doesn't work with dotnet aspnet-codegenerator

[pgrm]

Hello, when I run dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity I get errors, that it can't find the auto generated constructors. Specifically: Failed to compile the project in memory

Building project ...
Finding the generator 'identity'...
Running the generator 'identity'...
Failed to compile the project in memory

dotnet build works of course, so I'm wondering if this is an issue with the aspnet-codegenerator tool chain, or rather with the way the RecordGenerator registers itself for the builds.

Thanks for your help

Hi. I haven't used dotnet asp-codegenerator, but indeed indeed, there will always be issues when you use two different code generation frameworks.

RecordGenerator uses CodeGeneration.Roslyn underneath: https://github.com/AArnott/CodeGeneration.Roslyn

I won't have time to debug how aspnet-codegenerator runs MSBuild targets, but it should be possible. Have you tried building the project via dotnet build and then running dotnet aspnet-codegenerator identity --no-build?

@amis92 thx for getting back to me, yes we tried that, and it's still saying Failed to compile the project in memory - the aspnet-generator is different from yours, as it should be rather similar to ef core migrations (which by the way work just fine), in the sense that the aspnet-generator should simply scaffold some views / models / ... which will be afterwards committed into the repository.

Ok, I'll get in touch with the repository where the generator is hosted and ask there as well 😃

@pgrm Hello. I have this problem too. How did you solve this error?
