Fails with GitHub Actions ubuntu-24.04 and .NET 9 SDK

[Methuselah96]

The CLI seems to be having trouble with ubuntu-24.04 in combination with the .NET 9 SDK on GitHub Actions:

The ubuntu-24.04 is being rolled out as ubuntu-latest over the next month. It looks like MSBuild is not installed by default in 24.04. I would expect MSBuildLocator to pick up on the MSBuild version included with the .NET SDK, but I suspect that this might not be working because I'm using .NET 9 SDK, and this project is still on .NET 8.

I'm hoping #109 might fix this, but I'm not totally sure.

Hi @Methuselah96 thanks for reaching out.
We are working on getting dotnet-affected to pass tests on .NET 9 but are having issues related to MSBuild as well.

Can you attach the dotnet --info output as well for completeness?

If you want to give it a go to the dotnet 9 compatible version, you can get the packages from this build and use those instead of the nuget.org version.

Thank you,
Leo.

Hi @Methuselah96 , dotnet affected v6.0.0-preview-1 has just been released would you kindly give it a go and report back?
Thank you.
Leo

[Methuselah96]

That seems to have fixed it. Thanks!

[leonardochaia]

Got it, I'll close this one. Feel free to reopen as needed.
Thanks!
Leo.

@leonardochaia Any idea on when a stable version of v6 will be released? There's no convenient way for me to use the prerelease since I'm using dotnet-affected-action.

[Methuselah96]

Oh, I guess I can specify toolVersion for the GitHub Action. Regardless, I look forward to the sable release of v6. Any ideas when it will become stable?

@leonardochaia Just checking in to see if you have a timeline for a stable v6 release?
