platform developer setup build errors

[thabaum]

I am followed directions and videos best I can to setup a developer environment to work on the platform but no luck here.

Setup the tools:
Youtube Setup DNN Tools
I believe I followed instructions on this page:
BUILD DNN

I am having an issue building from powershell after following all procedures for setting up a developer build environment I am not sure what I am missing here. I believe I have configured the settings.local.json file properly as I was able to get one attempt (this is not my first on this new IDE) as I was able to create one running the command .\Build.ps1 --target=CreateSettings.

1. I can build successfully from within Visual Studio, just not from Powershell
2. I am getting these errors below when I run .\build.ps1 from powershell.
   I also tried:
3. When I run .\Build.ps1 --target=ResetDevSite from powershell I do get a database recreated, but no website files.
4. After creating the DNN_Platform.local.build file and building from Visual Studio I had some folders created in the IIS folder but not all the website files. Do I need to download a source copy and install it first into IIS directory? Only bin, desktopmodules, portals and providers folders and files created. The rest of the site files are missing.

I am using developer branch for building.

Build Debug
Note: you need to have gone through the steps for setting up a dev site (see above) for this to work.

To build the .net projects to the right location, you'll need to create your override of the core build variables in the **DNN_Platform.local.build** file:

<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <WebsitePath Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU' ">C:\Path\to\my\DNN\DevSite</WebsitePath>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>
**Once you've created this file** every time you click "rebuild" in Visual Studio on a project (or the solution) you'll see the content change in your dev site. Note: You may have to restart Visual Studio for this new build file to take effect.

For the Webpack projects it is set up to read from the settings.local.json file and use the WebsitePath to copy generated js files to

Here is what is being created from building inside visual studio, I am expecting the full website. But for this to work I am thinking something is missing creating msbuild errors when running build.ps1 from powershell.

I am hoping at some point I can set break points in debug mode so I can fix a few old issues lingering on my to do list here. This is a fresh VM I am trying to configure.

As mentioned in the instructions it is probably a configuration setting problem with the settings.local.json for the website location.
Here are those settings:

{
    "WebsitePath": "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\Dnn.Platform",
    "WebsiteUrl": "devsite.dnn",
    "SaConnectionString": "server=(local);Trusted_Connection=True;",
    "DnnConnectionString": "add name=\"SiteSqlServer\" connectionString=\"Server=(local);Database=dnndb;uid=dnnsqluser;pwd=dnnsqlpassword;\" providerName=\"System.Data.SqlClient\"",
    "DbOwner": "dbo",
    "ObjectQualifier": "",
    "DnnDatabaseName": "dnndb",
    "DnnSqlUsername": "dnnsqluser",
    "DatabasePath": "C:\\SQL\\DNN",
    "Version": "auto"
  }

Thanks in advance!

What version of Visual Studio do you have on the machine ?

[thabaum]

I am using Visual Studio 2022, do I need 2019? I have both 2022 preview and 2022 installed, but I only use preview for working with .NET Core currently.

Building using Powershell command .\build.ps1 is where I get these errors. I get them from both opening Powershell from inside Windows and when using Powershell to execute that file inside VS as well just to be clear.

If I build from inside Visual Studio F5 the solution builds successfully, however I do not get all the files created, just the ones pictured.

.\Build.ps1 --target=ResetDevSite only gives me a new database. No files copied to the IIS website folder. A lot of MS Build errors

<Project ToolsVersion="15.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

DNN files have the following:

ToolVersion=15.0 instead of 4.0 is the only difference I see from what is expected.

I will install VS 2019

[thabaum]

Installing visual studio 2019 got me past those MSBuild Errors and into some new ones...

source\repos\thabaum\Dnn.Platform\Dnn.AdminExperience\Dnn.PersonaBar.Extensions\Dnn.PersonaBar.Extensions.csproj" (RunYarnWorkspace target) (25:2) -> (RunYarnWorkspace target) -> ➤ YN0001 : │ error [ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE]: Premature close [C:\Users\devuser\source\repos\thabaum\Dnn.Platform\Dnn.AdminExperience\Dnn.PersonaBar.Extensions\Dnn.PersonaBar.Extensions.csproj]

I will reload the project with a fresh copy of files see how it goes.

[bdukes]

Your original output shows MSBuild 4.8, but it should be 14 or 15, so whatever default version of MSBuild you're using isn't new enough to compile everything. Try using the Developer PowerShell for VS 2022 shortcut from the Start Menu (or the Developer PowerShell shortcut from within Visual Studio) which should setup the correct version of all of the tools.

The new "Premature close" error is probably from running Yarn, but the specific details of the error will be farther up in the output. You should be able to try running yarn install on its own and see if you get any errors.

[thabaum]

I deleted all files in the DNN platform source folder and put a fresh copy of the develop branch. The developer version of Powershell resulted the same so I figure maybe something is off from previous attempts going wrong. I did install yarn again, but I was pretty sure I had that already as I followed the video for tools.

I was playing with the version numbers; I may have left the 4.8 on the screenshot but it has been set to 4.0 and 15.0 with same results.

So with a fresh copy from develop branch it looks like a 9.10.3 sql file is not missing in the folder but an error from the build.ps1 running VS2019 Developer Powershell

Error: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\devuser\source\repos\thabaum\Dnn.Platform\Dnn Platform\Website\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\09.10.03.SqlDataProvider'.

Is this going to be the file path too long issue? As in I need to put it in a C:\DNN\ folder to shorten it possibly?

Error: Git command failed with arguments rev-parse --show-toplevel. Exit code: 128. Error output: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I put the contents of the develop branch downloaded ZIP file into a folder C:\DNN\Dev

On a brighter note I seen theMSBuild -Vercommand work to display the version information which does get displayed in normal powershell.

[valadas]

A couple of suggestions:

• Have you tried git clone instead of the zip
• If you do git clone from your fork, is your fork up to date ? (There is a new github UI button to do this in browser)

[thabaum]

Error: Git command failed with arguments rev-parse --show-toplevel. Exit code: 128. Error output: fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I used git clone https://github.com/thabaum/Dnn.Platform.git while at root folder directory and it downloaded but I still get this error some odd reason, maybe I need to clone it with visual studio first. That was how I downloaded it the first time with VS2022.

Back to this

[valadas]

This appears to be a node issue, can you check your node version by typing node -v

[thabaum]

I opened VS 2019 (Admin mode)
Cloned the repo to a new folder
tried to run but an error...
created a branch... same error.

Error: There was an error deserializing the object of type Cake.Common.Tools.GitVersion.GitVersionInternal. Encountered unexpected character 'M'.

[thabaum]

maybe it is node.js as I think that is the one thing I did wrong on your video was installed the 17.2 "Current" version. I will install the LTS see how it goes...

[thabaum]

Wowzer... it worked!!! (for the git cloned not the VS cloned)

Node.js LTS is big part of the solution here. Also using Developer PowerShell VS 2022 to run the build. Not sure if installing VS 2019 has anything to help here as well to get things the platform is familiar with. I want to go through this process again and document it in a quick setup guide for later reference.

[thabaum]

New issue:

PS C:\DNN\src\Dnn.Platform> .\Build.ps1 --target=ResetDevSite
After adding the 2 local build files I get this:

PS C:\dnn\src\Dnn.Platform>

Much further than last time... I have website files but one more error popped up. I ran this using Developer Powershell VS 2022 and 2019 with same results.

and the db files showed up as well just for anyone interested here.

[thabaum]

Special thanks to @valadas and @bdukes you both helped big time here.

I am going to put together something to put in a discussion that maybe can be used to create a walkthrough that gets someone going fairly straight with limited experience from my experience with this.

To answer my question:

• Use Node.JS "LTS" version only NOT "Current Version"
• Use Developer Powershell for VS
• Run `yarn -install' to get latest yarn.
• Create proper load files. In my case the corrected line "DnnConnectionString": "Server=(local);Database=dnnDB;uid=dnnDBUser;pwd=DnnDBPassword;" I was using the full line from web.config file which was incorrect.
• Navigate powershell to folder and use git to download the repository from your fork quickly
