paket.references gets overwritten by paket install

[ForNeVeR]

I've created new console project with Visual Studio (and closed it, so no any interference between VS and Paket), let's call it ConsoleApplication8, and done the following:

.\.paket\paket.exe init
.\.paket\paket.exe add nuget Tesla.Csxcad version 0.0.1-alpha3

Then written the following to ConsoleApplication8\paket.references:

Tesla.Csxcad

After that I've ran .paket\paket install. It overwritten my paket.references with the following:

FSharp.Data

I've set up the test repository here. That is the state I got after paket install.

Is it a bug or not? Is it okay that it removes my Tesla.Csxcad from paket.references?

something is fucky here. I'll investigate

[ForNeVeR]

Some additional details: that Tesla.Csxcad is written and published by me, so it could have any number of NuGet-related problems (because I'm a total NuGet noob). And it really have this FSharp.Data dependency.

;-) you have a packages.references in the content folder of you package. This file gets extracted and overwrites the existing file.

[ForNeVeR]

Ah. Thanks for pointing that! Definitely my fault and not a Paket issue.

[forki]

I think I will add a error message here to make that more bovious.

[ForNeVeR]

Well, that would be really nice.

[forki]

we now skip this file and show a warning.

/cc @theimowski please verify that I didn't break your scenario

[ForNeVeR]

Thank you!

No it shouldn't - I zip only paket.dependencies and paket.lock. Think I used 2.40.4 today and it was fine

[forki]

thanks buddy
