I've cloned directly from the dotnet/corefx repo when this commit was at the top of the master branch , and using Developer Command Prompt for VS2017/2019, I ran build -restore, build prior to running build -test. the former two scripts ran with no problem, however trying build -test gave me hundreds of following errors before failing with 465 errors.

C:\Users\gotos\.nuget\packages\microsoft.dotnet.corefxtesting\1.0.0-beta.19121.4\build\core\Core.targets(189,5): error MSB3073: The command "C:\Users\gotos\source\repos\corefx\artifacts\bin\tests\System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.Tests\netcoreapp-Windows_NT-Debug-x64\RunTests.cmd C:\Users\gotos\source\repos\corefx\artifacts\bin\testhost/netcoreapp-Windows_NT-Debug-x64/ C:\Users\gotos\source\repos\corefx\.dotnet\ C:\Users\gotos\source\repos\corefx\artifacts\tools\" exited with code -2147450735.

I do have a build.binlog file from the build -test run, but GitHub seems to refuse it due to its size (34,577KB). Should I submit it somewhere and leave a link here?

[Clockwork-Muse]

Did you build tests first? build -test may not be sufficient.

What do you get if you do this (may have to log out to release locks first):

clean -all
build -restore
build -build -buildtests
build -test

This has been affecting me too, although explicitly building the tests via the build -build -buildtests seems to have given me at least _mostly_ valid output (the initial part of the run still can't find any SDKs, but starts showing up later).

[Gnbrkm41]

@Clockwork-Muse it definitely did reduce the number of errors(465 -> 15). The failing ones still do fail with the same error message though.

[danmosemsft]

@ViktorHofer ?

[ViktorHofer]

Running locally right now and trying to reproduce.

Command: .\build.cmd -restore -build -buildtests -test

[Gnbrkm41]

Please do ask if you need any extra details regarding this.

[ViktorHofer]

Found the reasons for the failures. The order of the action chain is wrong. I forgot to push a change which I made locally. Thanks for submitting the issue! Will close this when the fix landed in master.

[ViktorHofer]

Please wait a few more hours till we consume the change in corefx :)

[tmds]

@ViktorHofer I'm hitting this issue. Can I work around it locally?

[ViktorHofer]

This is already fixed. Make sure to be in latest master.

[tmds]

Is there something I should clear? I'm at f44142b855330ca9274827a230b8ad9a3ccda357 and I get these failures. I tried rm -rf ~/.nuget/packages but that didn't help.

[ViktorHofer]

I just tested this locally, the errors are gone as expected. Sounds like you are running on Unix, I will test on Ubuntu also. Yes I would recommend doing a full clean: ./clean.sh --all

[ViktorHofer]

Works fine on Ubuntu (WSL). Please try it again after cleaning your repository. Make sure that the artifacts directory is gone.

[Gnbrkm41]

Actually... I still am experiencing the same issue. Tried removing and re-cloning the repo from the latest one. Can I re-open the issue?

[ViktorHofer]

Sure.

[ViktorHofer]

What command do you use?

@tmds does that also still affect you?

[Gnbrkm41]

It is the same as before. build -restore, build then build -test.

[Clockwork-Muse]

@Gnbrkm41 - did you specifically build the tests: build -buildtests (#35661)

[ViktorHofer]

1. Make sure that git log tells you that you are on the latest master, preferrably from today.
2. Use this command: build.cmd -restore -build -buildtests -test.

[Gnbrkm41]

Right, I must have missed something from the docs... I remember build -test taking care of all the things, was missing that one. 😶 Blame my ignorance. Ran build & build -buildtest -test and works fine now (some tests do fail for some reason but it's irrelevant here)

Feel free to close the issue again, sorry about that.

[ViktorHofer]

No reason to apologize. build -test also built the tests before but with a change that went into master last week we fixed the CLI experience. Not your fault! Make sure to read https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/35661 :)

[tmds]

I was also missing the --buildtests.

[ViktorHofer]

Note that now the single hyphen (cross-plat) syntax also works: -buildtests, as described in https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/35661
