Is there a cloudscribe Getting Started Guide? - cloudscribe

I'm trying to test if cloudscribe is appropriate for a project I am starting and I'm having challenges getting a cloudscribe instance running.
I'm new to .NET Core 2 and not quite sure how to make it work.
I loaded the VSIX template into VisualStudio 2017, started a new project and got the initial configuration dialogs, but when the project is created, it's getting errors:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error NU1102 Unable to find package cloudscribe.Core.IdentityServerIntegration with version (>= 2.0.0-preview20170927)
- Found 20 version(s) in nuget.org [ Nearest version: 2.0.0-preview20170828 ]
- Found 0 version(s) in Microsoft Visual Studio Offline Packages cloudscribe c:\My Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Projects\cloudscribe\cloudscribe\cloudscribe.csproj 1
I really would like a robust identity & authentication, so I though the IdentityServer 4(fork) option was the way to go.
If I don't select Identity Server (and using NoDB), the project launches, but the login of admin#admin / admin doesn't work...likely because the database isn't populated.
What am I missing?

There was a missing package on nuget that was causing that error. Sorry for the inconvenience. It should be fine now. To make usre you have the latest nuget packages, open a command window in the root of the solution and run the command:
dotnet restore --no-cache

ASP.NET Core app build to target Core 2.1 fails on IIS 10 server where Core 2.1 is installed

I have just setup up IIS 10 on a clean Server 2016 hosted server, and installed the following packages that I have gleaned should be on the machine to allow IIS to host ASP.NET Core applications:
aspnetcore-runtime-2.1.0-win-x64.exe
dotnet-hosting-2.1.0-win.exe
dotnet-runtime-2.1.0-win-x64.exe
I have installed my app straight into the Default Web Site and replaced all files in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ with my app files. I also did assign the web site an app pool with no managed code, so that isn't my problem.
Last time my app was built with 2.0, and I installed the latest versions of the above packages, which I'm sure was 2.0, and the only error I had was that the command dotnet that IIS uses to invoke Kestrel to run the site, was not in the PATH env. variable
Now when I try and browse to localhost on the Server 2016 machine, it gives me the following error, found in the Windows event log:
Application 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/DEFAULT WEB SITE' with physical
root 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\' failed to start process with commandline
'dotnet .\QuickDrive.Mvc.dll', ErrorCode = '0x80004005 : 8000808c.
Initially I tried with the same build as before, which was 2.0, and when I got this error, I rebuilt the app to target 2.1. Nearly every search result and relevant SO answer I can find suggest a version conflict, but now there should at least be no version conflict between the runtime and hosting package on the server. Maybe there are other version conflicts I am not aware of though?
At very least I'm asking for some advice on how to get more detailed diagnostic information, even if I don't get an answer that tells me straight what config options and versions to check on Windows and on IIS.
You have to install the Core SDK for whatever version you want to target in Visual Studio. Installing the runtime alone won't do the trick. You may have the restart Visual Studio afterward to see it in the list.
Here is a link to the SDK 2.1 download (the latest as of this writing).
I solved the problem by running dotnet myWesite.dll in PowerShell, and first I found that dotnet.exe was not in the PATH environment variable, and after fixing that, running dotnet myWesite.dll again gave me a meaningful error message that an assembly was missing because it had not been included when I published the website.
I faced the same error on the dev machine in IIS Express. MVC App stopped working all of the sudden. Eventlog gave the 0x80004005 error code.
After trying multiple suggestions, the solution to debug the wired error code was to run the app in the console:
[Project bin folder]> dotnet [projectname].dll
It appeared that during the NuGet package update, the dotnet core version was accidentally updated to 2.1.4 where as the installed version was 2.1.3
[could be a bug in Nuget manager as the update was from there]
I edited the project file to reference the available version (2.1.3) and the app started to work properly.

Visual Studio Doesn't Create Xamarin Bin Folder

I'm trying to build an iPad project from Visual Studio 2017 for windows, However whenever I try to debug the app I get this error
Launch failed. The app 'B2C.iPad' could not be launched on 'iPad Air
iOS 11.0'. Error: error MT0069: The app directory
'/Users/user/Library/Caches/Xamarin/mtbs/builds/B2C.iPad/acb039527d504c900b2e6c86d8d84d09/bin/iPhoneSimulator/Debug/MobiBusiness.app'
does not exist. . Please check the logs for more details.
I noticed that visual studio doesn't create bin folder on the Mac machine although it indicates the build is succeeded.
I tried building the solution without debugging and looked at the log file nothing looked suspicious and there was no error.
does anyone know what might cause this error?
Okay this is embarrassing apparently the iPad project wasn't not selected in the build configuration, so needed to select the projects from build --> Configuration Manager

Unable to build Compiled Azure Function in VSTS (Error MSB4019)

I have created an Azure Function using the latest build of visual studio 2017 (15.3.1).
This build allows me to do the:
New Project > Azure Function App approach
This produces a .csproj (not a .funproj file) and it's doesn't come bundled with a website or anything. I've tried .Net 4.6 and 4.6.1 as the target framework and neither have worked.
I get the following error in VSTS:
C:\Users\Builder.nuget\packages\microsoft.net.sdk.functions\1.0.2\build\netstandard1.0\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions.Publish.props
(13, 3)
C:\Users\Builder.nuget\packages\microsoft.net.sdk.functions\1.0.2\build\netstandard1.0\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Functions.Publish.props(13,3):
Error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual
Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Publish\Sdk\Sdk.Props"
was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is
correct, and that the file exists on disk.
There is no node in my .csproj file so I am not sure where it is getting that from.
I'm using the latest NuGet option in VSTS, I'm using the Latest VS Version option as well.
The build steps are:
Get Sources
NuGet Restore
Build Solution (MSBuild.exe exited with code '1' every time)
Is there any way to build (and then release) compiled .Net functions in VSTS at the minute?
I was able to solve this by swapping the build agent from the "Default" group to the latest, "Hosted VS 2017" group, and that has compiled fine.
Looks like the machine is missing the latest dotnet cli. I'm not too familiar with VSTS build machines, but you'd need to get that on there somehow https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core

NuGet Package restore failed for project myProjectWeb: Unable to find version '3.0.1' of package 'AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit'

It's a provider hosted project. It used to work until very recently.
If I create a completely new project/solution, then it works.
If I start the old one, or redownload it from source control, I get the following error:
NuGet Package restore failed for project LocalTheaterWeb: Unable to find version '3.0.1' of package 'AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit'
I tried Update-Package -Reinstall but the problem stays.
Any ideas?
The solution of Scott Hillier did it for me:
http://www.shillier.com/archive/2014/08/05/nuget-package-restore-fails-for-sharepoint-2013-provider-hosted-apps.aspx
I often take advantage of the NuGet Package Restore capability to
reduce the size of my projects when saving or sharing them. Today, I
discovered an issue with this process when building SharePoint 2013
Provider-Hosted Apps against SharePoint Online. Here are the steps to
reproduce and the fix:
Create a Provider-Hosted App in Visual Studio 2013 using a SharePoint Online site for debugging.
Right click solution and "Enable NuGet Package Restore"
Save and Close Project
Delete the “packages” folder from project directory
Open Project in Visual Studio 2013
Rebuild, receive error “Unable to find AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit”
Open Packages.config file
Change “AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit” to “AppForSharePointWebToolkit”
Rebuild – successfully this time. Apparently, the "AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit" package is not available through the
NuGet Package Manager, but the older "AppForSharePointWebToolkit"
package is available.
The error message suggests that NuGet cannot find the AppForSharePoint16WebToolkit package in your package sources. So check the following:
The correct package source is selected whilst doing the Update-Package -Reinstall.
Check the package source that hosts the NuGet package is enabled. If you are using a recent version of NuGet the package restore should use all the enabled package sources.
See if the solution or project has its own NuGet.config which is overriding the package sources.
Without further information my guess is 3. since you say it works for a new project.
You can also run Fiddler to see what package sources NuGet is using as it tries to restore.
For older "locked down" projects with specific package version numbers that you can't update, un-check "Automatically check for missing packages during build in Visual Studio" which is found via:
Nuget Package Manager > Package Manager Settings
This means that if you toggle between newer projects and older projects you need to check and un-check this setting

VS2012 Install Shield project building using TFS build definition

I have a VS2012 sln which includes an install shield installer project.
If I build the solution/projects manually via solution explorer everything builds fine.
However when using the TFS build definitions i get the following error:
C:\Builds\1\<NAME>\<Build_Definition_Name>\Sources\InstallSetup\InstallSetup.isproj (29): The imported project
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\InstallShield\2012SpringLimited\InstallShield.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
Can someone please help with this?
Info:
Using VS 2012
OS - Win 7 x64 Pro
You need to install InstallShield on the machine on which you are running the build.
In-case someone is facing the same issue, I was able to solve it by reading what Flexera mentioned on their website: Link
Brief description: in build definition, process tab, make sure the MSBuild Platform is targeting x86.
I too had 64bit Windows (8.1) running and Team Foundation Server 2013 Express.
