I'm working with asp.net core web app and trying to use libmam to manage client-side libs. I'm turn on "Enable Client-Side Libreries on Build" and write some code in libman.json:
{
"version": "1.0",
"defaultProvider": "cdnjs",
"defaultDestination": "wwwroot/lib",
"libraries": [
{
"library": "[email protected]",
"destination": "wwwroot/lib/jquery/"
}
]
}
Restoring libs works fine if I'm using "Restore Client-Side Libraries". But when I'm trying to build application I'm getting an error:"libman.json : error LIB002: The "[email protected]" library could not be resolved by the "cdnjs" provider".
How can I solve the problem?
So the reason, at least from what I've found, is that the library no longer exists or is not being seen by "cdnjs" provider.
The best way to deal with this is to update the library to a library that "cdnjs" does support. If you in fact already have the library installed consider using the "Disable libman" section.
The below instructions are being done on Visual Studio 2022, mileage may vary for other versions. If you have any issues consider using the "Re-add/Update" section.
Disable libman
Right click
libman.json
click on
Disable Client-Side Libraries on Build
Update your library
In your
libman.json
move your cursor over to the left most side of the file but to the right of the line numbersA little light bulb should show up.
You'll be greeted with a couple of options, Click on
Check for updates
(in my case I already have the latest version.)Select the version you want and VS will autofill the version on that line.
Re-add/update your library.
<NameOfProject>.csproj
file)Add
->Client-Side Library...
jquery@
, and then a dropdown list should appear allowing you to select the version you want.libman.json
file. Make sure to also delete the previous library if Visual Studio doesn't do that for you automatically.
