As of preview3 dotnet new
produces a csproj, and both dotnet restore
and dotnet build
fail against a project.json and/or an xproj.
For instance, running dotnet restore
against a directory that has both a project.json and an xproj gives this error.
...xproj(7,3): error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\1.0.0-preview3-004056\Extensions\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\DotNet\Microsoft.DotNet.Props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
Further, running it against a directory that has only a project.json gives this error.
MSBUILD : error MSB1003: Specify a project or solution file. The current working directory does not contain a project or solution file.
Without using Visual Studio, how can we convert an existing project.json and/or xproj to a csproj?
