Support for .Net core

Open naveedahmed1 opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

Any plans to add support for .net core?

I would certainly like to. I've run the compatibility check and while there are some issues with dependent libraries not being compatible with .NET Core, it's nothing that can't be resolved. I need to get the CI system for the project back up and running first, but that would be near the top of my issues to address after that.

Thank you so much @dwalleck for your reply. Have you checked it for .Net Core 2.0, they have now support for most of the libraries.

Can you please also confirm, once upgraded if this will work for Rackspace Cloud Files as well?

I get an error when making calls to the services, pointing that the culprit is a dependency (Flurl). Is it going to be fixed?

The challenge that I'm working through is that the version of Flurl that was used to originally implement these clients is quite old, and the API has had several breaking changes since then. Essentially, I need to gut the HTTP layer across the board for all clients and either use the newer version of Flurl or the now much improved HTTPClient. The challenge has been finding a window of time to do the work and give myself enough confidence that I haven't made any breaking changes, or at least minimizing those. I may be thinking too cautiously, as this package won't be very useful unless it is able to roll forward to modern versions of .NET. Unfortunately I took over this project right before I had my first child and I just haven't had the spare time that I was used to having. I'll do some thinking this week and try to put together the steps I need to get done in a GitHub Project so that people can track the progress of what needs to be done.

Where's @rackspace support for this project? If they have any interest in them keeping .NET applications on their platform, they we need .NET Core support in OpenStack.net, especially for the Cloud Files access.
