Sdk: No executable found matching command "dotnet-repl"

[gavdraper]

After installing the latest .Net CLI for OS X the REPL has stopped working. I'm on OS X 10.11 and get the following output

Gavins-MacBook-Air:~ gavindraper$ dotnet repl
No executable found matching command "dotnet-repl"

This worked fine before installing the latest pkg

[BusyJay]

Now it complains

% dotnet repl
No executable found matching command "dotnet-repl-csi"

Though I can launch repl by csi。

Is this a bug?

I am having the same issue, on OSX:

Any clues?

I also seem to be getting this issue with dotnet compile, with the freshest build provided by the link on the README.

Output of dotnet --version:

I think for some reason the non-builtin commands may not be getting included in the zip file, since looking through it I don't see any mentions of dotnet-compile or the like.

edit: This also seems to be happening with the MSI installer, as well.

[jamesqo]

Just tested from an Ubuntu 14.04 VM on Cloud9 using the Getting Started instructions from the website, seems to be happening there too.

[blackdwarf]

All, REPL is not going to be distributed with the CLI core package.

@jamesqo are you still seeing the behavior? I cannot repro with the latest bits?

[adamralph]

@blackdwarf are you going to remove the REPL line from the help output? I guess that is what is generating the expectation right now.

[jamesqo]

@blackdwarf Yes, it looks like it's still happening with the latest version, with both compile and repl-csi. (You can try it yourself at the link to Cloud9 I posted.)

[naamunds]

REPL is not going to be distributed with the CLI core package.

@blackdwarf Will it be distributed in a different package for rc2, or has it been cut altogether? Also, it seems like it should be removed from the "help" output either way.

[MichaelSimons]

@naamunds There is already a PR (https://github.com/dotnet/cli/pull/1530) to remove REPL from the help.

[adamralph]

:confused:

[blackdwarf]

Thanks @MichaelSimons. @naamunds REPL was not "cut" in a sense that it was discontinued. We are working towards having a story on how to get it in the CLI via the existing extensibility mechanisms (e.g. "tools") but at this point we are heads down doing other stuff, so the work is standing still.

[blitzd]

First exposure to dotnet core I run the command line and think 'oh how nice, a REPL'. Then the error, then googling the error, then reading through this and the PR and... ah yes, there's the MS that I know!

If you can't be bothered to update the usage to reflect the actual functionality that is present (for months on end, even), how do you think that looks to people who are just picking up these tools for the first time?

[blackdwarf]

Moving this to RC2 to track removal of "repl" from the command help. This removal is tracked in the dotnet/cli#1530 PR.

Fixed by dotnet/cli#1530
