Visual Studio On Mac

It seems we have to wait for 4.20 so Im going down the VMWare route for now.

HTH

it's the file path analysis problem

edit NopFileProvider line 438 like this
        /// <summary>
        /// Maps a virtual path to a physical disk path.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="path">The path to map. E.g. "~/bin"</param>
        /// <returns>The physical path. E.g. "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\bin"</returns>
        public virtual string MapPath(string path)
        {
            path = path.Replace("~/", string.Empty).TrimStart('/');   //.Replace('/', '\\');
            return Path.Combine(BaseDirectory ?? string.Empty, path);
        }

it will work

@whut_ray With this fix, is development fully working for you now on the Mac with Visual Studio?

We made 4.1 run on MAC doing the following:

Edited the path below to (NopFileProvider line 438) to:

public virtual string MapPath(string path)
{
      path = path.Replace("~/", string.Empty).TrimStart('/');   //.Replace('/', '\\');
      return Path.Combine(BaseDirectory ?? string.Empty, path);
}
and in project src/Build/ClearPluginAssemblies.proj we removed the following:

<Exec Command='dotnet "$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\ClearPluginAssemblies.dll" "OutputPath=$(OutputPath)|PluginPath=$(PluginPath)|SaveLocalesFolders=$(SaveLocalesFolders)"' />
