4.20 fails to build. ClearPluginAssemblies.proj

Run this command in console.

dotnet restore 

I ran into this as well. I fixed it by editing the ClearPluginAssemblies.proj and changing the command to the following:

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

Basically I just removed:  |SaveLocalesFolders=

The variable SaveLocalesFolders is not defined  and therefore resolves to false either way. After making this change I was able to build just fine.

Ignore my previous post - my solution was to build using msbuild v15 vs the msbuild v16 that was also installed on my build servers.

This solution worked for me.
I had on my computer all versions ranging from .net core 1.1 to .net core 3.1 .. Except 2.2.
Once I installed  2.2 the error was gone and the website ran smoothly.

Just rebuild the "Build" project ;)

Sorry, doesn't work anymore :(

i reinstalled windows for a video driver issue and then i ran into this problem.
What fixed it for me (i think) was:
- clean solution
- deleted bin and obj from Nop.Web (these were built previous to new windows install, so get rid of them)
- installed ASP.NET Core 2.2 Runtime (v2.2.5) <- i think this is what really made it work again (RUNTIME v2.2.5 because it is specified in a warning during the build)
- restore nuget packages

i hope this helps! for a little while, i was afraid i'd have to rebuild my site

This worked for me, after editing, clean and rebuid and it worked fine. thank you for sharing

We ran into this running a build in an Azure pipelines.  Adding a new task (at the beginning) of the agent job to "Use .NET Core sdk 2.2.207" worked for us.
