Mirrored repository from one service to another

So. I have a case where I develop and build my source on a Gitlab instance, but I sync the repository to a Github.com account. I’d like my Sourcelink to point to the Github.com repository.

So far, I’ve gone over the docs a few times, adding and removing the Microsoft.SourceLink.GitHub and Microsoft.SourceLink.GitLab packages. In all cases, I don’t seem to get the Targets files included in my project, due to errors like:

..\ReflectedCast.csproj(30,27): error MSB4066: The attribute "Include" in element <SourceLinkGitHubHost> is unrecognized.

..\ReflectedCast.csproj(28,25): error MSB4066: The attribute "Include" in element <SourceLinkGitLabHosts> is unrecognized.

...\ReflectedCast.csproj(30,14): error MSB4066: The attribute "Update" in element <SourceRoot> is unrecognized.

...\ReflectedCast.csproj(31,14): error MSB4066: The attribute "Remove" in element <SourceRoot> is unrecognized.

I’ve messed with f.ex. the unpacked Targets files in my “.nuget” cache folder, and verified that do indeed get read (a syntax error in those files, is also a build error). What I don’t get, is how those files can use f.ex. <SourceRoot ..>, but I can’t.

I see. A similar scenario is set up in the integration tests, where we mirror from GitHub to VSTS.

This approach should work for your as well - you’ll need to add package references to both GitHub and Gitlab SourceLink packages and add a target to your projects similar to this one:

This is gonna work better: https://github.com/dotnet/sourcelink/pull/142
