[StephenBonikowsky]

@bobcat1506 Thanks for reporting the issue, we will look into it.

[bobcat1506]

Any update on this? We have an app in production that is misbehaving and believe pre-generating the serialization assembly will resolve it.

[StephenBonikowsky]

Working on a fix right now, then need to get it packaged and published, shouldn't be too long before we have a fixed version up on NuGet.

[StephenBonikowsky]

Re-opening so we can use this issue to track package validation and publishing.

[StephenBonikowsky]

• build test package out of master and validate package
• cherry-pick fix from master to 3.1
• update package versioning and build release package
• final package validation
• publish new package to NuGet and delist previous packages.

[StephenBonikowsky]

@bobcat1506 Here is a private package of the tool which has the fix if you want to try it.
It will take a few days to produce a final release package and get it listed on NuGet.
dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer.1.2.0-preview1.20104.1.zip

FYI, there is another issue to be aware of with this tool, see #4154

[bobcat1506]

Thanks @StephenBonikowsky. Both this issue and #4154 have impacted us significantly and frankly seem like pretty big misses from a regression testing perspective. Will there be regression tests in the future to prevent these types of issues in future framework updates? Any ETA on a fix for #4154?

[pmiddleton]

@StephenBonikowsky - Any update on when the 1.2 package will hit nuget? Are you waiting on a fix for #4154 first?

[StephenBonikowsky]

@pmiddleton We are proceeding with the final packaging changes, we can't wait on #4154. Assuming no complications we are shooting for a release to NuGet next week.

[bq1756]

Any complications? Do you believe 1.2 will be released this week?

[StephenBonikowsky]

We had a build failure, infrastructure related, working to get it resolved and then final package validation before publishing the package.

[pmiddleton]

[StephenBonikowsky]

We got a good build and the package is going through some final validation steps and will then go to NuGet.

@dasetser will update and close this issue once it gets to NuGet.

[bobcat1506]

Any ETA on when final validation will be complete?

[StephenBonikowsky]

@dasetser @HongGit Is there an update on the package moving to NuGet?

[dasetser]

This was pushed to NuGet earlier today. You can find the new package at https://www.nuget.org/packages/dotnet-svcutil.xmlserializer/1.2.0

[bobcat1506]

I've updated the package reference and tried building it on Ubuntu targeting netcoreapp2.1, netcoreapp3.0 and netcoreapp3.1 and every time I get the same error:
