asp.net 5 using DNX

Question

I am running into an issue trying to include the following in the project.json:

"Microsoft.AspNet.Security.Cookies": "1.0.0-beta3",

It gives me the following error:

The dependency Microsoft.AspNet.Securitu.Cookies 1.0.0-beta3 in project TestApp does not support framework DNX, Version=v4.5.1

as well as:

The dependency Microsoft.AspNet.Securitu.Cookies 1.0.0-beta3 in project TestApp does not support framework DNXCore, Version=v5.0

These are my framworks specified:

  "frameworks": {
    "dnx451": { },
    "dnxcore50": { }
  },

And here is my complete list of dependencies:

  "dependencies": {
    "EntityFramework.Commands": "7.0.0-rc1-final",
    "EntityFramework.MicrosoftSqlServer": "7.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Diagnostics": "1.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Diagnostics.Entity": "7.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework": "3.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.IISPlatformHandler": "1.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": "6.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Security.Cookies": "1.0.0-beta2",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel": "1.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener": "1.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.StaticFiles": "1.0.0-rc1-final",
    "Microsoft.Framework.CodeGenerators.Mvc": "1.0.0-beta5",
    "Microsoft.Framework.ConfigurationModel.Json": "1.0.0-beta4",
    "Microsoft.Framework.Logging": "1.0.0-beta7",
    "Microsoft.Framework.Logging.Console": "1.0.0-beta8",
    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink.Loader": "14.0.0-rc1-final"
  },

So the question is, if it is not supported "cookies" what can i use instead?, i have tried to look around but have not had any luck.

I want to add security to a small app i am building, any better suggestions would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

There are a few things incorrect about what you're doing:

1. You are mixing beta2, beta4, beta5, beta8, and rc1 packages. Since there's a lot of churn between releases, that's a recipe for disaster. Try to stick to a single release (rc1 is the latest stable).
2. Microsoft.AspNet.Security.* has been renamed. If you have other packages for which you cannot find the rc1 version, search the Announcements repo to see if they got renamed.
