Orchardcore: Compile error: The 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor' SDK is required on Themes and Modules for Razor files to be precompiled.

[orchardc]

I got this error message when compiling a theme project, the error comes from a recent build.

In the theme's csproj file, I have this included already:

<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor" Version="2.2.0" />

The only solution I found is to comment the followings in the OrchardCore.Module.Targets.targets file, but the error will come back again with a new build.

Condition="'@(RazorGenerate)' != '' and '$(ResolvedRazorCompileToolset)' != 'RazorSdk'"
Text="The 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor' SDK is required on Themes and Modules for Razor files to be precompiled." />

<Target Name="EnsureRazorSdk" BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild"> <Error Condition="'@(RazorGenerate)' != '' and '$(ResolvedRazorCompileToolset)' != 'RazorSdk'" Text="The 'Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor' SDK is required on Themes and Modules for Razor files to be precompiled." /> </Target>

you try to add it at your theme's csproj file;

 <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers" />
</ItemGroup>

[orchardc]

Those are included in csproj file already:

[orchardc]

<ItemGroup> <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc" Version="2.2.0" /> <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers" Version="2.2.0" /> <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor" Version="2.2.0" /> <PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.DisplayManagement" Version="1.0.0-beta3-71653" /> <PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.Module.Targets" Version="1.0.0-beta3-71653" /> <PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.ResourceManagement" Version="1.0.0-beta3-71653" /> <PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.Templates" Version="1.0.0-beta3-71653" /> <PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.Theme.Targets" Version="1.0.0-beta3-71653" /> <PackageReference Include="OrchardCore.Users" Version="1.0.0-beta3-71653" /> </ItemGroup>

All above were added via NuGet.

You don't need a package reference on Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor. You need to specify it as the project sdk through the 1st line of your project file.

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor">

And as @zl2fxy said you also need a direct package reference on Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.

[orchardc]

problem solved, thanks both! :)

@jtkech Is this still a valid solution? The above solution doesn't seem consistent with the themes in the RC2 source.

Yes we are still using the razor sdk for our themes, unless those that are only using liquid files, no razor files
