Error in `eng/common/tools.ps1`: The variable '$vsMajorVersion' cannot be retrieved because it has not been set
See original GitHub issueA community member reported an error trying to build Razor in a docker container:
Using xcopy-msbuild version of 17.2.1 since VS version 16.3 provided in global.json is not compatible
The variable '$vsMajorVersion' cannot be retrieved because it has not been set.
More context in the issue: https://github.com/dotnet/razor-tooling/issues/7005
The issue seems to be in eng/common/tools.ps1 where there is a code path that indeed doesn’t set $vsMajorVersion:
https://github.com/dotnet/arcade/blob/main/eng/common/tools.ps1#L414-L415
Should that path throw? Or set the variable to something? Or is there something we can do on the Razor side to prevent this happening?

Thanks. I guess I read the “not too low” comment above to mean “not too low, but could be better” 😃
Usually it’s only updated when VS requirements change. For instance, if you started targeting 7.0, it would make sense to require 17.4, since 7.0 cannot be targeted with 17.3 and earlier.
