GitHub Actions keep failing, .NET 6 related?

[DaniW42]

Describe the bug
The build using GitHub Actions fails while doing the build-windows part. It might be .NET 6 related but I am not really sure as I have never worked with Actions and don't fully understand whats going on.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download latest Remotely Installer
   wget https://github.com/lucent-sea/Remotely/releases/latest/download/Remotely_Server_Installer
2. Make it +x
   chmod +x Remotely_Server_Installer
3. Run it with sudo
   sudo ./Remotely_Server_Installer
4. Choose not to download per-built package
5. Choose /var/www/remotely/ as directory
6. Entered webserver url. It is a local webserver, only accessible from LAN (domain.local)
7. Use Caddy on Ubuntu
8. Entered GitHub username and PAT
9. Create latest official release

Performing server install.  GitHub User: DaniW42.  Server URL:
http://remote.beautypark.local/.  Installation Directory: /var/www/remotely/.
Web Server: UbuntuCaddy.  Create New Build: True.  Git Reference:
v2021.08.26.1335

Now a infinite loop of Waiting for GitHub build completion. and Get artifacts response status code: OK starts.

But, GitHub Actions throws an error an the step Execute unit tests and stops build.

Run dotnet test
  dotnet test
  shell: C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.EXE -command ". '{0}'"
  env:
    Solution_Name: Remotely.sln
    Configuration: Release
    PfxBase64: 
    PfxKey: 
    ServerUrl: http://remote.beautypark.local/

Remotely Version
Server: v2021.08.26.1335 Release
Agent: didn't got that far

Expected Behavior
I think it should have built the agents and downloaded them to my local server.

Additional Context
I retried the build process again but it keeps failing at the same stage.

Could this maybe related to d77263e ?

[aj-bayanat]

I get the same error when trying to build using github actions. It fails on the windows build saying "The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET 6.0. Either target .NET 5.0 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET 6.0."

Could this maybe related to d77263e ?

I think we need to change

Remotely/.github/workflows/build.yml

Lines 44 to 45 in d77263e

	- name: Install .NET Core
	uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1.9.0

to reference 2.2 instead of 1.9

@stevesobol Can I get you to look into this?

From the virtual-enviroments/macos

macOS 10.15 info
System Version: macOS 10.15.7 (19H1615)
Kernel Version: Darwin 19.6.0
Image Version: 20220118.8
Installed Software
Language and Runtime
.NET SDK 2.1.302 2.1.403 2.1.507 2.1.607 2.1.701 2.1.818 3.1.101 3.1.201 3.1.302 3.1.416 5.0.102 5.0.202 5.0.302 5.0.404

.net6 is not listed as a version that build.yml can use as of yet. Need to remove the dotnet-version: 6.0.x reference, as it isn't available.

To Test, I change that to
with:
dotnet-version: |
6.0.x
5.0.x

and it compiled fine.

From the virtual-enviroments/macos

the mac-build part worked also fine for me. It is the windows-build which keeps failing.

[rcschaff82]

Try changing the dotnet-version to what I have above, and see if it corrects your error. The Windows build uses the macos build. Not really sure how it even get's past the mac build if there is no .net6 available on the build servers.

[DaniW42]

@rcschaff82 Could you point me to where I need to change it? Do I need to push changes before starting the Installer?

[rcschaff82]

modify Remotely/.github/workflows/build.yml

Line 47.

[DaniW42]

running
sudo find /home/user/Remotely -type f -exec grep -H 'dotnet-version' {} \;

showed me

/home/user/Remotely/.github/workflows/run_tests.yml:        dotnet-version: 6.0.x
/home/user/Remotely/.github/workflows/build.yml:          dotnet-version: 6.0.x
/home/user/Remotely/.github/workflows/build.yml:        dotnet-version: 6.0.x

I changed all of them but, unfortunately it keeps failing.. :-(

[rcschaff82]

are you pushing it to your github account. That's where the build.yml is important

[DaniW42]

Yes, did it in DaniW42@fe8578e

I was a big dummy and forgot that when I forked this the "latest" branch name didn't come with it, as such I needed either rename the master branch to latest or use "master" as the reference.
