Allow building with PublishAot set #28495

Fixes #28475

The current PublishAot behavior is to attempt to restore the runtime pack for NativeAOT immediately. This doesn't work for osx-arm64, since there's no runtime pack for that RID. This causes even restore to fail, when it should succeed (as should build).

The new behavior is to only attempt to restore the runtime pack when publish is actually being run. An error message is also printed if an unsupported RID is used, although an "escape hatch" property is also provided to skip that error.

LGTM! ITs good that users can bypass the rid check in the SDK if needed when ILC packages with new rids get added

There's a similar list here: https://github.com/dotnet/installer/blob/main/src/redist/targets/GenerateBundledVersions.targets#L262-L263 - I think we should keep the list in just one place.

That list isn't correct -- it includes the macos RIDs. I need the real list here, as I want to provide an error for mac, not just let it go.

Right - I meant that we should update that list instead of adding another one.

OK, this logic is getting convoluted, but I think this split is what we want now.

We want the full list in restore, so that restore will try to grab it.

But we want the restricted list here, so that you get a clear error when you're doing something unsupported.

I might be missing something though.

Why do we want restore to try to grab it if it's unsupported? I'd still rather have one source of truth for the supported rids, and provide a way to disable that check if needed.

So, the experience I think we want (based on previous changes in this code) is:

  1. PublishAot on Mac = error unsupported.
  2. PublishAot on Mac w/ explicit bypass = works.

If that's true, the list of acceptable RIDs in (1) does not include osx, but it does in (2). I don't see how those could be the same list.

I don't quite follow - what's to prevent us from having a single list just for (1), and then not check against any list in (2)?

What happens if you do a dotnet restore with a supported RID? Does that still download the runtime pack that would be required to publish?

FYI _IsPublishing is only for CLI scenarios ATM, we are discussing if we can get it to work in VS Publishing today. We don't think we can get it to work for t:/Publish and plan on evaluating it in a Monday partner sync or in a separate call, I was planning on adding you @agocke

I'm sorry to say I don't have any immediate recommendations, I am curious as to how PublishTrimmed, single file, aot, etc currently work. The dilemma we're facing right now is detecting if we are publishing early in evaluation seems to be incompatible with MSBuild as it currently exists, because of custom Publish targets that call publish later on, --no-build publishes, etc. It seems like it should be so simple and something we really want; we have been going back and forth on this for a few months now!

Talking with @sbomer offline, maybe the right answer is just to not fail restore at all. We can give a better error message later.

I wanted to write down the scenario we discussed where not erroring during restore could be unexpected:

If I do a RID-specific restore with PublishAot set in my project, and it succeeds, then I expect to be able to do an offline dotnet publish --no-restore later. I can't say with certainty that this is an intentionally supported scenario, but I do see some value in producing the error up-front instead of waiting until publish.

Yup, the decision in this PR is that restore will never fail, even if the eventual publish certainly will.

I think this PR now represents a workable solution. Publish will, by default, check that the RID is supported and error if it is not.

If the check is bypassed, publish will attempt to use a downloaded package (which will be downloaded during restore if we've added it to the list of available packages, or if the user adds a new KnownILCompilerPack).

We have similar property in
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/cb6fb60dfc253bc13655fafa15686cb864fd0ea2/src/coreclr/nativeaot/BuildIntegration/Microsoft.NETCore.Native.Publish.targets#L58 .

Would it make sense to use one property to suppress all these supported checks?

  • Rename _SkipAotSupportedRidCheck -> SkipAotSupportedCheck here
  • Rename DisableUnsupportedError to SkipAotSupportedCheck in dotnet/runtime.

That makes sense, but I'd like to do that as a separate change, as I intend for this to go into .NET 7 as a servicing fix.

If you agree that we should use the same property name in all places, the property should be renamed in this servicing fix.

Ideally we shouldn't hard-code the supported RuntimeIdentifiers in a C# task. What's the reason for the mismatch between the values coming from the item and what's actually supported?

The mismatch is that we were trying to avoid blocking people who wanted to use unsupported, but available packages.

But being too broad here actually causes problems because attempting to download a missing package blocks restore/build.

We may want to have browser-wasm here for NativeAOT-LLVM support.

Usually when we add support for new RuntimeIdentifiers that ends up getting authored in the installer repo and flowing into items such as the KnownFrameworkReference or other items in Microsoft.NETCoreSdk.BundledVersions.props. Should we do that for this? How would we support it if we add support for new RuntimeIdentifiers for AoT, and the list of supported RIDs depends on the target framework?

Note that the list above (which is the supported list that flows from /installer), is not quite the same as the supported rids here, namely that osx-x64 is in the "to download" list but not in the "supported" list.

The only thing that matters for unsupported architectures is that there is some way for people who want to give it try. It does not need to be pretty. It is ok if it requires extra boilerplate like explicit reference to the osx package.

Does the new SkipAotSupportedCheck property enable that? If yes, I think it would be fine to get rid of this special-casing for available, but officially unsupported architectures.

Instead of checking whether a string contains the RuntimeIdentifier, shouldn't we be checking to see whether there is a valid HostILCompilerPack or TargetILCompilerPack instead for this error?

No, because osx-x64 has an ILCompilerPack, but isn't supported.

Started thinking about this and realized that having a single property for RIDs doesn't make sense as it needs to be per-TFM. I'll try to rewrite this. The implicit RID changes are also interesting --we might want to backport that.
