Hi,

I wanted to upgrade my projects from net8.0 to net90.
I did a complete search/replace over all my projects, had them rebuilt and everything seemed to work fine.

Until I noticed nCrunch was complaining.

I reduced it to a simple project (and a simple test project) working fine in net8.0.
NCrunch is happy, builds and tests my single unittest (doing an assert.True(true))

Then I change the unittest project (either with the main project, either only the unittest project) - I change the TargetFramework from net8.0 to net90 (or net9.0 - effect is the same)
Resharper and VS2022 build and test all fine.
nCrunch won't build the project(s) that have net90 (or net9.0).

The error shown is

Hi, thanks for sharing this issue.

The .NET platform and MSBuild do some odd things in their resolution logic around preview builds of .NET. It's designed in such a way that we can't safely replicate it in NCrunch, and this causes confusion inside the build system.

To resolve this, you'll need to make sure you use the Build SDK config setting to select the .NET 9 preview SDK under NCrunch.

This applies to all preview builds of .NET. As soon as .NET 9 is no longer in a preview state, there should be no need to mess with this setting. My early testing of this platform suggests that we are forwards compatible with it. If you find any other problems with it, please do share them as I believe it's quite close to hitting RTM now.

Thanks for your reply. It is clear to me.
It would be nice however if the tool could maybe in the output refer to some documentation page explaining this ? (optional of course, I can always create an issue on this forum :))

Ideally, yes. Actually, it would be best if it could just align itself and work without any configuration.

The root problem here is that the build tools are actually doing a memory test to try and identify when they are running under a preview version of VS. If no preview VS is hosting them, they instead will ignore preview installations of .NET and just use the latest instead (most likely .NET 8.0 in this case). I can't feasibly fake the memory test, and identifying when it would lead to preview tooling isn't practical to do ... so it just bugs out.

I'd like to detect the failure and report a meaningful message, but as the failure is a weird cross-version bug that could also mean other things, there's no safe way to do it. At the time a build of NCrunch is finalised, there's no way to tell how the platform will bug out for versions of .NET that are not released or are still under development.

So it's not ideal. But I'm grateful for the fact that we're able to work with .NET 9 without needing to make changes to NCrunch, or release a special version just for it. MS deserve much credit for that, actually.
