Can't build from source

I have cloned a fresh new repo, and checked out dev-v7.

When I try to run build/build.ps1 I get the following error:

ls : Cannot find path 'C:\workspaces\umbraco-cms.skttl\umbraco-cms\build.tmp\WebApp\config\' because it does not exist.

Anyone have any idea what is wrong?

You probably have a problem earlier in the build process, the config files should have been copied to that location already and that failed.

Maybe have a look in the log files in the build.tmp folder to see what else might be going on?

FYI: I just ran build.ps1 and it seems to work for me!

Thanks, msbuild fails on this:

those lines are

    get
    {
        if (LastLoginDate == default && IsApproved == false && InvitedDate != null)
            return UserState.Invited;

        if (IsLockedOut)
            return UserState.LockedOut;
        if (IsApproved == false)
            return UserState.Disabled;

        // User is not disabled or locked and has never logged in before
        if (LastLoginDate == default && IsApproved && IsLockedOut == false)
            return UserState.Inactive;

            return UserState.Active;
    }
}

Weird, that's just valid code.. your compilers seems very confused, I guess it works when you build from Visual Studio?

Maybe vswhere is detecting a weird version of visual studio (older than 2017)?

No, actually VS (2017 15.1, release 26403.7) doesn't build either.

vswhere gives this

I believe you would need 15.3 at the very least (not entirely sure, could have been 15.4 as well), so that would be the problem here!

Lovely! I'll add it to docs. I assume you went straight to 15.8?
