Unable to build

[ffes]

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: 2017 v15.9.10 Professional and v15.9.9 Community Edition
• This extension: Git commit 5c6b62b

Description

I am not able to build the current master.
I want to find out why the extension doesn't work with the GitLab CE in our LAN.

Steps to recreate

1. Clone the repository from GitHub
2. Open in Visual Studio 2017.9.10
3. Run Build Solution.

Current behavior

I get this error building GitLab.VisualStudio.csproj (other projects within the solution build fine):

Expected behavior

It builds without an error

Tried to solve this by

• Upgrade all the nuget packages. This fails because some most projects are still targeted to v4.6.1
• Retarget all the projects to v4.7.2. This fails because GitLab.VisualStudio.csproj becomes incompatible.

Try the new version, it should be OK

As I mentioned in my original post, I am using the latest version (at the moment of writing): commit 5c6b62b of 2019-03-17 17:01 +0800

Had the same problem.
Check your Visual Studio installation and verify, that you have the correct .NET Development Tools installed
