Trying to build the Umbraco Source keep getting the following error.
Compile-Umbraco : Build environment does not provide VisualStudio.
Anyone with any ideas?
Then if I build the project it throws
"An error occurred while trying to restore packages: Nuspec file does not exist in package" - assume this is because the build fail to copy the files to the right locations.
Can't build Umbraco Source - dev-v7 branch

hi John,
Are you trying to make changes to the source code ? Then it's better to build from visual studio.
This is only needed if you need a zip file with installer from the latest source code.

Hi Dave,
Yes I'm trying to create a pull request for an issue.
I'm following the instructions here:
https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/dev-v7/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md
I never tried that approach. I always work from within visual studio
https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/blob/dev-v7/docs/CONTRIBUTING_DETAILED.md#working-with-the-source-code
Where did all of this documentation go? These link to dead links
Are you running the build.bat (this is when the error occurs) inside Visual Studio?
Nope just vs build.
But the build.bat runs fine for me. Maybe it has an issue finding your visual studio to do the build.
It needs at least vs2017
Dave
I'm using 2015 :(
You can download the vs2017 community edition. It's free and can be used for open source development
