Support - Can't upgrade past 2.0.1 because of build errors

[SquaredSee]

Hello,

I am running Umbraco 9, I know that plumber still only officially supports Umbraco 8, but if you have any insights they would be appreciated.

I am having the same problem as the user in issue #108, where you responded that it is fixed in 2.0.2. I am attempting to update to 2.0.2 (I have also tried 2.1.0), however I am getting the following build errors:
D:\Users\ccrouch\.nuget\packages\plumber.backoffice\2.0.2\buildTransitive\Plumber.Backoffice.targets(77,5): error MSB4801: The task factory "CodeTaskFactory" is not supported on the .NET Core version of MSBuild. [D:\Users\ccrouch\Documents\code\GPSCommsPortal\GPSCommsPortal.csproj]D:\Users\ccrouch\.nuget\packages\plumber.backoffice\2.0.2\buildTransitive\Plumber.Backoffice.targets(77,5): error MSB4175: The task factory "CodeTaskFactory" could not be loaded from the assembly "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.404\Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core.dll". The task factory must return a value for the "TaskType" property. [D:\Users\ccrouch\Documents\code\GPSCommsPortal\GPSCommsPortal.csproj]

I've gathered that this probably has to do with me running Umbraco 9. Is there anything that can be done about this, or are we out of luck? Thanks!

Hey @SquaredSee, Plumber2 will absolutely run on Umbraco9, it's all fully cross-platform, multi-targeted NetCore friendly.

Issue looks like this one - dotnet/msbuild#616 - so I think I'll need to update the targets plus add backwards compat for older msbuild (ie CodeTaskFactory rather than RoslynCodeTaskFactory).

This will be fixed in 2.1.1, there's an RC building now, will be on Nuget shortly if you're able to test and confirm the fix. Looks to be fine, I installed it into a v9 site, ran dotnet build and worked fine.

That worked, thanks for the help!

Happy days! I'll fire off a proper release today sometime
