won't build

[kongomongo]

hi there, can you elaborate on the requirements?

I tried installing this on debian 12, using dotnet-sdk-9.0

using dotnet restore and dotnet run I get:

Using launch settings from /root/Real-Time-Stock-Tracker/Properties/launchSettings.json...
Building...
/root/Real-Time-Stock-Tracker/Services/StockService.cs(1,20): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Net' does not exist in the namespace 'AlphaVantage' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
/root/Real-Time-Stock-Tracker/Services/StockService.cs(31,48): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'StockTimeSeries' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
/root/Real-Time-Stock-Tracker/Services/StockService.cs(36,38): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'StockTimeSeries' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
/root/Real-Time-Stock-Tracker/Services/StockService.cs(9,26): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'StockClient' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

manually dotnet add package AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks reduces this to:

Using launch settings from /root/Real-Time-Stock-Tracker/Properties/launchSettings.json...
Building...
/root/Real-Time-Stock-Tracker/Services/StockService.cs(9,26): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'StockClient' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

The build failed. Fix the build errors and run again.

Are you using a specific version of AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out and providing the details. It looks like there are a few issues that need to be addressed to get the project running smoothly.

1. Version Compatibility: The project is using .NET 8.0, but you are trying to install it with .NET SDK 9.0. While .NET 9.0 should generally be backward compatible, it's a good idea to ensure you are using the same version as the project. You can install .NET 8.0 SDK by running:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-8.0

2. Assembly References: The errors you're encountering suggest that the necessary packages are not correctly referenced. You mentioned that adding AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks reduced the errors, but there are still issues with StockClient. Ensure you have the correct version of the package. You can specify the version in your csproj file or use the dotnet add package command with the version number:

dotnet add package AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks --version 

3. Using Directives: Make sure you have the correct using directives at the top of your StockService.cs file. For example:

using AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks;
using AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks.Client;
using AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks.Models;

Project Configuration: Ensure that your project file (Real-Time-Stock-Tracker.csproj) includes the necessary package references. It should look something like this:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks" Version="1.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

Rebuild the Project: After making these changes, try running the following commands to restore and build the project:

 `` dotnet restore
  dotnet build

``

If you continue to encounter issues, please provide the specific version of AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks you are using, and any additional error messages. This will help in diagnosing the problem more accurately.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

Thanks for the prompt reply. I'm sorry but your post has a couple strange things in them, that I can't follow.

First of all, dotnet add package AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks --version needs a package version, which version is the correct one?
NuGet only lists 2 versions, 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 https://www.nuget.org/packages/AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks/

using AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks;
using AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks.Client;
using AlphaVantage.Net.Stocks.Models;

this is not part of the source code so I am not sure if that is intended or not?

Anyways, aside from your suggestions I checked the repo https://github.com/kirlut/AlphaVantage.Net and it seems like this does not match the code you are using.

You are spawning the client via new StockClient(_apiKey); but the github says to use

using var client = new AlphaVantageClient(apiKey);
using var stocksClient = client.Stocks();

so I am not really sure how this repo can function without changes?

I want to clarify that the code you are working with is the very first version I published, which means it is still incomplete. As a result, there are several components and features that are currently missing.

I appreciate your understanding and will work to provide a more complete and functional version as soon as possible.

I get that and I have no problem helping, but it appears to me that the current code either
a) cannot compile
or
b) needs different prerequisites than I am using.

I created this #2
