How to find out which packages target .NET 3.1 in a .NET 5 application?
After upgrading a Web application from ASP.NET Core 3.1 to ASP.NET Core 5.0, it worked fine on an existing server.
However, when deployed on a server that had only .NET 5.0 installed, the application pool crashed and said (as a logged event) that .NET Core 3.1 is missing.
Clearly, some packages were not fully upgraded. The target framework is 5.0 for all projects and all Microsoft.*
NuGet packages are using 5.* versions (e.g. EntityFramework).
I am wondering how can I find which packages (or other settings?) still require .NET 3.1.
I found dotnet list package for listing all solution packages and tried the following:
dotnet list Ubisoft.PtbNext.sln package --include-transitive --outdated --highest-minor
which provided all packages, including the "transitive" ones:
The following sources were used:
https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json
https://artifactory.Foo.org/api/nuget/nuget/
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NuGetPackages\
Project `Foo.Bar.WebApi` has the following updates to its packages

I have checked the list, but I cannot figure out how can I deduct which package is to blame for not using .NET 5.
Any idea about how to find out the culprit?

You could start to track down the problem by using Assembly.LoadFrom() to attempt loading each library individually.
I have a routine in a .NET 5 solution that performs some analysis on assemblies deployed with my application. I retooled it a bit here to make something that would work as part of a console application your could run in your .NET 5 only environment as a step in the debugging process.
// Look for DLL plugins
foreach (string pluginDll in Directory.GetFiles(".", "*.dll", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
{
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Attempting to load " + pluginDll);
Assembly.LoadFrom(pluginDll);
Console.WriteLine(pluginDll + " Loaded");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex);
}
}
If you run this from the location of your application, it will try to load all dlls and will give you feedback about which ones can and can't load.
A full working code in .NET 5 that shows a meaningful string to identify the target framework:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var dirPath = "full path to directory containing all assemblies";
var loadedDlls = new HashSet<string>();
foreach (string pluginDll in Directory.GetFiles(dirPath, "*.dll", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
{
string filename = Path.GetFileName(pluginDll);
if (loadedDlls.Contains(filename))
{
Console.WriteLine($"{filename} already loaded");
continue;
}
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Attempting to load " + pluginDll);
var assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(pluginDll);
var targetFwk = assembly.CustomAttributes.FirstOrDefault(a => a.AttributeType == typeof(TargetFrameworkAttribute));
Console.WriteLine($"{pluginDll}: Target fwk = {targetFwk?.ConstructorArguments[0].Value}");
loadedDlls.Add(filename);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex);
}
}
}
