Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am trying to make try-convert.exe and/or upgrade-assistant support project.json projects but, the actual conversion tool, named dotnet-migrate is deprecated and only available up to dotnet 2.x ; see https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-migrate
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. Include any alternative solutions you've considered.
- Bring back
dotnet-migratecommand to help migrate project.json projects to SDK-style format. - Call
dotnet-migratefrom try-convert/upgrade-assistant to migrate legacy project.json projects
Alternate solutions
- Enable
try-convert.exeto support using NuGet project.json parsing APIs - Write custom
try-convert.exeproject.json parsing APIs.
Additional context
There's a shipped public API in VS to migrate project.json projects to PackageReference in Visual Studio. See https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client/blob/bc11fd124fd87b55532742db2a56f4a324288bcb/src/NuGet.Clients/NuGet.VisualStudio.Implementation/Extensibility/VsProjectJsonToPackageReferenceMigrator.cs#L35
The idea of this issue is to create a CLI experience similar to the VS migration experience.
