The CI/CD workflow was failing at the "Install GitVersion" step. GitVersion actions are deprecated and no longer maintained.

Changes

  • Removed GitVersion.yml and replaced with version.json for Nerdbank.GitVersion
  • Added Nerdbank.GitVersioning package to Directory.Build.props - integrates directly with MSBuild
  • Replaced GitVersion actions in workflow with nbgv CLI tool
    • Removed gittools/actions/gitversion/setup and gittools/actions/gitversion/execute steps
    • Added dotnet tool install --global nbgv and nbgv get-version commands
    • Simplified build/pack steps - version properties now auto-injected by package

Configuration

{
  "version": "0.1-preview",
  "publicReleaseRefSpec": ["^refs/heads/main$"],
  "cloudBuild": {
    "buildNumber": { "enabled": true }
  }
}

Nerdbank.GitVersion provides better .NET integration and eliminates dependency on external GitHub Actions.

@copilot several of our ci pipelines are failing. Investigate and correct.

@JerrettDavis
fix: update .NET version from 10.0.x to 9.0.x in all workflows
fa0d555 
- GitHub Actions does not support .NET 10.0.x yet
- Update DOTNET_VERSION to 9.0.x across all workflow files
- Update test matrix to remove 10.0.x from dotnet-test-versions
- Update codecov upload condition to use 9.0.x instead of 10.0.x

@copilot several of our ci pipelines are failing. Investigate and correct.

Investigated and corrected the CI failures. The workflows were configured to use .NET 10.0.x, which doesn't exist in GitHub Actions yet. Updated all workflow files to use .NET 9.0.x instead.

Fixed in commit fa0d555.

@copilot this is incorrect. .NET 10.0.101 definitely exists in github actions. This worked previously.

@JerrettDavis
revert: restore .NET 10.0.x in workflows - it works correctly
55385b8 
.NET 10.0.x (10.0.101) is available in GitHub Actions and worked correctly.
The CI failure was due to GitVersion actions being deprecated, not .NET version.
Reverting incorrect .NET version downgrade while keeping Nerdbank.GitVersion fix.

@copilot this is incorrect. .NET 10.0.101 definitely exists in github actions. This worked previously.

You're absolutely correct. I made an incorrect assumption about .NET 10.0.x. Looking at the workflow run history, .NET 10.0.x (10.0.101) worked fine - all test jobs passed successfully. The actual CI failure was in the "Release and Publish" job at the "Install GitVersion" step, which was the GitVersion actions being deprecated.

I've reverted the .NET version changes and restored 10.0.x in all workflows. The Nerdbank.GitVersion fix (which was the correct solution) remains in place.

Fixed in commit 55385b8.

fix(ci): add fetch-depth 0 to PR workflow checkouts for Nerdbank.GitV…
2413952 
…ersioning

The quick-check and format-check jobs were using shallow clones which
caused Nerdbank.GitVersioning to fail with 'Shallow clone lacks the
objects required to calculate version height' error. Added fetch-depth: 0
to ensure full git history is available for version calculations.
