Does AppHarbor support ASP.Net 5 / vNext ?

When I tried to deploy my sample application (From the Visual Studio 2015 RC templates) I got the following build log in AppHarbor:

Build started 5/4/2015 2:28:38 PM.
     1>Project "D:\temp\g3zdb4oh.rcv\input\ASPNetTest.sln" on node 1 (default targets).

The code that I tried to deploy was this: https://github.com/yngndrw/ASPNetTest

I'm not sure if I missed something or if AppHarbor doesn't support this yet ?

Thanks,

   I'm hoping AH will include support for 4+ and 5+ as 4+ is the last version to include webforms (a buildout that uses legacy webforms)

   Would be good to get support fro AH on this, Lots of developers need time to port over to MVC if at all.

   Hi,

   ASP.NET 5 / vNext and .NET 4.6 is not officially supported yet as they are still at the RC state - official support will be rolled out and deployed across all servers when they reach RTM. Note however that for vNext / ASP.NET 5 application you may still be able to run those applications on AppHarbor, but for now you'd have to work around the missing build targets projects, as those are not currently available on AppHarbor's build servers.

   AppHarbor will continue to support earlier versions of the .NET Framework including 4+, and there are no plans to discontinue support for applications requiring those frameworks when vNext and .NET 4.6 is officially supported.

   We may also introduce beta support or guidelines for deploying apps using the newer frameworks prior to the official RCs. I'll make sure to update this thread if/when we do this.

   Best,
   Rune

   Thank you very much for the response Rune, that's most helpful. I look forward to seeing how the ASP.Net 5 development unfolds and the opportunities it unlocks. I'm also hoping to see a new set of Mono-based hosting packages available with lower pricing, but we'll have to wait to see how that all unfolds.

   @OliPicard: In my opinion, even if hypothetically speaking official support for webforms was to be dropped, there are so many people who still depend on it that somebody would write some from of adapter to run legacy webforms web applications on ASP.Net 5. I don't think there's anything to worry about for a while yet.

   Any update on support for .NET 4.6 and C#6?

   Hi,

   The build and application servers were upgraded last week to support .NET 4.6, Roslyn, Typescript 1.5 and more, so you should be able to run apps targeting/using these already.

   We're making a few changes to the build process to better support ASP.NET 5/vNext apps and plan to roll the updated setup out over the next week, but if you just need .NET 4.6 features you can start using that already. Let me know if you hit any snags!

   Best,
   Rune

   So, are you going to oficially support dnx/xproj deployment? If yes, when we can expect it?

   Hi,

   Sorry about the slow response here. The plan is to officially support ASP.NET 5/dnx/vNext apps when they graduate from beta. We may still add experimental support prior to that, but I can't give you a firm timeline for this - vNext is still under heavy development and it's a bit of a moving target for the same reason. Few people use it for stable production apps (which remain our focus), but it'd be great to test and play around with prior to RTM. I'll make sure to ping you guys as soon as we start testing this in public/private beta.

   Best,
   Rune
