GitVersion .Net Core (Preview) Azure DevOps task error

[roryprimrose]

Just tried out the new Azure DevOps task for .Net Core. It fails on a build with the following message

##[error]Unhandled: Cannot find module 'argparse'

Thanks for reporting

[asbjornu]

Is it possible to detect this in our CI pipeline, somehow?

[arturcic]

I think the #1583 should include this test

@roryprimrose can you test the Build task with the latest version 5.0.0.19030113? Not sure it will work on linux for now, as there are some packaging issues I'm trying to address, but for windows agents with .net core it should work. Can you confirm it works?

[roryprimrose]

It still fails for me in the same way although I'm not entirely confident that Azure DevOps is running the latest version of the package. I tried uninstalling the build task and installing it again. Even running with debug logging on the build doesn't actually provide the full package version. It just says 5.0.0.
