DirectoryNotFoundException in Docker Build

[anurmatov]

Environment

Metalama.Framework Version: 2024.2.19
Runtime: .NET 8.0.1
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Docker Base Image: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0-bookworm-slim

Issue Description

During our Docker build process, Metalama is encountering a DirectoryNotFoundException. The build (same with dotnet test) fails when trying to access a directory that doesn't exist.

Error message

System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/tmp/mtlm/Metalama/AssemblyLocator/2024.2.19/default/bin/Debug/net6.0'.

Stack Trace

Additonal context

• We're using a multi-stage Dockerfile for our build process
• The error occurs during the dotnet build step
• We've set the METALAMA_TEMP environment variable to /tmp/mtlm

[anurmatov]

worth mentioning if you create a container from last succeeded layer (that dotnet restore step) and run same test/build command it works just fine

[gfraiteur]

I've seen that before but it seemed random.

• Does it seem deterministic to you?
• Do you have several projects using Metalama, or just one? Part of the randomness could be the parallelism.
• Does the problem disappear if you disable parallel build? dotnet build -m:1 --disable-build-servers

[anurmatov]

thanks for the comment, it's deterministic yes, let me try to test w/ turned off parallelism

[anurmatov]

still same issue w/ dotnet build -m:1 --disable-build-servers

project structure:

• multiple projects in our solution that use Metalama
• there is a private NuGet package containing custom aspects
• our main project references this private package with custom aspects

[anurmatov]

our attempts with different metalama versions (2024.0.16, 2024.1.23, 2024.2.19) aren't working out

tests are passed when running in a container from last succeeded docker layer:

@gfraiteur if needed we can come up with a demo for repro

[prochan2]

Hello @anurmatov . May I ask you to collect logs of the failing build? Collecting Metalama logs is described at https://doc.postsharp.net/metalama/conceptual/configuration/creating-logs .

Before we figure this out, a workaround may be to build an empty project with Metalama installed before building the rest of your projects. The version of Metalama in the project must match the version used in your project.

[anurmatov]

hello @prochan2,
attached logs to the ticket, please find them here support.postsharp.net

trying to get a workaround to work - no luck yet

[addabis]

@anurmatov This was fixed in 2024.2.21, the configuration (any casing) env var should be now removed for the helper project build.
