ABP Update-Database error - The specified framework version '2.1' could not be parsed -

Question

Just trying to create the database as part of the steps in this documentation.

Solution builds fine.

Message from Package Manager Console:

PM> Update-Database

The specified framework version '2.1' could not be parsed

The specified framework 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '2.1' was not found.

• Check application dependencies and target a framework version installed at: C:\Program Files\dotnet\
• Installing .NET Core prerequisites might help resolve this problem: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=798306&clcid=0x409
• The .NET Core framework and SDK can be installed from: https://aka.ms/dotnet-download
• The following versions are installed: 1.0.5 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App] 1.1.2 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App] 2.0.5 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App] 2.0.6 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App] 2.0.9 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App] 2.1.5 at [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]

error copied from my VS window

Seems odd given that I have 2.1.5 installed. Can someone with ABP experience point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Answer 1

This is not an abp problem, but VS and dotnet core framework.

Scenario 1:

4. steps to follow

5. Update VisualStudio

6. Delete .vs folder
7. Restart PC
8. Run VisualStudio as administrator

This is what helped me.

Scenario 2:

Write PM> ls and check if the VS package manager is a corect dir, If not cd folder and try again. If not working go to Scenario 1.

Scenario 3:

Copy your whole repository to C:/repo folder and try again.

If all of those wont work reinstall .NET core 2.1 framework.
