Getting wrong .NET version

[chilo-ms]

Description:

Our CI is supposed to use .NET version 8/9 but it's using the latest .NET version 10.0.0 to run dotnet CLI which makes our CI failed.

....
Failed to load the dll from [C:\Program Files\dotnet\host\fxr\10.0.0\hostfxr.dll], HRESULT: 0x800700C1
The library hostfxr.dll was found, but loading it from C:\Program Files\dotnet\host\fxr\10.0.0\hostfxr.dll failed
  - Installing .NET prerequisites might help resolve this problem.
     https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=798306
Failed to resolve hostfxr.dll [C:\Program Files\dotnet\host\fxr\10.0.0\hostfxr.dll]. Error code: 0x80008082
...

Even though the YAML specifies:

      - name: Use .NET 8.x
        uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v5
        with:
          dotnet-version: '8.x'
        env:
          PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE: x86 # x86 .NET

or providing the global.json as suggested:

      - name: Create global.json
        shell: pwsh
        working-directory: ${{ github.workspace }}
        run: |
          $globalJson = @{
            sdk = @{
              version = "8.0.100"
              rollForward = "latestMinor"
            }
          } | ConvertTo-Json
          $globalJson | Out-File -FilePath "global.json" -Encoding utf8

Both didn't work.

How can we address this issue? We want to use the dotnet 8 or 9.

We are having the same issue. We are specifying 8.0.x as the version number, but it is installing both .NET 10 and .NET 8 SDKs. We probably wouldn't have noticed this except for .NET 10 is breaking something else in our build.

      - name: Setup .NET 8 SDK
        uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v5 # also tried v4.3.1
        with:
          dotnet-version: '8.0.x'
        if: ${{ startswith(matrix.framework, 'net8.') }}

According to ChatGPT, this may be happening because the setup-dotnet.ps1 script is out of date.

Note that this only seems to be happening on windows-latest for us, we also have this setup on ubuntu-latest, but in that case it is installing correctly.

Hi there. The same issue started tripping our CI jobs after .NET 10 hit the GHA runner machines.

• CI: .NET integration tests went south with .NET SDK 10.0.100 popping up on all slots crate/cratedb-examples#1250

Following relevant advises fixed the test matrix for us, so we can trust the GHA workflow will be actually using the designated .NET version now. Populating the .NET version into the global.json file worked well for us, see crate/cratedb-examples@be491d38e.

- name: Create `global.json`
  run: |
    echo '{"sdk":{"version": "${{ steps.dotnet.outputs.dotnet-version }}"}}' > ./global.json

Now, we can separately approach updating CI/GHA to use .NET 10, where we are receiving a different error than yours. In our case, the workflow is tripping on ubuntu-latest.

• .NET/CI: Validate on .NET 10.x crate/cratedb-examples#1253
