Could not load Cake.Incubator.dll (missing netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, ...)

Full message:
Could not load [elided]tools\Addins\Cake.Incubator.2.0.1\lib\netstandard2.0\Cake.Incubator.dll (missing netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51)

Started getting this error after 2.0.1 was released. 1.7.2 and 2.0.0 seem to be fine.

This is happening on a build server, but not on my workstation. Could it be because the build server doesn't have the .NET Core SDK or something?

@warrenrumak It sounds like that might be the case. I would either install the latest net core sdk onto your build server, or alternatively you can pin the version of incubator to 2.0.0 in your script.

#addin nuget:?package=Cake.Incubator&version=2.0.0

Same here.
What exactly needs to be installed on a build server to build version 2.0.1 without "missing netstandard" error?

[rstam]

This is happening on my build server also, but not on my local machine.

Works fine with 2.0.0. The problem started with 2.0.1.

#addin "nuget:?package=Cake.Incubator&version=2.0.0"
tried this and got another error

Error: The assembly 'Cake.Incubator, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
is referencing an older version of Cake.Core (0.22.0).
This assembly need to reference at least Cake.Core version 0.26.0.
Another option is to downgrade Cake to an earlier version.
It's not recommended, but you can explicitly opt-out of assembly verification
by configuring the Skip Verification setting to true
(i.e. command line parameter "--settings_skipverification=true",
environment variable "CAKE_SETTINGS_SKIPVERIFICATION=true",
read more about configuration at https://cakebuild.net/docs/fundamentals/configuration)

Same issue here.

What version of net core runtime do the servers have installed where it is failing?

[dga711]

I tried installing .net core sdk, didn't help. Installed .net core runtime, didn't help. Installed .NET 4.7.1, WORKS

[wwwlicious]

👍 Good to know @dga711. versioning is giving me a headache right now!

[dga711]

Yeah. It's a pain.
Can't think of a reason why installing 4.7.1 helps.

[zplan]

Any progress to this topic? Is there a new release coming?

[Structed]

I want to confirm that installing .NET FX 4.7.1 resolves the issue. Thank you, @dga711!

Should be reolved by #80
