I have a microservices based application with one solution but it has several projects - 5 exactly.
I have some test that I’d like to build in Travis CI, however I’m getting The command "dotnet restore" failed and exited with 1 during
This is my very first time working with Travis.

My .travis.yml file:

  -sudo apt-get install nuget
install:
  -dotnet restore
branches:

hi bencematyasi,

I stumbled on your question, and I think I’m able to help. The error message from the dotnet restore is the line More than one project or solution file. from the log you provided.

You should be able to reproduce this on your local environment by calling dotnet restore from the repo root. The solution is to either explicitly specify the sln/proj file in the dotnet restore call of your .travis.yml (dotnet restore <path-to-sln/proj>) or change the structure of the repo (dotnet restore won’t fail, at least with this error in a folder that only contains exactly one sln/proj file).
