Bundle command should work with different versions

[yekalkan]

We will separate framework and cli versions soon. So, version matching in bundle command will be a problem.

@maliming You can ask me and @enisn for more information.

[enisn]

Here is the case:

ABP CLI version is 8.1.1 and when you try to run abp bundle for project with ABP version 8.0.2 it fails to load DLLs since because it tries to load all project assemblies into CLI's own process at runtime,

[maliming]

It works for me.

[enisn]

This is a wider problem, maybe we can install local tool in the directory with the same version with project instead using global in project folders

[maliming]

it fails to load DLLs

How can I reproduce this?

[enisn]

It works now with 8.3/8.2 CLI on 8.0 projects. But When you try to bundle project 7.4 or version with breaking-changes it'll fail.

How about placing dotnet-tools.json in projects with the same version of project and execute always same CLI version with project?

[enisn]

Each project can use their own version CLI different than global cli version

[maliming]

Developers should use the same CLI version as the project package version, at least the same NET platform version. (net 7, net 8)

Of course, they can install CLI at the folder level.

Should we include dotnet-tools.json file in the templates?

[maliming]

We can output a warning message for the abp bundle command and add a document to explain this.

Include dotnet-tools.json still requires the developer to do extra work, so I think we can tell the developer to install the CLI herself/himself.

[enisn]

Yes,dotnet tool restore must be executed manually, so it needs extra work. You're right, we can explain with warning message when version mismatch with project
