Static-web-apps: GitHub Actions not working against dotnet 5

[ffMathy]

In this repo, my main branch builds successfully, but this branch does not (which has updated to dotnet 5):
https://github.com/sponsorkit/sponsorkit.io/runs/2384318944?check_suite_focus=true

I have no idea of what to do about this.

Only .NET Core 3.1, Node.js 12, and Python 3.8 function apps are supported in Static Web Apps at this time.

I filed a similar issue here (because I thought it was a Functions build error): https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-dotnet-worker/issues/399

@anthonychu interesting. When will there be support for dotnet 5?

It's been quite a while since it came out. I'm sure a lot of people just assume they can use it within a couple of months.

Thank you for your elaboration so far 🙏

[anthonychu]

@ffMathy We don't have an ETA for supporting new languages or new language versions in Static Web Apps managed functions.

In the coming months, we plan to provide the ability to integrate a function app that you manage yourself with a static web app. This would allow you to create your own .NET 5 function app and use it in Static Web Apps.

[ffMathy]

@anthonychu that sounds great! Do you have a link to a public roadmap somewhere or something similar?

[ffMathy]

Also, just wanted to mention that with the VS Code extension, it is possible to select dotnet 5 when creating a project.

That's what fooled me. Might want to remove that option, as new users will probably choose it too 🙏

[anthonychu]

Sorry about that. This is tracked here and should be fixed this month: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azurestaticwebapps/issues/323

We currently don't have a public roadmap outside of issues in this repo. It's something we can look into publishing in the future.

[ffMathy]

That's okay 👌

Just glad you are responding so quickly and elaborate.

Looking forward to the feature that allows integrating a custom function app!

[ffMathy]

In the meantime, I will keep using dotnet 5. Not planning to ship my app within the next couple of months either way.

[ffMathy]

@anthonychu congratulations on the GA of Static Web Apps! 🥇 🎉

And great that you implemented APEX domains and Azure Function linking!

Now that you're in GA, is there an estimate for supporting .NET 5 in the fully managed Static Web Apps functions?

[anthonychu]

We're looking into how we can add this support but we don't have an ETA. For now, please use the bring your own functions capability of the new Standard plan.

[ffMathy]

Thanks. How high on the priority list is this?
