I've started getting an issue where none of my projects will load (even though they are all fine in Visual Studio 2022) because:

Quote:

System.Exception: An exception was thrown in the remote environment: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> nCrunch.Common.UserException: Errors occurred while trying to load the project file:
Assets file 'J:\OSL-Projects\beacon-final-test\OSL.BeaconFinalTest.Diagnostics.CBusFlagReader\obj\project.assets.json' doesn't have a target for 'netstandard2.0'. Ensure that restore has run and that you have included 'netstandard2.0' in the TargetFrameworks for your project.
There is a circular dependency in the target dependency graph involving target "ResolveProjectReferences".
at nCrunch.Compiler.ComponentAnalysisContext.()
at nCrunch.Compiler.ComponentAnalysisContext.AnalyseComponentBuild()
at nCrunch.Compiler.RemoteBuildRunner.AnalyseComponentBuild(ComponentLoadParameters parameters)
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---


I note the line that says there is a "circular dependency" but I really don't think there is, or if there is then I don't understand how. I'm not really sure how to even start troubleshooting this and would appreciate any guidance.

Hi, thanks for sharing this issue.

Are you running a preview version of VS? There is a fix published here for a similar reported issue: https://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst3574_Can-no-longer-build-after-VS2022-17-14-0-Preview-3-0-update.aspx

Yes, I'm running the preview and in fact it updated this morning after I've been on leave for a week. I have installed the build attached to the other post you referenced, and it does seem to have fixed the issue. Once of my projects is now failing to build because of:

NCrunch: This project was built on server '(local)'
[obfuscated].csproj (255, 78): The target "GetVersion" does not exist in the project.

I'm not sure if this is related to the same issue but it might be related to the fact that I'm using GitVersion. I right-clicked then "Reload and Rebuild this project" and it build the second time. In fact, thinking about it, the project is not referenced in the test project so it may have just needed a forced build.

Sometimes when VS loads projects they can be in an inconsistent state when NCrunch gets to them. If the problem is gone after a VS rebuild and reload of the NCrunch engine, then most likely it's nothing to worry about.

If it persists under NCrunch and it doesn't show up when building the project via MSBuild (or dotnet build) on the command line, then it's something that warrants attention (from the NCrunch side at least).
