Dotnet publish does not detect OSX El Capitan RID correctly

[schellap]

Follow these repro steps:

Obtain latest CLI from: https://dotnetcli.blob.core.windows.net/dotnet/dev/Binaries/Latest/dotnet-osx-x64.latest.tar.gz

mkdir temp
cd temp
dotnet init
dotnet restore
dotnet publish

Error:

'' cannot be published for '' 'osx.10.10-x64' 

@brthor, @piotrpMSFT route to appropriate owner. Blocks dotnet scenario and dotnet/corert#498

@schellap

This is on El Capitan, correct?

[schellap]

This is on El Capitan. Yes.

[schellap]

Is the rid different?

[brthor]

RID for El Capitan is 'osx.10.11-x64' IIRC

[schellap]

But I am not specifying any RID. Just running these steps. Should work or no?

[brthor]

Can you try explicitly specifying the RID during restore and publish?

mkdir temp
cd temp
dotnet init
dotnet restore --runtime osx.10.11-x64 
dotnet publish --runtime osx.10.11-x64 

[schellap]

This is only on el-capitan. It doesn't block the CoreRT PR as I specified because it is using Yosemite.

[schellap]

Works with the RID.

This needs to be fixed here. We have a naive way to find the current RID and its broken.

Tracking in dotnet/cli#498

This worked for me:

dotnet restore --runtime osx.10.10.10-x64

@richlander That didnt work for me on OSX 10.11. The thing that actually works is that I specify "--runtime osx.10.11-x64".
