>Category: Tasks >Group: 0.85 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: qswinson (qswinson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Solution task copies more than just referenced libraries Initial Comment: The solution task copies all libraries and related files located in the referenced directory, not just the library that is referenced. This is very time consuming when all build assemblies are stored in a single directory and referenced from that directory in the project files. For example, if the directory c:\test\bin contains test1.dll, test2.dll, test2.pdb, and test3.dll and project c:\test\test4\test4.csproj only has one reference: <Reference Name = "test1" AssemblyName = "test1" HintPath = "..\bin\test1.dll" /> When this project is built with a solution task, test2.dll, test2.pdb and test3.dll will also be copied into the build directory even though they are not referenced. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Gert Driesen (drieseng) Date: 2004-02-22 11:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=707851 I'll close this report, unless you have something to add to it or can provide us a repro ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nicklas Norling (exinor) Date: 2004-01-22 20:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=949257 Ok great then I agree with you :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: qswinson (qswinson) Date: 2004-01-22 20:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=789833 I agree that it is important to mimic VS for this task. VS 2003 copies the referenced assembly and indirectly referenced assemblies to the build directory. It does not copy the entire contents of the directory of the referenced assembly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nicklas Norling (exinor) Date: 2004-01-22 18:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=949257 The solution task is supposedly a Nant version of VS running build on a VS solution file. It would be a bad thing if this task would do things different from VS in my oppinion. I believe that the "extra" dll's are dependant dll's dependents. If you want to e.g. run unti tests in the bin/debug folder you need not only the output file it self, but everything it is in anyway dependant on. Even the most remotly dependant dll as far as I understand. So unless I've missunderstod .NET dependecies and dll's this should most definately stay as it is or loads of things might be broken. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=402868&aid=875674&group_id=31650 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
