[BUG] Documentation / Build Task - Access to \Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\CodeGenerationModules denied

[ghost]

Following the steps described under "To build" here (https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/README.md), I ran into issues while executing "msbuild build.proj".

Setup delta:
Visual Studio 2019 Professional

#1 SN.exe is not available from 2019's Developer Command Prompt. One needs to specifically invoke it from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.7.2 Tools" (for some reason the DCP does not add this path to ENV while starting up?

#2 The steps ask us to exclude "tools\SdkBuildTools\tasks\net46\Microsoft.Azure.Sdk.Build.Tasks.dll". There is no such path(!). Instead, the current code base has a project that probably builds this DLL into the system.

#3 Ignoring #2, I went ahead and ran msbuild build.proj. The build itself ran fine, but suddenly threw up this error: \azure-sdk-for-net\tools\bootstrapTools\bootstrap.targets(5,4): error : Access to the path 'C:\Users\Sujay%20Sarma\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\CodeGenerationModules' is denied.

I hand-created that path and tried again. It failed again with the same error.

Thank you for opening this issue! We are routing it to the appropriate team for follow up.

@sujayvsarma can you tell me more about what you were trying to build?

@kurtzeborn @weshaggard with a clean repo, running msbuild build.proj at the root of the repo does not work:

Can one of you take a look?

@AlexGhiondea I think that is because we need to do a restore first. If you are working on the build.proj itself we likely need to run "dotnet build build.proj" which will do a restore first. @chidozieononiwu could you add some information in the docs about this please.

[chidozieononiwu]

I have added the changes to an existing PR #7098

[ghost]

Somehow, I missed the git-notification about this bug!

@AlexGhiondea - I was trying to build the repo as per the instructions in the BUILD doc.

@weshaggard - That doesn't work. I started with a clean folder, cloned this repo and followed the BUILD doc to a T.

@chidozieononiwu - I am sorry, but your PR contains confusing instructions.

[weshaggard]

@sujayvsarma can you please list out the exact commands you have run and the output you are receiving?

[ghost]

@weshaggard I have already provided the complete list of steps in my original bug report at the top of this thread. What more are you looking for?

[chidozieononiwu]

@sujayvsarma The contributing guide has been updated. The steps requiring sn.exe are no longer included.

[weshaggard]

@sujayvsarma the steps you outlined in your original post are not the steps in the documentation. Have you tried running dotnet build build.proj?

[ghost]

Okay. Then go ahead and consider this closed.
