Failed to find .NET Core SDK

This is very strange. SlnGen is running dotnet --info and looking for the line that says:

  Base Path:   C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.1.302\

Does this happen consistently?

[sidfloyd90]

Yes, It happens every time. I'm unable to make SlnGen work on my machine.

[jeffkl]

Very strange. I added a unit test with your exact output and it seems to work.

Can you try building SlnGen locally and debugging it on your machine? The TryGetDotNetCoreBasePath method is what parses the output of dotnet --info to get the value of BasePath.

You can also downgrade to unblock yourself

dotnet tool uninstall --global microsoft.visualstudio.slngen.tool
dotnet tool install --global --version 3.4.11 microsoft.visualstudio.slngen.tool

You can try older versions until it works again, that would narrow down which commit broke you.

Same error on me and old version also doesn't work.

I'm able to mitigate by uninstalling all 2.xx version .net core SDKs. Only keep the latest one.

+1
I had to uninstall all 2.0.xxx and 2.1.xxx .Net Core versions to get unblocked.

This is now fixed in the latest version
