Description

As part of adding support for .NET 10 below changes has been done:

  1. Added conditional logic for PackageReference entries for assemblies which are now included in the .NET 10 Base Class Library. Without this change, keeping them caused runtime redundancy and potential NU1510 errors during SDK pruning:

    • Sytem.Text.Json
    • System.Text.Encodings.Web
    • System.Buffers
    • System.Memory
    • System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation
  2. Enabled multi-targeting for .NET 10 in test projects to ensure compatibility and proper coverage.

I think your best bet will be to update the pipelines to install the .NET 10 SDK (instead of .NET 9 SDK), and ensure that we use .NET 10 SDK to build and run the test projects.

The driver projects must remain using .NET 9 SDK to build.

Hmm... I don't think we can separate this out in our current pipelines. Let's just use the .NET 10 SDK for everything and see how it goes.

<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<AssemblyName>PerformanceTests</AssemblyName>
<TargetFrameworks>net8.0;net9.0</TargetFrameworks>
<TargetFrameworks>net8.0;net9.0;net10.0</TargetFrameworks>

So, making this change will require that we start using the .NET 10 SDK to build the tests everywhere (locally as devs and during all pipelines).

For devs, that's fine - we just need to install the .NET 10 SDK wherever we're developing. We will need to update the BUILDGUIDE.md to reflect this new requiremet.

For pipelines, we will need to find everywhere that we perform a build of the tests and add a step that installs the .NET 10 SDK. If you do this, then you can use the existing CI pipelines to verify .NET 10 compatibility rather than trying to get the tests to run for you locally (which is close to impossible currently).

You could use $([MSBuild]::VersionGreaterThanOrEquals(...)) here and below.

I made this change and tried building the driver code but it resulted in below error:

error MSB4184: The express
ion "[MSBuild]::VersionGreaterThanOrEquals('', net9.0)" cannot be evaluated. Version string was not in a correct format.

On checking further could understand that since we have multi-targetting with TargetFrameworks, MSBuild sets $(TargetFramework) for each target during the build, but during initial evaluation or restore, it may be unset leading to $TargetFramework being empty which caused above error.

Hence, I believe its rather safe to use below:

• It directly checks for the exact target frameworks you want (net9.0 or net10.0).
• It avoids MSBuild errors if $(TargetFramework) is empty or not a valid version string.
• It is more readable and less error-prone than using VersionGreaterThanOrEquals, which can fail if the property is not set.

Have a look at the docs for VersionGreaterThanOrEquals here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/property-functions?view=vs-2022#msbuild-version-comparison-functions

You could also try using IsTargetFrameworkCompatible:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/property-functions?view=vs-2022#msbuild-targetframework-and-targetplatform-functions

$([MSBuild]::IsTargetFrameworkCompatible($(TargetFramework), 'net9.0'))

That should be false when $(TargetFramework) is net8.0, and true for net9.0 and net10.0.

I think that is actually better than using VersionGreaterThanOrEquals.

@paulmedynski I've been thinking about this. We can start publishing a .NET 10 dll with only a minor version bump. Maybe we target our spring 7.1 release for that addition. At that point it should be better supported in all the build tooling.

  • The condition for Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting should be updated to include net10.0, similar to the other updated conditions in this file. Currently, net10.0 builds will fall into the 'not equal' condition on line 53, which may not be the intended behavior given the pattern established elsewhere in this file.

It would also be nice to expirment with the workaround documented here to see if we can eliminate the ensure-dotnet-version.yml template:

microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks#16501 (comment)

And the alternate way to determine architecture here:

microsoft/azure-pipelines-tasks#20300 (comment)

That would de-clutter the job steps that look like we're repeatedly trying to install SDKs and remove our PowerShell foo.

Now that we're installing the .NET 10 SDK everywhere, we can change all of these .NET 9 installs to 'runtime'. We don't need the .NET 9 SDK for anything. Do this for the UseDotNet@2 tasks and calls to the ensure-dotnet-version.yml template.

You can remove net9.0 here. This project builds a tool that we use during the build, so it only needs to target one runtime.
