DevOps hosted pipeline fail to build .NET Core 2.2

Question

With the release of .NET Core 2.2 I expected to be able to build such projects in our Microsoft-hosted DevOps (Azure) pipeline. But the restore step fails, saying 2.2 is not supported:

The project builds fine locally, so I think it is most likely that I'm missing something - especially as I come up with nothing on my internet search for similar errors.

Could it really be it is not supported yet?

Answer 1

I had the same problem with my pipeline. Here is the solution:

1. Add to your job (press plus button) in the pipeline task .NET Core SDK Installer. You can search for it in a search box

2. Make sure to put that task on the top of your job. You can use drag&drop.

3. Set up version of .Net Core SDK Installer at least the same your version.

You can see all available version by pressing on the "here" word the in the popup

Answer 2

OK, so there is a task ".NET Core Installer" that can be added before the Restore task, and by requesting 2.2.100 to be installed first of all the build passes.
