I am porting a ASP.NET Core DNX command line tool from RC1 to RC2 with dotnet. It uses the full framework 4.5.1. I have stripped it down to a very simple project. My suspicion is that I am missing something basic, but I can't seem to find parallel examples. Apologies in advance if this is a simple fix.
Steps to reproduce
Here is my project.json file.
{
"version": "1.0.2-alpha001",
"description": "Tools.Cli Class Library",
"authors": [ "Test" ],
"buildOptions": {
"emitEntryPoint": true,
"outputName": "dotnet-hello"
},
"dependencies": {
"Microsoft.DotNet.Cli.Utils": "1.0.0-preview1-002702"
},
"frameworks": {
"net451": { }
}
}
Here is my program.cs file.
using System;
namespace Tools.Cli
{
public class Program
{
public static int Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("\x1B[31m" + "Hello World" + "\x1B[39m");
// The following line causes the error. Commenting out this line allows this to run.
Console.WriteLine(Microsoft.DotNet.Cli.Utils.AnsiColorExtensions.Red("Test"));
return 0;
}
}
}
I am creating a NuGet package and referencing that from another project as a tool.
Expected behavior
run dotnet hello
Prints Hello World in red and then Test in red.
This works perfectly without the line to print Test.
Actual behavior
The following exception is shown. Hello World is not printed.
dotnet hello
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.DotNet.Cli.Utils, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=adb9793829ddae60' or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the file specified.
at Tools.Cli.Program.Main(String[] args)
At this point I get an error dialog to prompt for debugging.
I have tried this with a number of other assemblies with the same results.
I posted this as an issue on dotnet/cli in GitHub, but haven't received a response. https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/3274
