Nuget - Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'WebApplication1'. 0
It's my own custom nuget package that I've not published yet and testing locally.
The nuget package consists of a dll file and nuspec file is as follows.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package >
<metadata>
<id>MyLib</id>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<authors>Author</authors>
<owners>Owner</owners>
<licenseUrl>license url</licenseUrl>
<projectUrl>project url</projectUrl>
<requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance>
<description>some description</copyright>
<tags>Tag1 Tage2</tags>
</metadata>
<files>
<file src="bin\Debug\netstandard1.4\*.dll" target="lib" />
<file src="bin\Debug\netstandard1.4\*.pdb" target="lib" />
</files>
</package>
I've copied the nupkg file to a location and added it to the
Visual studio Tools -> Options -> Packages -> sources directory
Error:
Package MyLib 1.0.0 is not compatible with netcoreapp1.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0). Package MyLib 1.0.0 supports: net (.NETFramework,Version=v0.0)
Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'WebApplication1'.
Not sure how can I resolve the issue or find more information.
More Info
The dll file was created using template (.Net Framework 4.5.2)
Templates -> Visual C# -> .NET Core -> Class Library (.NET Standard)
The web application was crated using template. (Empty Web Application)
Templates -> Visual C# -> .NET Core -> ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Core)
Edit
I found more details under Output
window
One or more packages are incompatible with .NETCoreApp,Version=v1.0.
What kind of class library should I create which is compatible with .NETCoreApp?
Edit2
I saw this URL. it suggests to create the nupkg using dotnet.exe pack --no-build
whereas earlier I downloaded the nuget.exe
from nuget.org to create the package.
I tried above command but then visual studio says
"... Target pack doesn't exists in the project ... "
Followed instructions on this site as well but failed URL
You need clear the Nuget Cache. To do this, go to Tools -> Options and click on it like this picture
Your project is targetting an incompatible version of .Net Framework. Right click on the project, select properties and note the value of the Target Framework. Look at the Nuget package for Microsoft and then install a more suitable NuGet package. Either install the older version of the NuGet package or update your project to target a newer version.
