Invalid argument in UseGitVersion VS Task

[bernard-arnaud]

Hi,

We're having issues when using the UseGitVersion task on a dotnetcore 3.1 project.
Here are the logs :

And here's the yaml part of the task :

  - task: UseGitVersion@5
    inputs:
      versionSpec: '5.1'
      updateAssemblyInfo: true

[arturcic]

Version 5.1.2 targets .net core 3.0, we have not released a version that works on 3.1

[bernard-arnaud]

Do you know if 3.1 support is planned in a future release ?

[arturcic]

Yes, version 5.1.3 when released

[neolution-ch2]

Just tried that by using 5.1.3, but the issue persists

Is there another problem? Haven't had an issue so far on our local Windows buildservers, but the error above occured on a Ubuntu-16.04 image.

[nloum]

I'm getting this issue as well on Ubuntu 18.04 in GitHub Actions, with both .NET Core SDK 3.1.101 and .NET Core SDK 2.2.108.

Here are the logs for the failure with 2.2.108:

I ran the following task using dotnet core sdk 3.1.101:

  - task: gittools.usegitversion.gitversion-task.UseGitVersion@5
    displayName: 'Calculate version number'
    inputs:
      versionSpec: 5.x

and got the following debug output:

Hopefully it helps.

[arturcic]

Can you try this new extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=gittools.gittools? The UseGitversion will not be updated so any fixes will be done there

[neolution-ch2]

@arturcic So GitTools is now ready for consumption? Because just a few days ago UseGitVersion was the recommended way to go.

[arturcic]

Not yet but o need feedback and you can give it a try

[dnperfors]

I did try it with GitTools and got the same error when running the setup task:

btw. this is on Azure Devops 2019 Server

[Breederveld]

Not sure if this helps anyone, but moving the dotnet executable and replacing it with a symlink to the new location solves this issue.
So this can be used as a work-around and also points to the problem: the readlink command returns no value if the original file is referenced and this is somehow not correctly resolved in the tool.

[dnperfors]

That is not the best workaround when you install dotnet using the installer task from azure devops, since it requires an ugly script to do that.

[Breederveld]

@dnperfors I agree it's not the nicest work-around, but it is currently the best as it is the only one I have seen so far. If you know of a better one, I would really like to hear it as I'm also struggling with the same issue.

[dnperfors]

@Breederveld, The workaround I am thinking about now would be to just use a bash scripts instead of these build tasks... Not sure how readable these will be though...
