This project now no longer fails to build, it is just a POC test project now... Thanks Microsoft! : )

Create project base folder

mkdir failed-spa-build

cd .\failed-spa-build\

Get the latest SPA templates

dotnet new --install Microsoft.DotNet.Web.Spa.ProjectTemplates::*

Make sure proper older angular CLI version is available globally

npm install -g @angular/[email protected]

Build a new Angular SPA app from template

dotnet new angular -f netcoreapp2.0 -o failed-spa-build

Build it

cd .\failed-spa-build\

dotnet build

Verify it can run in development mode

setx ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT "Development"

dotnet run

Verify it can publish

dotnet publish -c Release -o ../pub

cd ..

Create the test Dockerfile build files here...

These files can be found verbatim in this repository at:

Dockerfile.2.1-sdk

Dockerfile.aspnetcore

build the docker image from the microsoft/dotnet:2.1-sdk image

docker build -t failed-spa-build-sdk -f Dockerfile.2.1-sdk .

build the docker image from the microsoft/aspnetcore-build:2.0.8-2.1.200-nanoserver-sac2016 image

docker build -t failed-spa-build-aspnetcore -f Dockerfile.aspnetcore .

Running either of these commands results in:

  > [email protected] build C:\app\failed-spa-build-src\ClientApp
  > ng build --extract-css "--prod"

  module.js:549
      throw err;
