Client Assembly Reference Issue #33

Closed bramdejager closed 6 years ago

bramdejager commented 6 years ago

When using SPCB on a SP 2013 Server it always pulls the client assemblies off the GAC and I do not see any way to change this (e.g. by setting a property in the .config file).

My issue is that I just want to unzip the SPCB package to test new things, like the SPWeb.AlternateCSS property. To access this property I need a certain build of the client components and I expected that SPCB is using those provided in its own directory not requiring me to update the server first.

Currently I have to fire up another VM with Windows client, without SP server, to run SPCB with the latest client components and test my stuff. That's a real PITA just for running some test against the REST api with the SP2013 client components.

Would be great if I could either put a checkbox to always use the local client components (those in the same directory as SPCB.exe) or the globally deployed assemblies in the GAC.

Thanks for listening!

Cheers,

Sig

[BdeJager@18-1-2017] Hi Sigfried,

thanks for your feedback. I know this is an issue and have seen it before. Have not really got the time to work on this. I'll try to find some time to see if I can force the loading of the assemblies.

If you have any hints/ideas?! They are welcome!

Regards Bram
