Build .NET Core 3.0 on Azure Pipelines
You can get the latest .NET Core 3 SDK by supplying 3.x instead of a specific version. Also note includePreviewVersions: true, which is required to make this work.
- task: UseDotNet@2
displayName: 'Use dotnet sdk 3.x'
inputs:
version: 3.x
includePreviewVersions: true
And you'll end up with something like this:
Source: .NET Core Tool Installer task
In case someone is using Web GUI instead of yaml
files.
It's possible to set up Agent Specification with windows-2019
value.
Such steps as dotnet test
will start using .Net Core 3.0:
You can install the .Net core SDK 3.0 during the pipeline with .Net Core SDK Installer task:
- task: UseDotNet@2
displayName: 'Install .net core 3.0 (preview)'
inputs:
packageType: sdk
version: '3.0.100-preview6-012264'
installationPath: $(Agent.ToolsDirectory)/dotnet
I specified the last preview version of .net core sdk 3.0, you can put an earlier version, you can find here the versions list.
Another option is to specify 3.0.x
and enable the preview versions:
version: 3.0.x
includePreviewVersions: true
Installation results:
You can also install the SDK via the "old" Pipeline editor. Add a new task and search for the ".NET Core SDK Installer." Then switch the version at the top to the latest preview version and it will offer you more options, like the "Include Preview Versions" check box. You'll still have to type in the version you want manually.
