Roslyn: Unable to install Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp in VS 2013

[adamsitnik]

Version Used: 1.3.2

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VS 2013 Professional
2. Create new project
3. Try to install Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp package from https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/ feed

Expected Behavior: It got installed

Actual Behavior:

It fails with:
Attempting to resolve dependency 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common (= 1.3.2)'. Attempting to resolve dependency 'System.Collections.Immutable (≥ 1.1.37)'. Attempting to resolve dependency 'System.Reflection.Metadata (≥ 1.2.0)'. 'System.Reflection.Metadata' already has a dependency defined for 'System.Collections.Immutable'.

The problem: we are using this package in BenchmarkDotNet 0.9.8 as the default compiler. People can't install our package now.

Are you using System.Collections.Immutable already somewhere? Remove the explicit reference and try again. You'll probably have to retest if this results in a package upgrade for immutable collections, but it seems the most likely cause to me.

Are you using System.Collections.Immutable already somewhere?

@tanveerbadar No, I am not. I created new project in VS 2013 and tried to install Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp and it fails

@shyamnamboodiripad @Pilchie Hello! Any progress with this issue?

[tannergooding]

@adamsitnik, what version of NuGet do you have installed to VS 2013?

I am currently imaging a machine to see if I can repro the bug.

[adamsitnik]

Hi @tannergooding the version is 2.8.50313.46 (Nuget Package Manager for VS 2013)

Normal computer with VS2013. Attempting to install the Benchmark component yields the same message

Attempting to resolve dependency 'System.Collections.Immutable (≥ 1.2.0)'.
'System.Reflection.Metadata' already has a dependency defined for 'System.Collections.Immutable'.

Sorry, I got pulled off onto other work and forgot to update.

I was able to repro this bug in VS. However, I am not able to get this to repro in VS2015 or with the command line version of NuGet.

My best guess, at this point, is that the package is simply incompatible with the older version of NuGet that is available for VS2013.

I am trying to see if I can find some kind of workaround (for use within VS).

[adamsitnik]

@tannergooding Thanks for the update. Maybe it's a nuget bug? Can you try to reach the Nuget team?

I'm unable to reproduce this with 2015 either. interestingly enough, after
I add the package to the solution using VS2015 and get it to wok, I can
close and reopen the same solution with VS2013 and it works.

@adamsitnik you need NuGet 2.12 for Visual Studio 2013 to use _System.Reflection.Metadata_.

You can find the VSIX here: https://www.nuget.org/downloads

The error is caused by unknown target frameworks in the nuspec.

[adamsitnik]

@emgarten @kasajian Thanks for help! NuGet 2.12 solved the initial issue, but I got new one:

Attempting to resolve dependency 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Common (= 1.3.2)'.
Attempting to resolve dependency 'System.Collections.Immutable (≥ 1.1.37)'.
Attempting to resolve dependency 'System.Runtime (≥ 4.0.0)'.
Attempting to resolve dependency 'System.Resources.ResourceManager (≥ 4.0.0)'.
The 'System.Resources.ResourceManager 4.0.0' package requires NuGet client version '3.0' or above, but the current NuGet version is '2.12.0.817'.

[emgarten]

@adamsitnik you will need to use Visual Studio 2015 for that package.
