The specified deps.json does not exist

[William Czifro]

I have been trying to get F# working on my mac using dotnet preview3-004056 and this repo. I am trying to get the preview3 console app to build but keep getting the following error: The specified deps.json [/Users/czifro/.nuget/packages/.tools/dotnet-compile-fsc/1.0.0-preview2-020000/netcoreapp1.0/dotnet-compile-fsc.deps.json] does not exist I performed a restore, so that couldn't be an issue (right?). Anyways these are the exact steps I did:

1. Fetched dotnet @ https://dotnetcli.azureedge.net/dotnet/Sdk/1.0.0-preview3-004056/dotnet-dev-osx-x64.1.0.0-preview3-004056.tar.gz
2. Copied binaries to /usr/local/share
3. Asserted dotnet works with dotnet --version and got 1.0.0-preview3-004056
4. Cloned this repo and went to preview3/console example
5. Ran dotnet restore; dotnet build

Here is the full output of both restore and build:

i can repro, i'll push a fix today

[Enrico Sada]

I can repro in the windows ci server (and paket windows pr build) too, so affect also windows.
But not locally on my windows machine, i was thinking was an xplat bug only, but np, is just a bug

[Enrico Sada]

should be fixed now with version FSharp.NET.Sdk v1.0.0-alpha-000009

if you use 1.0.0-alpha-* in fsproj, you just need to redo dotnet restore.

I added ci on all os now with #45 so should be ok (i had same issue in ci)

@czifro if is not ok, pls reopen this issue. And really thx for bug report!
/cc @alfonsogarciacaro @forki because i think it's the same error you had

[Alfonso Garcia-Caro]

I can confirm it's working for me on Mac now (I had indeed the same error before). Thanks a lot @enricosada!

[William Czifro]

It is working for me as well. Thanks!
