Cannot add Serilog.Sinks.File to .NET Core 3.x

See original GitHub issue

Using latest .NET Core v3.0.0-preview5

My proj has:

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.WindowsServices" Version="3.0.0-preview5-19227-01" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore" Version="3.0.0-preview5-19227-01" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore" Version="3.0.0-preview5.19227.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.2" />
    <PackageReference Include="Serilog" Version="2.9.0-dev-01091" />
    <PackageReference Include="Serilog.Extensions.Hosting" Version="2.0.1-dev-00009" />
  </ItemGroup>

I then try to install package Serilog.Sinks.File

I get:

How do I solve this ?

The PackageReference workaround didn’t work for me for some reason. In my case, I’m trying to bundle a .NET Core 3.1 WPF application into a Desktop Bridge project.

For now I’ve had to simply remove the reference to Serilog.Sinks.File, which of course is not ideal. I see there is a fix pending, so I’m hoping that I’ll be able to re-add it soon.

Hi! You can add:

    <PackageReference Include="System.IO.FileSystem.Primitives" Version="4.3.0" />

to your CSPROJ.

I think we may need to update the dependency versions in this package to avoid this annoyance once 3.0 is out.
