Runtime for migration bundle creation in Net7

When I create a migration bundle and do not specify a runtime, it looks like the subsequent build step does not specify a runtime. The creation of the bundle (from the verbose logging: dotnet publish --runtime win-x64) however does specify a runtime. This part then fails with ‘error NETSDK1112: The runtime pack for Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-x64 was not downloaded.’.

I can work around this by running a build specifying the runtime, and then a ‘dotnet ef migrations bundle --no-build’ succeeds.

So for example on my windows dev machine this fails:

dotnet ef migrations bundle -r linux-x64 -v

error: ‘error NETSDK1112: The runtime pack for Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.linux-x64 was not downloaded. Try running a NuGet restore with the RuntimeIdentifier ‘linux-x64’’

and this succeeds:

dotnet build -r linux-x64
dotnet ef migrations bundle -r linux-x64 --no-build

I think that when creating a bundle, the build and publishing of the bundle should specify the same runtime.

I wasn’t able to repro it either. I think we’re missing a piece of the puzzle.

FYI that hack shouldn’t be needed anymore in net 7.0.

True, but trying to figure out which version of the SDK they’re using is a lot more work than just leaving it in. 😉

Here’s a repro project that takes dotnet ef out of the picture. The bundle project (that we call dotnet publish on) looks like this:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net7.0</TargetFramework>
    <PublishSingleFile>True</PublishSingleFile>
    <IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>True</IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract>
    <ValidateExecutableReferencesMatchSelfContained>False</ValidateExecutableReferencesMatchSelfContained>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design" Version="7.0.2" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <ProjectReference Include="..\App\App.csproj">
      <!-- HACK: Work around dotnet/sdk#10566 -->
      <GlobalPropertiesToRemove>SelfContained</GlobalPropertiesToRemove>
    </ProjectReference>
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>
