Building Source Code on Mac results in ClearPluginAssemblies.dll

Hello,

I'm trying to get started developing plugins for nopCommerce on my Mac.
I've just installed Visual Studio for Mac and a fresh 4.2 copy of nopCommerce source code.

When I open it up in Visual Studio and click either the Play Icon or try and Build, Rebuild etc I am greeted with an error inside my 'ClearPluginAssemblies.proj'

It's quite a long error stating:

/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Build/ClearPluginAssemblies.proj(5,5): Error MSB3073: The command "dotnet "ClearPluginAssemblies.dll" "OutputPath=/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Build/../Presentation/Nop.Web/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.2/|PluginPath=/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/DiscountRules.CustomerRoles/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/ExchangeRate.EcbExchange/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/ExternalAuth.Facebook/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Misc.SendinBlue/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Payments.CheckMoneyOrder/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Payments.Manual/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Payments.PayPalStandard/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Payments.Qualpay/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Payments.Square/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Pickup.PickupInStore/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Shipping.FixedByWeightByTotal/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Shipping.UPS/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Tax.Avalara/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Tax.FixedOrByCountryStateZip/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Widgets.GoogleAnalytics/;/Users/davidfoley/Documents/NopCommerce/Sandbox/src/Presentation/Nop.Web/Plugins/Widgets.NivoSlider/|SaveLocalesFolders="" exited with code 150.

Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?

Thanks

Do you have installed dotnet core 3.0 sdk on your machine? This can create some annoying issues.  

Anyway you can check this thread.

Thanks,

I had a look at that other post and tried what they said but sadly didn't work.

I've just admitted defeat and started a Windows VM on Azure and hope that works.

managed to resolve this.

I tried it on my Azure Vm and it also didn't work but actually gave me a helpful error which said I did dot net core 2.2  and a link

I went back to my Mac, downloaded it from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.2
Cleaned it, rebuilt it, ran in and it worked!
