Mapster Tool Mapper crashes when using MediatR (and possibly other assemblies)

[Christoph-Wolf-Coduct]

PS C:\Users\Chris\source\repos\JobScrape.Backend> dotnet mapster mapper -a JobScrape.Backend\obj\Debug\net6.0\JobScrape.Backend.dll

Produces this Exception:

Unhandled exception. System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types.

My Normal Setup looks like this:

<Target Name="Mapster" AfterTargets="AfterBuild">
    <Exec WorkingDirectory="$(ProjectDir)" Command="dotnet tool restore" />
    <Exec WorkingDirectory="$(ProjectDir)" Command="dotnet mapster model -a &quot;$(TargetDir)$(ProjectName).dll&quot; -o DTOs -n JobScrape.Backend.DTOs" />
    <Exec WorkingDirectory="$(ProjectDir)" Command="dotnet mapster extension -a &quot;$(TargetDir)$(ProjectName).dll&quot; -o Extensions -n JobScrape.Backend.Extensions" />
    <Exec WorkingDirectory="$(ProjectDir)" Command="dotnet mapster mapper -a &quot;$(TargetDir)$(ProjectName).dll&quot; -o Mappers -n JobScrape.Backend.Mappers" />
</Target>

DTOs and Extension Methods get generated on build, Mappers don't

Packages include

<PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Mapster" Version="7.3.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="MediatR.Extensions.Microsoft.DependencyInjection" Version="11.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Swashbuckle.AspNetCore" Version="6.2.3" />
</ItemGroup>

@Christoph-Wolf-Coduct Can you post some examples of the interfaces you are trying to generate mappers for?

[andrerav]

Closing this as I assume the interface was referencing MediatoR in some way, causing Mapster attempting to load MediatoR assemblies. Let me know if this was not the case.
