Category: Tasks Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Tom Cabanski (tcabanski) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Solution task cannot build project with delay signed ref Initial Comment: I have a project that contains a number of assemblies that get strongly named (signed) for distribution. On development boxes we build using delayed signing and generally have strong name verification off for the various assemblies. When we test releases, we turn on strong name validation and sign the assemblies. After testing is complete, we switch back to verification off and delay signing. The latest versions of NAnt have a problem with partially signed assemblies. In the case where verification is on, we cannot build because the referenced dlls are partially signed; nant complains that it cannot load the dll during the build process because the dll is not strongly named. This leads to an interesting problem: the dlls have to exist before verification can be tuned off. In the situation where dll a references b dll which references c dll, we have to build and let it fail because of verification on a, turn verification off for a, build and let it fail because of b, turn off verification on b and so on. This does not occur in VS.NET. The problem is caused by NAnt.VSNet.GetAllReferencedModules where the following line of code appears: _refResolver.AppendReferencedModulesLocatedInGivenDir ectory(moduleDirectory, referenceToResolve, ref allReferences, ref unresolvedReferences); This method uses Assembly.LoadFromFile to load a dll and find out what it references. Of course, if the loaded dll is partially signed and verification is on, this fails. Why is this method required? We comment it out and our solution still works. I would guess this is needed when building without a solution in case you forgot to specify the refrences. The problem is it completely screws things up when using partially signed assemblies. The bottom line is this: If NAnt needs to read the assembly to figure out the references, it needs to somehow skip verification on the assembly. At the very least, it needs to open the assembly and look for references only if not using the solution task. I'm not really sure how to fix this myself and that is why I am submitting a bug. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=402868&aid=999629&group_id=31650 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
