System.Management.Automation not found

[Yucked]

Describe the bug

Setting up a docker container from scratch using alpine image. Everything builds as shown in the screenshot but whenever I create a new C#/PS notebook, it begins throwing exceptions and whatever is entered in the notebook and ran hangs forever.

.NET 6 SDK and Runtime is installed. PWSH 7.2.0 is also installed. Both are in path as well.

Please complete the following:

Which version of .NET Interactive are you using? (In a notebook, run the #!about magic command. ):
The preview version (1.0.257301) since the one on nuget requires .net 5.

Have the same issue on arch linux with .NET 6 (6.0.100) and aspnet-runtime 6.0.0
'microsoft.dotnet-interactive' (version '1.0.257301')

Same issue for me in EndeavourOS, tried installing powershell (because apparently System.Management.Automation is part of it) and still didn't work.

I am also seeing this issue in AlamaLinux 8 with dotnet-interactive version 1.0.260601+9d1ecd3c06ba93e59bfef3842d2660c08d9e2ce5. I have ensured that powershell 7.2.0 is installed and launches successfully. I am seeing this error both when trying to use botnet-interactive with a jupyter notebook as well as just launching dotnet-interactive stdio

One thing I noticed is that the error being thrown is for System.Management.Automation, Version=7.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 while the only available 7.2.0 PowerShell package from the Microsoft repository includes System.Management.Automation, Version=7.2.0.500, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35 I don't know if it is possible to get the 7.2.0.0 DLL from somewhere or if that might be the issue.

Same problem on Arch
Are there any updates on this?

[tulx17]

For Arch user, use the sdk build from AUR, it's newer than the community version. I don't know why but this do the trick.

I had the same error:

Failed to start the Kernel.

Unhandled exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Management.Automation, Version=7.2.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'. The system cannot find the file specified.

File name: 'System.Management.Automation, Version=7.2.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'

Thanks for the tip @tunbk1002. I was finally able to fix this on Manjaro. I downloaded these from the AUR:

aur/dotnet-host-bin                 6.0.3.sdk201-1         6.0.4.sdk202-1
aur/dotnet-runtime-bin              6.0.3.sdk201-1         6.0.4.sdk202-1
aur/netstandard-targeting-pack-bin  6.0.3.sdk201-1         6.0.4.sdk202-1
aur/dotnet-targeting-pack-bin       6.0.3.sdk201-1         6.0.4.sdk202-1
aur/dotnet-sdk-bin                  6.0.3.sdk201-1         6.0.4.sdk202-1 

[obratim]

It is an issue in Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK package.

System.Management.Automation is stored in same git repository and is referenced as project, not as a package. As the result in the nuspec file written that it depends on a one version of System.Management.Automation, but inside nupkg archive under ref/net8.0/ there is another version of System.Management.Automation.dll.

This confusion causes error.
