[nant-dev] Bug with Solution Task

[Blair Wall]

I think I’ve found a bug with the solution task. I’m not sure this is the proper forum, but here goes anyway.     It appears references to managed c++ libraries are removed for solution tasks that have the outputdir parameter set.       Here is the setup: Create a VS.Net solution with two projects Managed C++ Library project A C#/VB console project Create a dummy class in the C++ project that contains a public method In the console project add a reference to the C++ project In the console project create an install to the dummy class and call the method. This should all build from VS.NET IDE   To get the error: Create a Nant build file with a solution task that builds the above VS.Net solution Set the outputdir parameter to a new location Run the nant build in verbose mode You’ll notice that the /r csc parameter is missing for the c++ library     I believe I’ve tracked down the cause. When the c++ project is built, the output is sent to the designated outputdir.  Then when the console project is built it tries to resolve the path to the c++ library in its original location instead of the outputdir location.   I’ve made the following change to the ProjectReferenceBase.cs GetAssemblyReferences method. Notice that the projectOutputFile variable has been updated to point to the OutputDir.           public override StringCollection GetAssemblyReferences(string solutionConfiguration) {             StringCollection assemblyReferences = null;               // check if parent is a VB.NET project             if (typeof(VBProject).IsAssignableFrom(Parent.GetType())) {                 assemblyReferences = Project.GetAssemblyReferences(solutionConfiguration);             } else {                 assemblyReferences = new StringCollection();             }                 ConfigurationBase projectConfig = (ConfigurationBase) Project.GetConfiguration(solutionConfiguration);                 string outFile =  projectConfig.BuildPath;                 string projectOutputFile = FileUtils.CombinePaths(projectConfig.OutputDir.FullName,                    Path.GetFileName(outFile));                 // check if project has output file             if (projectOutputFile != null) {                 if (File.Exists(projectOutputFile)) {                     // add primary output to list of reference assemblies                     assemblyReferences.Add(projectOutputFile);                 }             }               // return assembly references             return assemblyReferences;         }         Thanks,   Blair Wall [EMAIL PROTECTED]
