ICU Package installation Linux - c#

When I try to run a c# program on my linux controller I get the following error:
Process terminated. Couldn't find a valid ICU package installed on the system. Set the configuration flag System.Globalization.Invariant to true if you want to run with no globalization support.
at System.Environment.FailFast(System.String)

I want to install an ICU package to get rid of this error. So I downloaded a package from this site:
Internationnal Components for Unicode
When I installed the package on the controller I still got the message. Is there any proper way to install an ICU package on the linux controller so I can get rid of this message?
P.S. (turning globalization invariant on is not an option because my code (SQL-Server) does not allow it to be on...)

you can disable ICU usage putting this in your .csproj:
<PropertyGroup>
<InvariantGlobalization>true</InvariantGlobalization>
</PropertyGroup>
before running your project, delete manually /bin and /obj

Azure Pipelines unable to find .Net framework version 4.0

My solution uses the latest version of .net which is 4.8. However, I see the following error message that complaints about a version 4.0 in Azure Pipelines. Can someone let me know how I could resolve this please ?
The error message indicates I need to install 4.0 but I don't think that's the solution. I also opened up the file Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets and line 1221 has the following. However, I know it is not advisable to edit this file.
<!-- By default if there is no root path set then the task will assume it is Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework-->

<Output TaskParameter="TargetFrameworkMonikerDisplayName" PropertyName="TargetFrameworkMonikerDisplayName" Condition="'$(TargetFrameworkMonikerDisplayName)' == ''"/>
</GetReferenceAssemblyPaths>
The error message:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\MSBuild\Current\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(1221,5): Error MSB3644: The reference assemblies for .NETFramework,Version=v4.0 were not found. To resolve this, install the Developer Pack (SDK/Targeting Pack) for this framework version or retarget your application. You can download .NET Framework Developer Packs at https://aka.ms/msbuild/developerpacks
Note: There are many similar post in SO that suggest to install VS2019. However, I am getting this message while running the application on Azure Pipelines.
Update
From your description, you are using the Microsoft host agent and the pipeline pop out issue 'cannot found NETFramework,Version=v4.0'.
Your environment looks like this:
https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/win/Windows2019-Readme.md#net-framework
or
https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/blob/main/images/win/Windows2022-Readme.md#net-framework
You can see that the Microsoft host agent does not have the environment you mentioned.
Although you can install what you need at the beginning of the pipeline startup, I do not recommend this practice. Because when you choose microsoft host agent, every time you start the pipeline, you will be assigned a brand new azure VM machine, which means you need to install the relevant environment every time.
The recommended approach is to use a self-host agent. Please create a self-host agent based on your local machine (or another machine with the relevant environment), the steps are as follows:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/v2-windows?view=azure-devops
Provided above are the installation steps of windows self host agent, the steps should be very simple, if you encounter any problems please let me know.
And after that, you can run your pipeline based on that self host agent like this:
pool:
name: <your agent pool name>
If you are using classic pipeline, just click and select:
(If you run successfully on local, then the agent based on local machine should also be no problem.)
And if this is still unable to solve your issue, could you please remove the in-private information and share the YAML file or JSON file, and let me know at which step you encountered this issue?

Reinstalling our software(s) like IDE or dotnet or both.
It may cause not to be installed correctly.
The final is so funny. Re-install your OS and then other softwares.

Anyone know what the issue might be?
I'm on .NET core on Windows 10, version 5.0.201. I checked the Github for the package I'm importing and it seems to be built in 4.5.1, could that be the issue? If so I might try recompiling the source locally.

I installed the dotnet core sdk using the ubuntu store and after that I also installed Rider IDE.
The weird thing here is that when I run the app using Rider it runs fine, the only issue is using terminal dotnet core commands.
Does anybody know what might be the issue ?
The application is created using Rider. I don't think that this plays a role but just as a side fact.
I know there are also other ways to install dotnet core in ubuntu but since the sdk is available in the ubuntu story I thought it should work out of the box and of course its an easier choice.
Also tried this one but does not seem to work for me. Still the same issue happens after running the commands.
The alternative solution as described in Microsoft documentation is to set environment variable before running your app
export DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1
If you want to run with no globalization support, you need to get "System.Globalization.Invariant": true into your published output AppName.runtimeconfig.json file as shown in the example below:
{
"runtimeOptions": {
"tfm": "netcoreapp3.0",
"configProperties": {
"System.GC.Server": true,
"System.Globalization.Invariant": true
}
}
}
You can add it manually every time you deploy by adding or updating the AppName.runtimeconfig.json file. Better yet, add it once to a runtimeconfig.template.json file like this:
{
"configProperties": {
"System.Globalization.Invariant": true
}
}
Make sure that runtimeconfig.template.json is included in build/publish.
It seem the package libicu63 will provide the ico support for dotnet on Linux, at least on Debian'ish distros.
Update:
And it seems it's "missing" when doing a small installing of Debian (i.e. deselect all applications/system-options in the installation program, except for SSH server)
The trick around it on Ubuntu 20.04 based on this thread https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/2186#issuecomment-671105420
$export DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1
Yes. When installing Github action in Debian. It is also required.
As the response from MrCalvin,
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -qqq libicu63 resolve my issue.
edit your .bashrc file by adding the following line, e.g.:
nano ~/.bashrc
add
export DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1
Ctrl+o, Ctrl+x
restart terminal and run pwsh again
I had this issue while trying to run Umbraco version 9.2.0. Fiddling with System.Globalization.Invariant was not a good solution as it broke globalization in the backoffice. This issue has been solved in v9.4: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/pull/11961
I didn't want to upgrade my Umbraco version to solve this, so I just copied the change in that commit to my project.
Simply go into the .csproj file of your web project and change the ICU package reference lines to:
<!-- Force windows to use ICU. Otherwise Windows 10 2019H1+ will do it, but older windows 10 and most if not all winodws servers will run NLS -->
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="Microsoft.ICU.ICU4C.Runtime" Version="68.2.0.9" />
<RuntimeHostConfigurationOption
Condition="$(RuntimeIdentifier.StartsWith('linux')) Or $(RuntimeIdentifier.StartsWith('win')) Or ('$(RuntimeIdentifier)' == '' And !$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('osx')))"
Include="System.Globalization.AppLocalIcu"
Value="68.2.0.9" />
</ItemGroup>
In my case, I followed the Windows documentation to install SDK dependencies and Runtime, watch out for the corresponding version to each Linux distribution to avoid compatibility issues.
This helped me override the default ICU version to the one that's installed on the machine running arch linux.
export CLR_ICU_VERSION_OVERRIDE=$(pacman -Q icu | awk '{split($0,a," ");print a[2]}' | awk '{split($0,a,"-");print a[1]}')

Deploy a C# Stateful Service Fabric application from Visual Studio to Linux

EDIT 04/06/18 => Updated question with last status
So I have this working .Net 4.6 Stateful Service that currently run on my Windows Service Fabric cluster deployed on Azure.
Starting from 09/2017, I should be able to move to Linux: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/azureservicefabric/2017/09/25/service-fabric-6-0-release/
So I'm trying to deploy it on Linux so I can save costs.
First things first, I've migrated all my code from .Net 4.6 to .Net Core 2.0. Now I can compile my binaries without issues. I've basically created new .Net Core projects and then moved all my source code from .Net 4.6 projects to the new .Net Core ones.
Then I've updated my Service Fabric application. I removed my previous SF services from my sfproj, then I've added my new .Net Core ones.
Looks like there is a warning (nothing on the output window though), but it's here anyway if I try to create a new empty Statful service using .Net core 2.0 through the template provided by Service Fabric Tools 2.0 (beta):
So I'm going to live with it.
On my dev machine, I've modified the 2 csproj projects that contain my Stateful services so they can run locally as Windows executables. I've used the win7-x64 runtimeIdentifier.
Running my SF cluster locally on my Windows machine is fine.
Then I've slightly changed the previous csproj files for Linux. I used the ubuntu.16.10-x64 runtimeIdentifier.
Also I've changed the ServiceManifest.xml file to target the linux-compatible binary:
<!-- Code package is your service executable. -->
<CodePackage Name="Code" Version="1.9.6">
<EntryPoint>
<ExeHost>
<Program>entryPoint.sh</Program>
</ExeHost>
</EntryPoint>
</CodePackage>
entryPoint.sh is a basic script that eventually executes:
dotnet $DIR/MyService.dll
Then I've successfully deployed to my secured SF Linux cluster from Visual Studio. Unfortunately I have the following errors for both my stateful services:
Error event: SourceId='System.Hosting',
Property='CodePackageActivation:Code:EntryPoint'. There was an error
during CodePackage activation.The service host terminated with exit
code:134
Looks like my binary crashes when starting. So here are my questions:
Is the approach right to deploy a C# .Net Core SF stateful service on Linux from Visual Studio?
EDIT: looking inside the LinuxsyslogVer2v0 table, I get the following error:
starthost.sh[100041]: Unhandled Exception:
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly
'System.Threading.Thread, Version=4.1.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. The located assembly's manifest
definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from
HRESULT: 0x80131040)
I found the following bug report: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/1502
Unfortunately, I still get the error without using MSBuild (using dotnet deploy).
EDIT: further clarification:
My boss want me to run on Linux because starting from D1v2 machines, it's half the price compared to Windows machines (no license etc.)
My .NET Core 2.0 services successfully run on Windows. So the .NET Core port should be fine.
So, this was a real pain in the ass to get it working properly. But it works. Well, kind of.
First, Reliable Services are still in preview on Linux: https://github.com/Microsoft/service-fabric/issues/71
Full Linux support should come very soon (actually it should be available already according to the previous link...).
Now for the details about how to procede, here is some information to help others, because there is just nothing about that on Microsoft documentation and I literally lost 3 days trying to make it work.
1. Do use .NET Core 2.0 for your projects.
It is supported on Linux. On preview for now, but it works.
2. Do use the right RID for your projects.
As of today (April 2018), the right RID to use is ubuntu.16.04-x64.
Edit the csproj files of your Reliable Service projects and set the RID like this:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
<IsServiceFabricServiceProject>True</IsServiceFabricServiceProject>
<RuntimeIdentifier>ubuntu.16.04-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
<Platforms>AnyCPU;x64</Platforms>
</PropertyGroup>
The fun part is, you should be able to provide multiple RIDs using the RuntimeIdentifiers parameter (with a S at the end) like that:
<PropertyGroup>
<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
<IsServiceFabricServiceProject>True</IsServiceFabricServiceProject>
<RuntimeIdentifiers>win7x64;ubuntu.16.04-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
<Platforms>AnyCPU;x64</Platforms>
</PropertyGroup>
So you could build Windows binaries and Linux binaries at the same time.
But it simply doesn't work. When building the project from Visual Studio, I end up with the following directory only:
bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/
Only DLLs, no valid entry point. No win7-x64 folder, no ubuntu.16.04-x64, no nothing.
This is a bug, supposed to be fixed, but it's not (I use Visual Studio 15.6.2 all up-to-date as of today). See https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/1039
3. You need a valid Entry Point for your service.
On Windows it's an executable file (*.exe). On Linux it's not. I ended up getting the Linux C# example and copied/pasted the entry point. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-create-your-first-linux-application-with-csharp
So basically I now have on my ServiceManifest.xml file of each Reliable Service the following EntryPoint :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ServiceManifest Name="XXXX"
Version="1.0.0"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2011/01/fabric"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<ServiceTypes>
<!-- This is the name of your ServiceType.
This name must match the string used in RegisterServiceType call in Program.cs. -->
<StatefulServiceType ServiceTypeName="YYY" HasPersistedState="true" />
</ServiceTypes>
<!-- Code package is your service executable. -->
<CodePackage Name="Code" Version="1.0.0">
<EntryPoint>
<ExeHost>
<Program>entryPoint.sh</Program>
</ExeHost>
</EntryPoint>
</CodePackage>
entryPoint.sh is as follows:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
check_errs()
{
# Function. Parameter 1 is the return code
if [ "${1}" -ne "0" ]; then
# make our script exit with the right error code.
exit ${1}
fi
}
DIR=`dirname $0`
echo 0x3f > /proc/self/coredump_filter
source $DIR/dotnet-include.sh
dotnet $DIR/NAME_OF_YOUR_SERVICE_DLL.dll $#
check_errs $?
dotnet-include.sh is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
. /etc/os-release
linuxDistrib=$ID
if [ $linuxDistrib = "rhel" ]; then
source scl_source enable rh-dotnet20
exitCode=$?
if [ $exitCode != 0 ]; then
echo "Failed: source scl_source enable rh-dotnet20 : ExitCode: $exitCode"
exit $exitCode
fi
fi
Both are inside the PackageRoot folder. I specified for both their properties so the Build Action is "Content" and the Copy to Output Directory is "Copy always".
4. Do NOT build using MSBuild !!
Yeah it is supposed to build Linux packages too, or at least it seems so, because MSBuild is able to produce the following files when you right click on your project and click "Build":
Don't trust the apparent success of the operation, it will miserably FAIL to properly execute when deployed. Some *.so files missing and other issues. MSBuild is buggy as hell and misbehaves regarding dependencies.
See for instance this bug report: https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/1502
Still not fixed after almost a year...
Or https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/977 (got this one, too).
5. Do write some PowerShell script to build the stuff by yourself.
I ended up reinventing the wheel using the following script to build my package:
# Creating binaries for service 1
cd DIRECTORY_OF_MY_SERVICE_1
dotnet publish -c Release -r ubuntu.16.04-x64
# Creating binaries for service 2
cd ..\DIRECTORY_OF_MY_SERVICE_2
dotnet publish -c Release -r ubuntu.16.04-x64
# Creating binaries for service 3
cd ..\DIRECTORY_OF_MY_SERVICE_3
dotnet publish -c Release -r ubuntu.16.04-x64
# Copying ApplicationManifest.xml
cd ..
mkdir PKG\ServiceFabricApplication
echo F|xcopy "ServiceFabricApplication\ApplicationPackageRoot\ApplicationManifest.xml" "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\ApplicationManifest.xml" /sy
# Copying Service1 files
mkdir "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service1Pkg"
mkdir "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service1Pkg\Code"
xcopy "Service1\PackageRoot\*" "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service1Pkg" /sy /D
xcopy "Service1\bin\Release\netcoreapp2.0\ubuntu.16.04-x64\publish\*" "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service1Pkg\Code" /sy
# Copying Service2 files
mkdir "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service2Pkg"
mkdir "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service2Pkg\Code"
xcopy "Service2\PackageRoot\*" "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service2Pkg" /sy /D
xcopy "Service2\bin\Release\netcoreapp2.0\ubuntu.16.04-x64\publish\*" "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service2Pkg\Code" /sy
# Copying Service3 files
mkdir "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service3Pkg"
mkdir "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service3Pkg\Code"
xcopy "Service3\PackageRoot\*" "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service3Pkg" /sy /D
xcopy "Service3\bin\Release\netcoreapp2.0\ubuntu.16.04-x64\publish\*" "PKG\ServiceFabricApplication\Service3Pkg\Code" /sy
# Compresses the package
Write-host "Compressing package..."
Copy-ServiceFabricApplicationPackage -ApplicationPackagePath .\PKG\ServiceFabricApplication -CompressPackage -SkipCopy
sfproj file is a Visual Studio / MSBuild related project, so you need to build everything by yourself.
The script above produces the same content as the pkg folder created by MSBuild when building your sfproj using Visual Studio. It copies everything on a PKG folder at the root of your solution.
The package structure is detailed here: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/master/articles/service-fabric/service-fabric-package-apps.md
6. Now it's time to deploy!
At this point I didn't trusted Visual Studio anymore, so I built my own PowerShell script:
. .\ServiceFabricApplication\Scripts\Deploy-FabricApplication.ps1 -ApplicationPackagePath '.\PKG\ServiceFabricApplication' -PublishProfileFile '.\ServiceFabricApplication\PublishProfiles\Cloud.xml' -DeployOnly:$false -ApplicationParameter:#{} -UnregisterUnusedApplicationVersionsAfterUpgrade $false -OverrideUpgradeBehavior 'None' -OverwriteBehavior 'SameAppTypeAndVersion' -SkipPackageValidation:$false -ErrorAction Stop
It reuses the Deploy-FabricApplication.ps1 script provided by the Service Fabric project template inside the sfproj project. This script parses the Cloud.xml PublishProfile and deploys to your service fabric cluster.
So you specifies the rights values on both PublishProfiles/Cloud.xml and ApplicationParameters/Cloud.xml then execute the script.
It only works if you have the certificate used to secure the cluster installed on your machine, of course.
Do note the first dot '.' is important, because if you don't use it, you'll have the following error:
Get-ServiceFabricClusterManifest : Cluster connection instance is null
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/38104087/870604
Oh, and as there are bugs on the Service Fabric SDK too, you might want to shutdown your local SF cluster too...
https://github.com/Azure/service-fabric-issues/issues/821
7. Now it's time for another deception.
It simply doesn't work, the service crashes on startup. After searching hours inside the LinuxsyslogVer2v0 Azure Storage table (the log table for Linux, located in one of the two Azure Storage Accounts created automatically with the SF cluster), I found that Microsoft own Nuget Packages were buggy too.
Specifically, the Nuget package Microsoft.Azure.Devices doesn't work on version 1.6.0. An issue with a reference of a dll not found or whatever. I rollbacked to a previous version, namely 1.5.1, and it was fixed.
At this point I didn't had anymore energy to create another Github issue about that. Sorry MS, I'm not your QA team, I'm getting tired.
8. Build again using the first PowerShell script, deploy using the second PowerShell script, and you're done.
You've finally deployed C# Reliable Services using .NET Core 2.0 from Visual Studio (kind of, as it's buggy and I used PowerShell) on Windows to a Linux SF Cluster.
Now I still have issues with my ASP.NET Core service, but it will be a story for another day.
Conclusion: TL;DR
The whole thing is a mess. Bugs everywhere. In the SDK, in the tools, in some of Microsoft Nuget Packages. Awful experience. But it is supported (in preview for now) and you can make it work. Hope this post will help...
I was having similar issues, but I believe this is the issue:
In this release, .NET Core 2.0 services are only supported on Service Fabric for Windows. Full cross-platform support for .NET Core 2.0 services on Windows and Linux is coming soon.
From the Service Fabric 6.1 Release Notes
So no Linux as long as you are targeting .net core 2.0.
