Orchardcore: Trouble installing the beta 3 templates

[alexdresko]

Per https://orchardcore.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Templates/README/#installing-the-orchard-cms-templates, I'm supposed to run dotnet new -i OrchardCore.Cms.Templates::1.0.0-beta2-* --nuget-source https://www.myget.org/F/orchardcore-preview/api/v3/index.json. Running that command results in the following error (important parts highlighted):

C:\WINDOWS\system32> dotnet new -i OrchardCore.Cms.Templates::1.0.0-beta2-* --nuget-source https://www.myget.org/F/orcha
rdcore-preview/api/v3/index.json

With a little sleuthing, I got a little closer by running dotnet new -i OrchardCore.Templates::1.0.0-beta3-* --nuget-source https://www.myget.org/F/orchardcore-preview/api/v3/index.json

Unfortunately, now I get (important parts highlighted):

Here's my donet cli version:

C:\WINDOWS\system32> dotnet --version
2.2.101

Kinda stuck at this point. I figure someone here knows exactly what the problem is and can save me another couple of hours of frustration. At least, I hope. :)

[jtkech]

Okay for the SDK 2.2.101 but you also need the Runtime 2.2.0
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.2

[alexdresko]

Unfortunately, that didn't help. Same problem after installing the runtime and rebooting. For the record, I _do_ have the latest version of VS 2017 installed.

Trying to figure out how to diagnose the problem further.

Just for kicks, I tried the following (nuget install... as opposed to dotnet new -i...):

C:\code\test\ocinstall> nuget.exe install OrchardCore.Templates -Version 1.0.0-beta3-70362 -Source https://www.myget.org
/F/orchardcore-preview/api/v3/index.json

Wonder if my feeds aren't configured correctly?

Also for the record, here my dotnet --info:

@jtkech Just got the same error ("Installing OrchardCore.Templates 1.0.0-beta3-70362.C:\Users\Administrator.templateengine\dotnetcli\v2.2.101\scratch\restore.csproj : error NU1202: Package OrchardCore.Tem plates 1.0.0-beta3-70362 is not compatible with netcoreapp1.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0). Package OrchardCore.Templates 1.0.0-beta3-70362 supports: netstandard2.0 (.NETStandard,Version=v2.0)")

..but on a completely different machine. The first machine is a Windows 10 Pro (fully updated) and the second machine is a fully updated Windows Server 2012R2.

Happy to help however I can. Just not sure what to do at this point. I've done quite a bit of testing and digging to no avail.

[jtkech]

Okay, no worries, just tried with the last dev, it works but the doc is not up to date.

With the last dev, try as documented but with OrchardCore.ProjectTemplates.

Also, with the last dev, in your generated projects (or a shared parent directory) you will need a NuGet.config file with the following feeds.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <clear />
    <add key="NuGet" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
    <add key="OrchardCore" value="https://www.myget.org/F/orchardcore-preview/api/v3/index.json" />
  </packageSources>
  <disabledPackageSources />
</configuration>

Note: Hmm; i think that when you tried it with beta2 you would have to use OC.Templates in place of OC.Cms.Templates. Then, because the generated project reference Microsoft.AspNetCore.App without any version, it uses the last one on your machine. So, you would have to install a previous version of the runtime and then use a specific version in your project file.

[Skrypt]

Adding the Nuget OrchardCore feed directly in Visual Studio Nuget parameters normally should work.

[alexdresko]

So, you would have to install a previous version of the runtime and then use a specific version in your project file.

I don't have a project file. I'm trying to install the dev templates in order to create a new project.

I just tried creating a global.json file in my temporary directory to force dotnet.exe to a specific version.

{
    "sdk": {
        "version": "2.2.101"
    }
}

You can get a list of .NET Core versions with dotnet --info. 2.2.101 is pretty much the only version that supports the --nuget-source parameter. So I feel like that part is correct.

[jtkech]

Okay cool.

• Okay, as you i get the same errors when using the same commands.

• Then, did you try by using ProjectTemplates? It works on my side.

  dotnet new -i OrchardCore.ProjectTemplates::1.0.0-beta3-* --nuget-source https://www.myget.org/F/orchardcore-preview/api/v3/index.json

• Then i was able to do dotnet new occms MyApp and run MyApp.

[alexdresko]

By golly, that was it!

Your comment from yesterday probably would have gotten things working for me if I paid a little more attention. In my experimenting, I noticed that OrchardCore.Cms.Templates wasn't working, and I naturally just assumed that OrchardCore.Templates was the new replacement. When you mentioned yesterday to try OrchardCore.ProjectTemplates, I thought I had already done that because I didn't see "Cms" in the name.

I did still have to add the nuget.config file as prescribed, but she's up and working now. Super excited! Thanks for being so patient with me.

[BenedekFarkas]

@sebastienros I reopened this, because the documentation needs to be fixed with the changes mentioned in the last two comments. It's a small change, but I didn't have time to look into it, so I just reopened so it's not forgotten.

[BenedekFarkas]

Ah... So "latest" in the docs is the master branch? That's kind of confusing. I don't remember exactly how I got to that link, but I definitely remember that I didn't see any other option or the ability to switch to "dev".
In that sense, I think "dev" should be the default branch for the docs (that's what I select for BitBucket repos for example), since that's the one that is being worked on and represents the current state of the project most accurately.
