Hi there @ednsinf!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂

Hello @ednsinf,
Your error log says that the MSBuild task "GetUmbracoBuildVersion" is failing. This issue arises from tools installed through Nuget. Please ensure you are on the latest .NET 9 Release Candidate as the main branch requires that. Please also ensure that you have restored all nuget packages after installing that. Let me know if that works for you!

@iOvergaard could also be that @ednsinf just downloaded the source and not cloned it.
In that case you don't have a git repo and the git version tasks will fail.
See https://dev.to/dawoe/debugging-the-umbraco-source-code-for-specific-version-5ahk

[iOvergaard]

Oh, good point, @dawoe. That is perhaps something worth looking into to get the source to work without a git repository.

@ednsinf, when you get time, please report back if you are using the Git version or direct source code of Umbraco.

Hi @ednsinf! Please note: you typically won't need to build Umbraco from the source code unless your goal is to contribute to its development. Umbraco is designed to be highly extensible and flexible, allowing you to build and customize it to your specific needs without accessing the core source code. Instead, we recommend installing Umbraco as described in the documentation, and then extending it through available tools and frameworks to suit your requirements.

However, if you're interested in contributing to Umbraco, we'd love to hear more! Let us know what you're trying to do, and we’ll be happy to help you get started.
