Identityserver4: Ton of errors when opening IdentityServer4 project in source?

[SpiritBob]

How exactly can I fix them, and why has it been crippled in such a way?

I can't make any edits to the project, because even if I do, I won't be able to debug it.

EDIT: On a top level, when running the build scripts, I get the following error, for each and every project:

 error CS7034: The specified version string does not conform to the required format - major[.minor[.build[.revision]]]

RTM? https://github.com/IdentityServer/IdentityServer4/#how-to-build

Do you have this version of the .NET SDK installed?

https://github.com/IdentityServer/IdentityServer4/blob/master/global.json

[SpiritBob]

Yes I do. I even have newer versions of the SDK, along with the latest preview version.

If we manage to successfully build the application, will that remove all the errors the project has? I really can't edit the source, as many references, or classes appear to be missing.

[brockallen]

Then I'm not sure, as (of course) it works in our build environments. @leastprivilege?

[SpiritBob]

@brockallen I managed to fix this by adding a folder in the root directory called nuget!

I'm not sure why this happens, and why it's required, but it fixed all the missing dependencies/errors.

Thoughts?

[leastprivilege]

Well - this folder is required because the nuget packages go there.

But it is not required that you manually create it. I just cloned a fresh copy and ran the build script and it was auto created. Same happens on the CI servers.

So not sure.
