https://github.com/dotnet/core-setup/pull/2039 was thought to fix this, but MVC still fails after this change.

I figured out what was causing my problem. @colindekker maybe this will work for yours too.

In my case, it began with simply a misunderstanding of what was causing the error to be thrown. Turns out I was using the NToastNotify library which uses embedded views. @colindekker are you using any embedded views?

Based on https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/issues/6021#issuecomment-290745919,

I added <MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish>false</MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish> to my .csproj and it ran just fine.

Here's my new working .csproj,

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
    <MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish>false</MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" Version="2.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="NToastNotify" Version="3.0.2" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Tools" Version="2.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Root cause suspected to be https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/1130.

Fixing now.

eerhardt picture eerhardt on 19 Apr 2017

PR up to fix this: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/pull/1134.

Will need to get that merged into dotnet/sdk and then that build merged into dotnet/cli.

This is fixed by above PR

Verified fixed in the latest ASP.NET builds.

@eerhardt / @mikeharder I'm seeing the same error ('Cannot find compilation library location for package <package-name>') with a barebones MVC under Windows, when I reference a DLL file in the web app. Do you think that is addressed by the fix as well? Note that the DLL is just a file, not a NuGet package, and by the error text it sounds like something is trying to treat it as a package. It seems that it happens for an MVC web app (not an Empty one), when targeting netcoreapp2.0 or net461.

EDIT: same results using dotnet run with the SDK/CLI latest bits (2.1.0-preview1-006984),

Hi, I'm receiving this error when I try to deploy to Azure. I'm referencing the stable build .NET Core 2.0 SDK, I think. I had no problems running it locally, but now this error is getting thrown on Azure. I don't know why this is happening or how to fix it. Can anyone help?

I'm trying to see where the rabbithole leads, so been adding the missing assemblies to a copy of what got deployed to Azure one by one, these are the assemblies missing. These are the assemblies:

  • Microsoft.Win32.Registry
  • System.Security.Principal.Windows
  • System.Data.SqlClient
  • System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe
  • System.Security.AccessControl
  • System.Security.Cryptography.Cng
  • System.Security.Cryptography.Xml
  • System.Security.Principal.Windows
  • System.Text.Encoding.CodePages

But then the next one is the Microsoft.NETCore.App package itself....

PS, the above csproj also does not work without the following.
PPS: I'm making a copy without any keys or passwords etc. anywhere to link here as a reference. of the project.

<PreserveCompilationContext>true</PreserveCompilationContext> <MvcRazorCompileOnPublish>false</MvcRazorCompileOnPublish>

Link to project. For completeness I am on VS2017 15.4.0, preview 6.0

@colindekker - I took the app you provided in your link and published it to an azure app service: http://myassembly20171012100507.azurewebsites.net/. It seems to be working for me.

The one thing I had to do to the app was commenting out the following lines:

```c#
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
//services.ConfigureDataProtectionPersistence();
...

  services.AddIdentityServerConfiguredForCloudscribe()
      .AddCloudscribeCoreEFIdentityServerStorageMSSQL(connectionString)
      .AddCloudscribeIdentityServerIntegrationMvc();
      //.ConfigureIdentityServerSigningCredentials(Configuration, Environment);

```

because I didn't set up and configure those services. I don't expect those to cause the problems.

To try to debug your issue - can you dotnet publish the app locally and run it using dotnet bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.0\publish\MyAssembly.dll? Does that work correctly?

The error you are reporting above is what happens when you don't have any assemblies in the refs folder which are needed at runtime. After you publish, can you ensure the refs folder is populated fully?

Another thing to try is to create a new default ASP.NET Core MVC project and publish it to make sure it is working correctly. If that isn't working, then there are larger issues.

I figured out what was causing my problem. @colindekker maybe this will work for yours too.

In my case, it began with simply a misunderstanding of what was causing the error to be thrown. Turns out I was using the NToastNotify library which uses embedded views. @colindekker are you using any embedded views?

Based on https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc/issues/6021#issuecomment-290745919,

I added <MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish>false</MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish> to my .csproj and it ran just fine.

Here's my new working .csproj,

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
    <MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish>false</MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" Version="2.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="NToastNotify" Version="3.0.2" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Tools" Version="2.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Yes, that seems to be the issue! The cloudscribe project has embedded views

Trying to deploy with docker on Linux. But Error : Cannot find compilation library location for package 'Microsoft.Win32.Registry' . Is still there.. any help

This issue is fixed in Asp.Net Core 2.1

eopeter picture eopeter on 15 Jun 2018

If I run dotnet build on ubuntu, and then dotnet ./bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/MyApp.dll still on ubuntu, everything works fine.

But if I run dotnet build on ubuntu, and then dotnet <mapped-volume-path>/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/MyApp.dll inside a docker container (through a mapped volume), I get this Microsoft.Win32.Registry error.

Inside the container it just works when I run dotnet publish on ubuntu and then dotnet <mapped-volume-path>/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/publish/MyApp.dll inside a docker container.

This is a common scenario for debugging inside a container without having to rebuild the docker image each time the code changes, I wanted to continue debugging running just dotnet build instead of dotnet publish.

Is it the normal behavior? Why can't I run inside the container the dll built on ubuntu with dotnet build instead of dotnet publish?

dotnet build and dotnet run operations are meant to be "development" time scenarios, and thus, on a single machine. dotnet publish is the operation to allow you to execute an application on a different machine than what it was built on.

Since dotnet build expects that it only needs to build for the current machine, it will take some shortcuts. For example, not all dependencies get copied to the bin folder. Instead, dependencies that come from a NuGet package will remain in the NuGet cache, and are loaded from there at runtime. You can see that dotnet build is machine-dependent by inspecting the ApplicationName.runtimeconfig.dev.json file in your output folder. It will have machine-specific paths inside of it. These paths are used to load dependencies that aren't in the output folder.

It is not supported to build on one machine (outside of the docker container), and then to execute on another machine (inside the docker container). I can think of 2 ways to fix this:

  1. dotnet publish outside of the docker container, and then execute inside of the docker container.
  2. Use dotnet run inside of the docker container.
    a. Note that dotnet run will do dotnet restore, dotnet build under the covers. So the reason this works is because the build happens on the same machine (in the docker container).

Hi @eerhardt,

Thank you for the clear explanation. In our case we started having the problem after integrating our docker containers with visual studio for debugging. As explained in their documentation, in order to provide a fast debug experience, the application are build on the host and then mounted in the container. Where it runs from the build output folder.

And indeed, when comparing the output some dll's are missing:

  • visual studio environment:
$ ls | grep Razor
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.Extensions.dll
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Language.dll
Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Razor.dll
RazorEngine.NetCore.dll
RazorLight.dll
  • production environment:
$ ls | grep Razor
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.Extensions.dll
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Razor.dll
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.RazorPages.dll
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Language.dll
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Runtime.dll
Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.dll
Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Razor.dll
RazorEngine.NetCore.dll
RazorLight.dll

I'll report this through the visual studio issue tracker.

Kind regards,
kobellem
