[nant-dev] Bug in NAnt Visual Studio .NET Solution builder

[Stephen Dunn]

I’m using the       <solution solutionfile="D:\blah.sln" configuration="Debug" /> tag to build a solution. I’ve found the following: The solution contains two projects, Project A and Project B Project A in has a reference to a com DLL.  This DLL is produced as output from Project B.  The project’s build order build Project B first so that the file referenced by Project A will exist.  This works fine when building from Visual Studio .NET(2003). The problem occurs when using NAntContrib.  When loading the solution, dependencies are being resolved at load time, and hence failing on the missing DLL that is referenced by Project A.  Here’s the call stack: [solution] Starting solution build.   BUILD FAILED   INTERNAL ERROR   System.Exception: Couldn't find referenced type library 'd:\projects\libraries\picrypt\debug\PICrypt.dll'.    at NAnt.VSNet.Reference.HandleWrapperImport(XmlElement elemReference)    at NAnt.VSNet.Reference..ctor(Solution solution, ProjectSettings ps, XmlElement elemReference, SolutionTask solutionTask, String outputDir)    at NAnt.VSNet.Project.Load(Solution sln, String projectPath)    at NAnt.VSNet.ProjectFactory.LoadProject(Solution sln, SolutionTask slnTask, TempFileCollection tfc, String outputDir, String path)    at NAnt.VSNet.Solution.LoadProjects()    at NAnt.VSNet.Solution..ctor(String solutionFileName, ArrayList additionalProjects, ArrayList referenceProjects, TempFileCollection tfc, SolutionTa sk solutionTask, WebMapCollection webMappings, FileSet excludesProjects, String outputDir)    at NAnt.VSNet.Tasks.SolutionTask.ExecuteTask()    at NAnt.Core.Task.Execute()    at NAnt.Core.Target.Execute()    at NAnt.Core.Project.Execute(String targetName, Boolean forceDependencies)    at NAnt.Core.Project.Execute()    at NAnt.Core.Project.Run()   Please send bug report to [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Total time: 74.6 seconds.   Please let me know if you require more information.   Many thanks,   Steve Dunn This email and any attachments are confidential.
