Orchardcore: Your documentation and examples are a joke

Created on 24 Jan 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: OrchardCMS/OrchardCore

I am following your getting started & how to's that are quite frankly a joke.
How do you expect adoption if you basic examples do not work?

I am using VS2017, or 2019, doesnt matter.

https://orchardcore.readthedocs.io/en/dev/docs/getting-started/
https://orchardcore.readthedocs.io/en/dev/docs/getting-started/templates/#adding-orchard-core-nuget-feed

I am installing from here
https://www.myget.org/F/orchardcore-preview/api/v3/index.json

On install, the packages that are added are NOT the same as in the image video on this page, here at this section
https://orchardcore.readthedocs.io/en/dev/docs/getting-started/templates/#adding-orchard-core-nuget-feed

When I add these to my startup they both fail

services.AddOrchardCms();

Error CS1061 'IServiceCollection' does not contain a definition for 'AddOrchardCms' and no accessible extension method 'AddOrchardCms' accepting a first argument of type 'IServiceCollection' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

app.UseOrchardCore();

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CS1061 'IApplicationBuilder' does not contain a definition for 'UseOrchardCore' and no accessible extension method 'UseOrchardCore' accepting a first argument of type 'IApplicationBuilder' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

If your going to release software, please test your install instructions, anyone would think you are Microsoft

@superluminalK How do you expect people to respond to you with this kind of title? The software is still in development so you should expect that some things might not work perfectly. These documentations are accurate and works for most people maybe there is a detail that you forgot. I'm keeping this open but if you expect to get free help from us, show some respect.

@superluminalK looks like the packages didn't get restored correctly. If you don't know how to do this please ask and I am sure someone will help you if not myself.

Maybe try to build from the command line (dotnet build) if VS doesn't seem to restore things correctly, or double check that the feed is valid in your Nuget settings.

@Skrypt @sebastienros sorry for the above, i will have a talk with mom when i get home.

@superluminalK It's joke if it causes amusement for you then forget it as like every other jokes. But if you opened this issue with frustration then definitely it's not a joke - see it as an opportunity to seek help or provide help by contributing to documentation.
