Runtime error when running "Web Application" with no modifications

[tbehunin]

Trying to create/run a simple aspnet web app on OSX Yosemite. After typing yo aspnet, selecting Web Application, typing in the name of my project (foo), the project is successfully created. I then type dnx . kestrel to start the application and I get the following error:

System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to resolve project 'foo' from /Users/tbehunin/code/foo at Microsoft.Framework.Runtime.ApplicationHostContext..ctor (IServiceProvider serviceProvider, System.String projectDirectory, System.String packagesDirectory, System.String configuration, System.Runtime.Versioning.FrameworkName targetFramework, ICache cache, ICacheContextAccessor cacheContextAccessor, INamedCacheDependencyProvider namedCacheDependencyProvider, IAssemblyLoadContextFactory loadContextFactory, Boolean skipLockFileValidation) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Microsoft. (stacktrace continues on...)

Am I missing a command somewhere?

Also, the output when running yo aspnet specifies to use the k commands (kpm restore, kpm build, k run, k kestrel, etc). However, all the docs on the AspNet GitHub page reference dnx, dnvm, etc. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here..?

If you are running dnx, the beta4 branch is the dev home for that version.

The current release is still running k, so you would need to have that installed.

As a note k and DNX can run side by side.

Install instructions for k

brew tap aspnet\k
brew install kvm

Ok thanks @spboyer. After doing that (and installing grunt and bower), I was able to run kpm restore and received the Done, without errors. Restore complete. message.

However, when I type in kpm build or k kestrel, I get the following error:
System.IO.IOException: kqueue() FileSystemWatcher has reached the maximum nunmber of files to watch. at System.IO.KqueueMonitor.Add (System.String path, Boolean postEvents, System.Collections.Generic.List``1& fds) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.IO.KqueueMonitor.Scan (System.String path, Boolean postEvents, System.Collections.Generic.List``1& fds) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.IO.KqueueMonitor.Setup () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.IO.KqueueMonitor.DoMonitor () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

Any ideas?

Looks to be a known Mono issue..?

Ref this issue: aspnet/Mvc#2348

@tbehunin check the fix here for your .bash_profile
#138

It should work for k with no problems.

@spboyer Thanks - that got me past that hurdle. Once I enter k kestrel, I can now get to the app at http://localhost:5004.

One strange thing I found though, if I try kpm build, I get the following error:
System.IO.EndOfStreamException: Failed to read past end of stream. at System.IO.BinaryReader.ReadChar () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CvtResFile.ReadStringOrID (System.IO.BinaryReader fhIn) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CvtResFile.ReadResFile (System.IO.Stream stream) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Compilation.MakeWin32ResourceList (System.IO.Stream win32Resources, Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.DiagnosticBag diagnostics) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.CSharpCompilation.SetupWin32Resources (Micros (stacktrace continues..)

Even though it fails to build using that command, I can still successfully start the web app (k kestrel) and hit the app in a browser. Not sure what that's all about...

@tbehunin yes. duplicate of #140
