Cake Not Working on Build Server, Works on local environment

[josephbaggett]

What You Are Seeing?

I am seeing errors calling the dotnet cli when attempting to do the first dotnet cli command. I am looking at the logs, and on my build server, it is calling a dotnet.exe that is created during the build process from Azure DevOps on an on premise server. The directory it puts this dotnet.exe in is within the working directory:

Here is the command that fails which is called when I call DotNetCoreRestore which came from my logs:
"D:/Agent/bin/dotnet.exe" restore "..\CompanyName.ProjectName.sln"

This is running from my build directory which is one folder above the solution, which is the reason for the two periods to tell the command to go back one folder to find the solution file properly.

I have identified the "D:/Agent/bin/dotnet.exe" is the problem. When I point to that dotnet.exe, it does absolutely nothing. When I change this path on my build server via command line to this:
"C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" restore "..\CompanyName.ProjectName.sln"
The above line works, but the command called from Cake is called from the DotNetCoreRestore command, so I'm trying to figure out how to get the dotnet.exe to work that it is calling, or point the dotnet.exe to a different path in Cake(is this possible? is this driven via configuration?)

this works on my local machine, but on my build server, it does not work when running as an administrator service account.

What is Expected?

I am expecting the dotnet cli commands to work when executed on my build server. The dotnet cli is not working when calling from Cake methods.

What version of Cake are you using?

0.32.1

Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit system?

64

What environment are you running on? Windows? Linux? Mac?

Windows Server 2008 R2

Are you running on a CI Server? If so, which one?

Yes, Azure DevOps

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

I called the Cake powershell bootstrap file .\build.ps1

You can check Tool Resolution in the docs to see how the tool resolution works.

With something like:

DotNetCoreRestore( "..\CompanyName.ProjectName.sln", new DotNetCoreRestoreSettings
{
    ToolPath = "C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe"
});

you could explicitly set the location of the dotnet.exe you wish to use.

I'm not sure what the properties of that dotnet.exe created by Azure DevOps are or what causes that error. It might be registered as a PATH variable and therefore used by cake.

Hey @josephbaggett It's been a long time since you opened this issue. I'm assuming you either found a solution, or a bug was fixed in future versions of Cake since version 0.32.1 which is what you were using at the time. If by any chance you still remember how you solved it, feel free to share on this issue.

If you're arriving here from a search engine and have a similar error, please make sure you're using the most recent version of Cake, and open a new issue if you still see the same error.
