Qemu in Github Action Workflow with arm64 platform

[1fini]

Behaviour

[linux/arm64 publish 1/1] RUN dotnet publish "Automate.csproj" -c Release -o /app/publish:

/usr/share/dotnet/sdk/7.0.103/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/targets/Microsoft.NET.Sdk.DefaultItems.Shared.targets(201,5): error MSB4063: The "CheckForDuplicateItems" task could not be initialized with its input parameters. [/src/Automate/Automate.csproj]

Steps to reproduce this issue

1. Dockerfile with net7 app
2. Qemu to build image for platform arm64 on GitHub Actions

Can you post a basic Dockerfile for repro please?

Thank you @crazy-max for your comment and help. I updated my initial post with my dockerfile which is almost the same as the template provided by VS2022 at project creation time.

@1fini We've been seeing this issue, we fixed it by putting DOTNET_EnableWriteXorExecute=0 in front of every dotnet call.

RUN DOTNET_EnableWriteXorExecute=0 dotnet build "myproject.csproj" -c Release -o /app/build

It still doesn't resolve issues with multi-platform and especially arm64 builds running horrifically slow on the default github actions runners.

[darena-patrick]

did anyone figure this out? I added the DOTNET_EnableWriteXorExecute=0 and it took 30m to build vs the normal 3m or so - BUT with no errors! Any updates would be greatly appreciated! 30m on a GitHub runner adds up over time 😄
