Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Actors actor manifest generator fails to run

[wasabii]

The Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Actors manifest generator in Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Actors.targets fails to run on .NET Core 2.0 and .NET Core 3.0, under some circumstances such as building inside Visual Studio.

The error is that it attempts to Exec the dotnet command. However, since Visual Studio is running 32 bit, the PATH is such that the 32 bit version of dotnet is executed. However, FabActUtil.dll is 64 bit only.

The .NET 4.5 version of the package works fine since it just runs the .exe.

Popping open the targets file and sticking C:\Program Files\dotnet\ on the front of the <Exec /> statement fixes it.

I am experiencing this on 4.0.466 of the NuGet package.

@anantshankar17 @dbreshears Could you please help with this?

@wasabii, do you continue to reproduce this on 2.1/3.1 LTS releases? If you are still hitting this, can you please provide steps or project that reproduces? I tried default .Net Core 3.1 Actor project just now with latest 4.1.409 of the Microsoft.ServiceFabric.Actors Nuget package and couldn't reproduce the issue building in VS.

I will check today.
