Execution fails when using dotnet 7.x or 8.x to target net6.0 project

[plainionist]

I installed F# lint as dotnet tool as described in the documentation (version 0.24.0) and then tried to run it for a single fsproj on the command line like this:

dotnet fsharplint lint TheProject.fsproj

and i got:

Lint failed while analysing system\Bake\Bake\Bake.fsproj.

Hi @plainionist thanks for reporting this bug!

Can you try running FSharpLint with dotnet 6.x instead of with dotnet 8.x? Just to see if it's a valid workaround.

[plainionist]

i tried

dotnet fsharplint --fx-version 6.0.9 lint system\Bake\Bake\Bake.fsproj

but got exactly same error.

Lint failed while analysing system\Bake\Bake\Bake.fsproj. Failed with: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.

[knocte]

dotnet fsharplint --fx-version 6.0.9 lint system\Bake\Bake\Bake.fsproj

Shouldn't the fx-version flag be after dotnet and before fsharplint?

[baronfel]

@knocte that's correct - the CLI parser used by the .NET Runtime (not the SDK) is very simplistic and only accepts flags between dotnet and the command to be run.

[plainionist]

even though you are right according to dotnet help, it doesn't seem to work for tools

dotnet --fx-version 6.0.9 fsharplint lint system\Bake\Bake\Bake.fsproj

Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Possible reasons for this include:

• You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
• You intended to execute a .NET program, but dotnet---fx-version does not exist.
• You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

[knocte]

Oh bummer! Then do you mind uninstalling 8.0.100 and try? This way it will run with 6.x or 7.x.

[plainionist]

After having uninstalled .NET 8 SDK, .NET 7 has been taken - unsuccessfully

dotnet fsharplint lint system\Bake\Bake\Bake.fsproj

Lint failed while analysing system\Bake\Bake\Bake.fsproj.
Failed with: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The system cannot find the file specified.
Stack trace: at Ionide.ProjInfo.ProjectLoader.loadProject(String path, BinaryLogGeneration binaryLogs, FSharpList`1 globalProperties)

Basically same error message just different verison of System.Runtime not found

[plainionist]

After having uninstalled .NET 7 SDK as well, finally, FSharpLint was executed successfully 👍

[knocte]

Oh, so with .NET6 it works? What version of .NET6 do you have?

[plainionist]

yes - works with .NET 6 - i have following versions installed

but i would prefer being able to install .NET 8 again and still use FSharpLint 😉

but i would prefer being able to install .NET 8 again and still use FSharpLint 😉

Of course, I never stated that this is not a bug. I was trying to see if there's a workaround so that we understand the bug better.

I might push a commit later today that might or not help with this bug; I will let you know so you can test a pre-release.

@plainionist an update was pushed to nuget, can you test new prerelease version "0.24.1--date20240129-0357.git-d05ca87" please?

[plainionist]
