Aspnetcore: microsoft.aspnetcore.app.2.1.0-preview2-final.nupkg , corrupt ???

[eobeda]

Is the microsoft.aspnetcore.app.2.1.0-preview2-final.nupkg package built correctly ( served via Nuget.org ) ?

It is only 4k and does not appear to contain any valid 'lib' files. Also the "C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\" directory is not populated with any preview2 files, so IIS Express fails within VS.

Thanks for checking
Ed

UPDATE: With the release of the "2.1.0-preview2-final shared framework." files, things are now working as would be expected. Thanks very much for the help and support

Instructions will be published shortly.

Microsoft.AspNetCore.App is a metapackage. It doesn't contain binaries; it points to other packages which do.

I'm having all sort of issues with the nuget package not finding other compatible packages when targeting netcoreapp2.1 ? is this working; this can be reproduced by using the standard aspnet.core web mvc template app selecting .net core 2.1 from within VS2017 15.7.0 preview 3

As mentioned in the error, you're missing the 2.1.0-preview2-final shared framework. It hasn't been published yet to https://aka.ms/dotnet-download because we're having issues. In the meantime, you can get it here: https://github.com/dotnet/versions/tree/master/build-info/dotnet/product/cli/release/2.1-preview2#aspnet-core-runtime-installers-and-binaries

I’m also seeing that swashbuckle seems to have issues when using the 2.1.0-preview packages I’m investigating and will raise an issue when I know more and can give steps on how to repo with a link to a github repo

Closing issue as the ASP.NET Core file issue has been resolved. The additional third party concerns, unfortunately are part of a "preview release" and will need to be addressed separately with those vendors.
