Could not load ILibraryExport while running HelloMvc sample

[louispellerin]

Hi,

I've just installed dnvm on my mac using homebrew and when I try to run the HelloMvc sample using "dnu . kestrel", I receive the following error when I try to load http://localhost:5004.

An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.

TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Microsoft.Framework.Runtime.Compilation.ILibraryExport' from assembly 'Microsoft.Framework.Runtime.Interfaces, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
System.Lazy1[System.Collections.Generic.List1[Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.MetadataReference]].CreateValue () [0x00000] in , line 0

Note that I was running the samples with vnext instead of dnx before. I don't know if my attempt to replace the k* things with the new stuff broke something, but the other samples run fine.

Thanks for the help!

[davidfowl]

Please make sure you are using packages and dnx from the same "train", e.g. beta4 packaged and beta4 dnx etc.

@davidfowl I've been trying to get a stable setup of beta4 or later on my Mac ever since upgrading to Mono 4.0.1 but I've been terribly unsuccessful.

My current dnvm list displays the following:

Miguels-MBP:HelloMvc miguellira$ dnvm list
Active Version              Runtime Arch Location             Alias
------ -------              ------- ---- --------             -----
       1.0.0-beta3          mono         ~/.dnx/runtimes      
  *    1.0.0-beta4          mono         ~/.dnx/runtimes      default
       1.0.0-beta5-11649    mono         ~/.dnx/runtimes      
       1.0.0-beta5-11657    mono         ~/.dnx/runtimes   

And I tapped an old bottle of Mono 3.12.1 so my mono --version displays the following:

Miguels-MBP:HelloMvc miguellira$ mono --version

Pulling down the latest aspnet/Home/ and running dnu restore and dnu build on the 1.0.0-beta4 folder produces the following warning because of a small typo in project.json:

/Users/miguellira/Downloads/Home-dev/samples/1.0.0-beta4/HelloMvc/project.json(17,47): warning: Dependency specified was Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener >= 1.0.0-beta4* but ended up with Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener 1.0.0-beta5-11975.

After updating the project.json file to correctly reference

"Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener": "1.0.0-beta4-*"

I get a successful build, however, running the application results in the known DataProtectionServices issue. aspnet/DataProtection#55

Any idea how I get get my beta4 "train" back on track?

[davidfowl]

You need mono 4.0.1 to get the fix for the data protection isssue. The home repository has instructions for this. As for getting beta5 bits, You can specify beta4-* but I none of your configured feeds don't have anything beta4 you will get whatever is there that is bigger.

If you want beta4 bits, remove the wild card from your versions and specify beta4 exactly

[miguellira]

@davidfowl Running Mono 4.0.1 against DNX 4.5.1 results in the System.IO.EndOfStreamException issue that you've already stated has no known workaround (#498) which is why I tapped the previous stable version of Mono (3.12.1).

As far as my configured feeds, I have updated my NuGet.config file to the default in the hopes that I get the most "stable" build(s).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration />
<!--configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="AspNetVNext" value="https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/api/v2" />
    <add key="NuGet.org" value="https://nuget.org/api/v2/" />
  </packageSources>
</configuration-->

But even if I update the project.json file to 1.0.0-beta4, restore and build... I still can't successfully run the HelloMvc app.

[Banashek]

I was having the same issue.
Following davidfowl's suggestion did the trick for me.

OS: OSX
Mono: 4.0.1
DNX: v1.0.0-beta4-11566
DNVM: 1.0.0-beta5-10373
DNU: v1.0.0-beta4-11566

Using the samples/1.0.0-beta4/HelloMvc/ directory gave me the ILibraryExport error, but changing the references from "1.0.0-beta4-*" to 1.0.0-beta4" for the dependencies (don't change the version property) fixed the issue.

Looks like even though everything was set to 1.0.0-beta4-, the - was updating to a later dnx version then the one I have? (which is the latest one right now).

Thanks David!

[miguellira]

@Banashek Can you tell me what your current NuGet feed is set to? I can't seem to install 1.0.0-beta5-10373 of the DNVM to test your exact setup.

I've tried all of the following:

export DNX_FEED=https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/api/v2
export DNX_FEED=https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetmaster/api/v2
export DNX_FEED=https://www.nuget.org/api/v2

and they all return with the same result:

Miguels-MBP:myWebApp miguellira$ dnvm install 1.0.0-beta5-10373
Default stable feed (https://nuget.org/api/v2) is being overridden by the value of the DNX_FEED variable (https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/api/v2).

dnx-mono.1.0.0-beta5-10373 was not found in repository https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/api/v2 
This is most likely caused by the feed not having the version that you typed. Check that you typed the right version and try again. Other possible causes are the feed doesn't have a DNX of the right name format or some other error caused a 404 on the server

Again, for the record, I am able to run dnu build without any errors, however, running dnx . kestrel results in a runtime error against the most basic MVC app.

The dnvm version shouldn't really matter, it's really the dnx and mono versions that seem important.
To my understanding the DNVM just grabs different DNX versions like ruby's rvm.

Have you tapped back to 4.0.1 Mono and double checked the project.json to make sure that the dependencies are correct?

I had the exact same error you posted originally about and the only change needed to solve it was editing the package.json as davidfowl noted.

Here's my current project.json:

{
    "version": "1.0.0-*",
    "webroot": "wwwroot",
    "exclude": [
        "wwwroot"
    ],

    ],

    },

         "dnxcore50": { }
    }
}

[miguellira]

@Banashek Yes, I tapped back to 4.0.1 but running dnu build on the project.json you posted results in the same System.IO.EndOfStreamException I ran into when I first updated Mono 4.0.1 (#498)

[davidfowl]

[Banashek]

@miguellira ah ok yeah I seem to get the same error when building. I was just looking at running locally.

I'm not too familiar with these stack traces, but I'll look at them later and respond if I figure it out.

[miguellira]

@Banashek Well at least I don't feel so alone :-)

As for this error, it has already been logged (#498) and @davidfowl has already confirmed there is no known workaround.

That said, some people do appear to have a healthy Mono 4.0.1/DNX 4.5.1/Beta4 setups: http://tattoocoder.azurewebsites.net/vscode-creating-an-application-with-yeoman-aspnet-generators/

I just wished I was one of them :-(

[Banashek]

As David says in his article posted on this thread "living on the bleeding edge will hurt".

I'm sure things will get better with time.

For now, you could boot up a linux vm and copy the code over if you really need to build out the projects.

Right now I'm not really deploying anywhere, just testing the waters with VSCode and the shiny new tools we got in the last couple days. Luckily the local webserver works so I can do this.

Thanks for linking the existing error @miguellira.

[davidfowl]

@miguellira can you try running without building?

[miguellira]

@davidfowl OMG! I can't believe I just didn't tried that. I figured I had to green light the build before running. It works! (well kinda)... I run into the FileSystemWatcher issue (#508) but setting the following fixes that:

export MONO_MANAGED_WATCHER=disabled

Thanks!

I apparently have DNX 1.0.0-beta5 however my dependancies are on beta4.
I have mono 4.0.1. But I still get this same error. Does it have to do something with DNX beta5? and when I do dnvm install 1.0.0-beta4 I get an error:
