@dotnet/area-system-formats-asn1 I see this happening often in servicing. It's now going to be carried into the August Release.

PR: #104925
Job: https://dev.azure.com/dnceng-public/public/_build/results?buildId=742030&view=logs&j=885df564-30f3-5dad-0bdc-caf444244bdf&t=71aa97be-149e-50ab-5d1c-74d5540a091f

Is this a concerning error?

[adamsitnik]

It seems that it's a new test that has been recently backported to 6.0 in #104624 and 8.0 in #104623 (cc @bartonjs who has most likely authored it)

The failure does not seem to be a product issue, more like a testing problem? The code executed by the remote executor fails to load the assembly, because there is a manifest mismatch.

System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Formats.Asn1, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

@carlossanlop @ericstj what could have caused such an exception?

My only idea for now it to disable it for Full Framework (because it seems to be the only affected configuration?).

[ericstj]

Remote executor needs to be run with the same app.config as the test assembly. Since it's not getting the test assembly's app.config it's missing bindingRedirects.

I see remoteExecutor passes the deps and runtimeconfig for .NETCore processes (solving a similar problem). I bet it's never been plumbed for .NETFramework and folks don't notice except in servicing.

There's no way to pass the config on the commandline for .NETFramework. There might be an environment variable to set, barring that you could copy the config file. cc @ViktorHofer

[ViktorHofer]

We have this code piece which should already cover the app.config scenario on .NET Framework: https://github.com/dotnet/arcade/blob/fc2f7ce8372a55725aab7b48c25bad7327a9769d/src/Microsoft.DotNet.RemoteExecutor/src/build/Microsoft.DotNet.RemoteExecutor.targets#L8-L33

Note that there is no plumbing required on .NET Framework as we directly execute the RemoteExecutor.exe executable and that by default already picks up the .config file with the same name.

[bartonjs]

If it's being noise, I'm fine with turning the test off; and that's the only change I feel empowered to make.

If infra wants to take a stab at making it work, that's cool with me. If not, off it goes.

[ericstj]

Adjusting the milestone since noone will look at 6.0.0. This is still failing regularly in servicing builds.

[jeffhandley]

Moving this out of 9.0.0, but when we do disable the test we should backport that to the servicing branches for 6.0, 8.0, and 9.0.
