[Paket] This type has been forwarded to assembly

[aggieben]

I'm facing an issue similar to what's described in #1390 . I have a benchmark projects that builds for net47 and netcoreapp2.1 and have been having various problems with the generated benchmark programs not being able to load referenced assemblies properly. This is an F♯ program, using paket to reference the necessary nupkgs.

I'm running this on macOS with .NET Core SDK 3.1.

The projects containing the code being benchmarked all target netstardard2.0. At benchmark time, the output looks like this:

// Build Error: The build has failed!

The paket.references file:

The latest full code is here, if you're interested: https://github.com/aggieben/FSharp.Data.GraphQL/tree/netcore-update/tests/FSharp.Data.GraphQL.Benchmarks

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hi @aggieben

I've forked your code, but I got stuck with the following error:

PS C:\Projects\FSharp.Data.GraphQL\tests\FSharp.Data.GraphQL.Benchmarks> dotnet restore
  Paket version 5.242.2
  Performance:

  Paket failed with

Any ideas how to fix it?

[aggieben]

@adamsitnik thanks for looking. My fault, I goofed and left that out of the paket.dependencies file:
update it to look like this.

Also, my apologies for not specifying, but the way this would be restored via paket is with the local tool I have installed, so:
dotnet tool restore
dotnet paket install
dotnet restore

You may already know all that but no harm in being over-explicit :-)

@aggieben I've sent a fix to your fork: aggieben/FSharp.Data.GraphQL#1

[adamsitnik]

There is nothing actionable on BDN side, fsprojects/Paket#3810 needs to be fixed.
