3 weeks ago @andrerav what are the chances this can get merged any time soon and released as pre release?
Our org relies on this package and this is a blocker for us.
We can run off of our fork if it's going to be awhile.
Thanks!
Mapster.Tool update to solve issue #714
TL; DR
Replace Assembly.LoadFrom calls with something more robust that prevents assembly/type collisions between the assemblies in the running Mapster.Tool process (such as .NET framework assemblies) and the scanned assemblies - while also preserving the ability to scan for attributes that are in the Mapster assembly (using share Assembly resolution).
See Pertinent MSFT Docs
More detail
Added an AssemblyLoadContext implementation for dynamically loading assemblies when scanning in an isolated way so that they don't have collisions with all of the assemblies loaded by Mapster by default (for example framework assemblies such as System.Text.Json).
The implementation also allows the setting of a subset of assembly names that will be shared with AssemblyLoadContext.Default (the default context that all assemblies are resolved from if no custom ALC were created). Some scanned types need to be owned by the default assembly context such as those from the "Mapster" assembly.
The end result is that we can resolve types from the target assembly being scanned, and we can do things like .GetCustomAttribute() and the attribute will be found because it comes from a shared assembly across the default (runtime) AssemblyLoadContext and the custom one used to avoid collisions.
