

Though, I have this warning:

Severity	Code	Description	Project	File	Line	Suppression State
Warning	CGR1002	Using GeneratorAssemblySearchPaths is deprecated, please use CodeGenerationRoslynPlugin ItemGroup. See https://github.com/AArnott/CodeGeneration.Roslyn for more info.

MIF1.Modules	C:\Users\YT\.nuget\packages\codegeneration.roslyn.tool\0.7.63\build\CodeGeneration.Roslyn.Tool.targets	40

I honnestly don't know if I would need this: <Sdk Name="CodeGeneration.Roslyn.Plugin.Sdk" Version="0.7.63" />

Anyone? @louthy Am I missing something? This doesn't work at all:
`

<PackageReference Include="LanguageExt.CodeGen" Version="3.4.10"
                  PrivateAssets="all" />

<PackageReference Include="CodeGeneration.Roslyn.BuildTime"
                  Version="0.6.1"
                  PrivateAssets="all" />

<DotNetCliToolReference Include="dotnet-codegen" Version="0.6.1" />

`

Thanks!

[louthy]

You need 0.6.1, the later CodeGeneration versions were broken.

I am also getting this: CodeGeneration.Roslyn.BuildTime.targets(73, 5): [CGR1001] CodeGeneration.Roslyn.Tool (dotnet-codegen) is not available, code generation won't run. Please check https://github.com/AArnott/CodeGeneration.Roslyn for usage instructions.

I tried setting DOTNET_ROLL_FORWARD=LatestMajor and it did not help.

I also tried downgrading to 4.2.7 as suggested above (#1071 (comment)) and it did not work either.
