Unhandled exception is thrown when using in a Github pipeline

[cdavernas]

Describe the bug
Unhandled exception is thrown when running a Github pipeline with Versioning.NET

Unhandled exception. System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception.
 ---> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'git2-106a5f2' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the LD_DEBUG environment variable: libgit2-106a5f2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Got to Github
2. Create a new pipeline
3. Try running Versioning.NET on your project, as described in the wiki

Expected behavior
Everything should work correctly, and new version is computed as expected

Hi @cdavernas, thanks for submitting this issue. Unfortunately, I don't have time to work on this until next week, but I believe that you can change your agent specification from ubuntu-latest to a lower version of ubuntu or use windows-latest as a temporary work around. Let me know if this helps or if changing the agent specification is not possible for you.

@cbcrouse Thanks for the quick answer and heads off! I'm gonna try out your suggestions tomorrow and will let you know how that worked out!

@cbcrouse The exception indeed disappears when using windows-latest! Sorry for not coming back to you earlier, it was a crazy month. Cheers!

Hey @cdavernas, it turns out that LibGit2Sharp outputs a runtimes folder where the supported native binaries are copied. When considering an agent runtime, it'll have to come from this list:

There's nothing I can do in this project to make-up for this, so I'm closing this issue.
