dnu pack fails when project.json is readonly.

[phenning]

When running dnu pack on a project where the project.json is a read-only file, the following exception and callstack is generated. This impacts SCC (TFS) scenarios where the project.json is not checked out.

/cc @muratg @victorhurdugaci

@victorhurdugaci Why is the InstallBuilder doing anything with the project.json here?

[muratg]

@victorhurdugaci , can you have a look?

[davidfowl]

This is a simple fix. a One liner actually.

[davidfowl]

I can fix it if @victorhurdugaci is working on something else. I'd suggest waiting on @troydai's change though.

[victorhurdugaci]

I can fix it too, I have time for this :)

[davidfowl]

Great!

[davidfowl]

dnx/src/Microsoft.Framework.Runtime/DependencyManagement/LockFileReader.cs

Line 21 in f0a852a

using (var stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read))

File.OpenRead should fix it.

[davidfowl]

That file moved into the package manager and there should be a new one from @troydai 's change in the runtime

Hi, I am getting the exact same error and stack trace. My problem is trying to run an automated build on a TFS build agent. It copies the file to ...\Release\app\project.json and sets it to read-only. After that the build fails with the same stack trace you are showing at the top of this thread. I have not been able to run a build. TFS 2013 update 4 build controller and agent. Please update.

[victorhurdugaci]

@Darkonekt , what DNX version do you use?

[Darkonekt]

when I look in the .dnx folder for my user I see 1.0.0-beta-4 for all four folders under runtime.
I have tried both CORECLR and the the other one 'clr' both X86. If I compile the solution from the BuildAgent using visual studio it works. But the Automated Build fails everytime. In my stack trace I can see the DNX.targets file is from visual studio 2015 because I can see in the path v14.0.

[victorhurdugaci]

Unfortunately, the fix is only in beta5. The only solution is to update to the latest bits. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Darkonekt]

How can I do that? I don't see the beta5 available as a nuget. Please advice how to do the update. This is the only thing preventing me from running an automated build. Thank you.

[Darkonekt]

I am probably abusing your time. But let me know or point me in the right direction on how to update my DNX installation to latest beta. This is very urgent to me.

[BrennanConroy]

dnvm upgrade -u

[Darkonekt]

nice thanks I will try it

[Darkonekt]

ok I upgraded to version using dnvm install and passing "latest". which installed version beta4-11566
I modified the default.txt to use that version. Tried both clr and coreclr as default. but I get the same error message. Is this the latest version where the fix for this is supposed to be?

[victorhurdugaci]

Nope, that didn't bring the latest dev bits. It should be beta5-number.

Did you run dnvm upgrade -u ?

From here:

DNVM has the concept of a stable and unstable feed. Stable defaults to NuGet.org while unstable defaults to our dev MyGet feed. So if you add -u or -unstable to any of the install or upgrade commands you will get our latest CI build of the DNX instead of the one last released on NuGet.

[Darkonekt]

My dnvm power shell script under C:\Program Files\Microsoft DNX\Dnvm DOES NOT contain a -u or -unstable switch. This is the function function dnvm-upgrade {
param(
[Alias("a")]
[Parameter(Mandatory=$false, Position=0)]
[string]$Alias = "default",

    [Alias("arch")]
    [ValidateSet("", "x86","x64")]
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [string]$Architecture = "",

    [Alias("r")]
    [ValidateSet("", "clr","coreclr")]
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [string]$Runtime = "",

    [Alias("f")]
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [switch]$Force,

    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [string]$Proxy,

    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [switch]$NoNative,

    [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)]
    [switch]$Ngen)

dnvm-install "latest" -Alias:$Alias -Architecture:$Architecture -Runtime:$Runtime -Force:$Force -Proxy:$Proxy -NoNative:$NoNative -Ngen:$Ngen -Persistent:$true

}

As you can see there is no such switch any ides?

[victorhurdugaci]

Ok, no worries. We can fix that :)

Edit the PATH environment variable and remove C:\Program Files\Microsoft DNX\Dnvm from it. Then, follow the instructions in the Home repo to install Dnvm. You have to run the command below from a command prompt:

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "&{$Branch='dev';iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aspnet/Home/dev/dnvminstall.ps1'))}" 

Once you are done with that, you should get a new Dnvm in %userprofile%\.dnx\bin which supports the -u argument

[moozzyk]

I think I had to remove dnvm* from C:\Program Files\Microsoft DNX\Dnvm\ otherwise the script would refuse to overwrite the files and dnvm would not get updated.
