[Bug] 6.0 Beta 4 gitversion.msbuild with dotnet build

[christophwille]

When I add 6.0-b4 msbuild nuget, it works fine in VS. When executing dotnet build on the command line it fails when executing

dotnet --roll-forward Major "C:\Users\chwille\.nuget\packages\gitversion.msbuild\6.0.0-beta.4\tools\/gitversion.dll" "C:\Workspace\src\myProject" -output file -outputfile obj\gitversion.json

(exit code 1)

When I run this separately (in the same directory as dotnet build) I get

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---roll-forward 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.

Can you run in a cmd this piece directly?
dotnet --roll-forward Major "C:\Users\chwille\.nuget\packages\gitversion.msbuild\6.0.0-beta.4\tools\/gitversion.dll" "C:\Workspace\src\myProject" -output file -outputfile obj\gitversion.json

As I pointed out I did.

Edit: ah, there are subfolders in C:\Users\chwille.nuget\packages\gitversion.msbuild\6.0.0-beta.4\tools\ - if I add net8.0 eg to the path it works. So seems not to pick entire path.

@arturcic is it possible to get a new beta package on nuget.org?

@christophwille at this moment I cannot give an estimation when we get this released.

There is PR that needs to be reviewed, and as far as I understand there will be a couple more related to the trunk based implementation.

Let me check with @HHobeck if we can have a beta5 before he finishes his work.

Until now there is only one PR merged to master from me which includes only preparation changes for the actual refactoring task. It is up to you:

• review the changes and go forward
• create a package for one bugfix ;)

[arturcic]

@HHobeck, I think we can go with the beta5 and then your changes will get into beta6

@christophwille may you give a try to the new beta?

I just did - works fine (the last stumbling block was Azure DevOps doing shallow checkouts these days by default).
