Question

Hi Team, I have made code changes and everything is working as expected in locally but when i try to run same code in Azure DevOps pipeline getting build error.

Here is the following error I got. Please help is something need to update in Azure DevOps

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService.nuget\packages\microsoft.extensions.apidescription.server\6.0.5\build\Microsoft.Extensions.ApiDescription.Server.targets(5,38): error MSB4186: Invalid static method invocation syntax: "[MSBuild]::VersionLessThanOrEquals('$(TargetFrameworkVersion)', '2.0')". Method '[MSBuild]::VersionLessThanOrEquals' not found. Static method invocation should be of the form: $([FullTypeName]::Method()), e.g. $([System.IO.Path]::Combine(a, b)). Check that all parameters are defined, are of the correct type, and are specified in the right order.

Our process was using Nuget.exe latest version. We had to move back to previous version to get this resolved.
