ExpressiveAnnotations core assembly not added project files

[jschroed]

I started having an issue adding ExpressiveAnnotations core assembly to my projects. It looks like the problem started in version 2.44.5. (Version 2.44.4 works fine.)

I have "nuget ExpressiveAnnotations.dll = 2.3.6" in my paket.dependencies file and "ExpressiveAnnotations.dll" in my paket.references. My paket.dependencies has this at the top:

content: none
import_targets: false
framework: net45
redirects: off

When I run paket update or install with version 2.44.4 of paket, ExpressiveAnnotations is added to my csproj like this:

  <Choose>
    <When Condition="$(TargetFrameworkIdentifier) == '.NETFramework' And $(TargetFrameworkVersion) == 'v4.5'">
      <ItemGroup>
        <Reference Include="ExpressiveAnnotations">
          <HintPath>..\packages\ExpressiveAnnotations.dll\lib\net45\ExpressiveAnnotations.dll</HintPath>
          <Private>True</Private>
          <Paket>True</Paket>
        </Reference>
      </ItemGroup>
    </When>
  </Choose>

Version 2.44.5 and higher do not add "ExpressiveAnnotations" to my csproj file. (Note: I haven't tried all versions and I haven't tried any of the 3.0.0 versions.) Is there something I need to change in my configuration or is this an issue with paket?

The issue is a bit tricky. First of all: there is no ExpressiveAnnotations.dll = 2.3.6 - see https://www.nuget.org/packages/ExpressiveAnnotations

But I assum somehow you have that version in your local nuget cache. In Paket 2.44.4 we noticed a bug changed our cache format so that 2.44.5 and above will not read older cache files and try to get everything from scratch. And since the package version is deleted (@maartenba ist that correct?) paket restore fails.

I don't see a 2.3.6. It wasn't deleted, it wasn't uploaded.

Thx Maarten.

So where was it coming from?

I tried this, and it seems that the refactorings from d267615 broke some string stuff. The .dll in the package name breaks the install, because the new String.endsWithIgnoreCase function is faulty.

From fsi:

let endsWithIgnoreCase (target : string) (text : string) =
  text.IndexOf (target, System.StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) >= text.Length - target.Length

> endsWithIgnoreCase ".dll" "packages/ExpressiveAnnotations.dll/lib/net45/ExpressiveAnnotations.dll";;
val it : bool = false
> endsWithIgnoreCase ".dll" "packages/ExpressiveAnnotations.dll/lib/net45/ExpressiveAnnotations.xml";;
val it : bool = false
> endsWithIgnoreCase ".dll" "packages/ExpressiveAnnotations/lib/net45/ExpressiveAnnotations.xml";;
val it : bool = false
> endsWithIgnoreCase ".dll" "packages/ExpressiveAnnotations/lib/net45/ExpressiveAnnotations.dll";;
val it : bool = true

So there are two packages? One with .dll at the end?

[inosik]

Yes, the one with .dll in its id seems to be a kind of "Core" package.

[inosik]

LastIndexOf instead of IndexOf in this line should do the trick.

[forki]

yes. already deploying fix. thanks everybody.

Thanks forki (and everyone else)! The issue is resolved for me with version 2.49.8.
