自托管 MacOS 代理上的 DevOps 管道在 NuGet package 恢复但适用于 Azure 管道上失败

Question

I faced a problem with running a DevOps pipeline on self-hosted MacOS (Catalina) build agent and it fails on the step NuGet Package Restore. The same step is successful when run on Azure Pipeline agent.

The error is:

Unable to locate executable file: 'mono'. Please verify either the file path exists or the file can be found within a directory specified by the PATH environment variable. Also check the file mode to verify the file is executable.

Answer 1

Microsoft has configure the mono in the hosted agent , so you can run the pipeline successfully via hosted agent. Self-hosted agent need configure it and then you can run the pipeline successfully.

Configure mono

1. Install mono on the local machine which has installed the self-hosted agent
2. After the installation completed successfully, run the sample to verify Mono is working correctly.
3. Configure the environment variable of mono on the local machine.
