Paket version 5.157.0-alpha003 is breaking Fulma repo

[MangelMaxime]

Description

Since yesterday evening people are reporting me problems with Fulma repo and templates.

Errors are like:

> No executable found matching command "dotnet-fake"

> No executable found matching command "dotnet-fable"

I suspect this issues will impact any project using clitool.

Repro steps

Please provide the steps required to reproduce the problem

1. git clone [email protected]:MangelMaxime/Fulma.git

2. ./fake.sh build

3. The build is failing

Expected behavior

dotnet fake should work.

Actual behavior

> No executable found matching command "dotnet-fake"

Known workarounds

If replace the magic mode with paket.exe version 5.156.7 then it's working again.

urgs @matthid

[matthid]

Oo? Is the paket bootstrapper using prereleases by default?

[MangelMaxime]

@matthid I don't think.

I have this paket.exe.config file in my project:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="Prerelease" value="True"/>
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

I should probably remove it at least from the template indeed but it's useful to detect bugs :)

[matthid]

Yes I’m glad we found this, but we shouldn’t break people on an alpha release :)

Is this an urgent fix considering the template it out? If yes @forki can you release another alpha from master? I’m not sure I can takle this today or tomorrow...

[forki]

do we know what broke it? and how to fix?

[MangelMaxime]

Just for info, I fixed the template and my Fulma repo to use only stable version of paket.

[matthid]

At least I have no idea but fest step would be to look atthe build output which I cannot run at the moment

[forki]

so what should I do? people are reporting this on fable gitter? unlisting the prerelease versions?

[MangelMaxime]

@forki I think the safe approach is to remove the prerelease versions.

[forki]

@matthid would that break FAKE?

[MangelMaxime]

Or apply the solution proposed by @matthid

If yes @forki can you release another alpha from master? I’m not sure I can takle this today or tomorrow...

[matthid]

No it won’t break fake. actually unlisting should have worked just as well, sorry

[forki]

pushed a master version as latest prerelease

[matthid]

Ok I debugged into this, however now I have no idea why it ever worked. Apparently we currently don't detect these kind of new-style sdk projects (using Import instead of Sdk attribute as well as .proj file extension)
I fixed these issues and the problems went away. However it must be some kind of side-effect from some other change as all my changes were unrelated to this....

[matthid]

@MangelMaxime Can you try again with https://www.nuget.org/packages/Paket.Core/5.162.0-alpha002? Seems to work now.

[MangelMaxime]

Sorry for the delay.
This is working with latest version of paket.

Thank you guys
