Cake Core 0.27 introduced a bug with Cake.Powershell

[eddie3716]

FYI, how your add-in resolves its dependencies is broken with new version Cake core 0.27. When I switch back to 0.26.1, I no longer receive this error

Thanks for reporting this.

@patriksvensson any idea whats causing this as the dependencies haven't changed?

[patriksvensson]

@SharpeRAD No idea. Probably a question for @mholo65

[patriksvensson]

Perhaps @daveaglick knows something as well.

[bjorkstromm]

Oh, seems like infinite recursion was introduced when switching to NuGet 4.6.0 libs... Need to look into this.

[daveaglick]

That’s very strange - the “Resolving assembly” bit is from the new handler I added, but I’ve never seen that event recurse like this. It’s only called when default resolution fails, so it’s a last-ditch effort (shouldn’t be making anything worse).

What’s interesting is that we should see a message about resolution failing or succeeding right afterwards...oh, I think I see the problem. The handler calls Assembly.Load() - which if the assembly truly isn’t available could trigger...the handler.

I’ll submit a fix today. Solution is probably to cache the failed resolution names and skip our last-ditch resolution if we’ve seen it before.

@eddie3716 @SharpeRAD we have just released 0.27.1 of Cake which we believe will correct that issue that you are seeing here. Can you please take it for a spin, and let us know if you continue to have problems?

[SharpeRAD]

Should be resolved with Cake v0.27.1, please re-open this issue if you are still experiencing problems.

I think it may be related to the .net core problem (at least it looks similar) - https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/14033 The solution was adding this to the .csproj:

<RuntimeFrameworkVersion>2.0.5</RuntimeFrameworkVersion>

[mdenny-visaglobal]

I'm seeing the same issue and am running in v0.27.1

[Johnwrnd]

How do you switch back to 0.26.1?

[eddie3716]

@Johnwrnd i keep cake's package.config in my source control.

`<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

`

[Johnwrnd]

Thanks for the reply! i just had the same idea and already fixed my issue that way.

[eddie3716]

This was fixed a while back
