Error CS0534: '' does not implement inherited abstract member 'JsonSerializerContext.GeneratedSerializerOptions.get'
After introducing the System.Text.Json source generator in one of my projects, I happily moved on to another task. Until I got a build failed message from the CI build.
A look at the build logs showed the following error messages:
##[error]Example.Services\Infrastructure\JsonContext.cs(13,28): Error CS0534: 'JsonContext' does not implement inherited abstract member 'JsonSerializerContext.GeneratedSerializerOptions.get'
D:\b\3\_work\90\s\Example.Services\Infrastructure\JsonContext.cs(13,28): error CS0534: 'JsonContext' does not implement inherited abstract member 'JsonSerializerContext.GeneratedSerializerOptions.get' [D:\b\3\_work\90\s\Example.Services\Example.Services.csproj]
##[error]Example.Services\Infrastructure\JsonContext.cs(13,28): Error CS0534: 'JsonContext' does not implement inherited abstract member 'JsonSerializerContext.GetTypeInfo(Type)'
D:\b\3\_work\90\s\Example.Services\Infrastructure\JsonContext.cs(13,28): error CS0534: 'JsonContext' does not implement inherited abstract member 'JsonSerializerContext.GetTypeInfo(Type)' [D:\b\3\_work\90\s\Example.Services\Example.Services.csproj]
Strange! The local build succeeded without any issue. What could be wrong?
I scrolled further through the log file and noticed the following warning:
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\6.0.106\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.DefaultItems.targets(134,5): warning NETSDK1182: Targeting .NET 6.0 in Visual Studio 2019 is not supported. [D:\b\3\_work\90\s\VLM.IAM.Services.Tests\VLM.IAM.Services.Tests.csproj]
##[warning]C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\6.0.106\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.DefaultItems.targets(134,5): Warning NETSDK1182: Targeting .NET 6.0 in Visual Studio 2019 is not supported.
I did upgrade the project to .NET 6 before I introduced the source generator. Could the error above be related to this warning?
In the build pipeline I was still using the Visual Studio Build task to build my project. This task does not support yet Visual Studio 2022 when using Azure DevOps Server. We’ll have to wait for the Azure DevOps Server 2022 release before we can build a .NET 6 project with this task.
So to build a .NET 6 project, we’ll have to switch to the .NET Core CLI task.
This time when I triggered the CI build, both the warning and the 2 errors are gone.
