Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson Net6.0 on Net5.0

Description

Paket is not resolving Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson according to the target framework. Its resolving to Net6.0 which is wrong.

error NU1202: Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson 6.0.0 is not compatible with net5.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v5.0). Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson 6.0.0 supports: net6.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0)

Thanks

I would also like to say this is occurring to our team as well. So, bump!

I’m having the same problem in one of my projects. framework: auto-detect is ignored, along with framework: 5.0. I also have a problem in this project where every time I run paket update it adds <AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects> to my csproj file, even if I have redirects: off in my paket.dependencies. That makes me wonder if there’s a deeper problem that’s causing the “ignoring framework restrictions” behavior and other undesired behavior.

I’ve tried cleaning, rebuilding, deleting obj and bin folders, deleting and reinstalling paket. Nothing seems to work and it keeps installing framework 6 packages into the framework 5 project. The only thing that fixes is it restricting the package versions in packet.dependencies and it’s a massive rabbit hole with the Microsoft packages trying to do all the transitive dependencies.
