VS ModelEditor: Xpand.XAF.Modules.Reactive.Extensions.CommonExtensions.ToUnit not found in 19.1.503.3

[krombipils]

The VS ModelEditor does not work (again) after I updated to 19.1.503.3.

Exception occurs while initializing the 'Xpand.XAF.Modules.CloneMemberValue.CloneMemberValueModule' module: Methode nicht gefunden: "System.IObservable`1<System.Reactive.Unit> Xpand.XAF.Modules.Reactive.Extensions.CommonExtensions.ToUnit(System.IObservable`1<!!0>)

VS also added a Binding Redirect for Xpand.XAF.Modules.Reactive to fix issues between 1.2.46.4 and 1.2.46.1

I upgraded from 19.1.503.1. Could you please try to repro it with the modified XVideoRental project. I replaced some dll references with PackageReference to eXpand 19.1.503.3. When I try to open Model.DesignedDiffs.xafml of Module.Win, I get the MissingMethodException XVideoRental.zip

I reproduced the issue and update the CI process with guard code to avoid it the same mistake in the future.

in addition I worked on the ModelMapper dependency issue. The problem actually is that VS gets confused on the location of the assemblies when design time as reflection is used to load them and not direct references. For this reason from next minor the Xpand.VSIX installation will be mandatory, the module will check and throw if not. The plugin will detect if ModelMapper is installed and will copy all files to a special directory which VS probes for assemblies.

Please update the related Nuget packages and test if issues is addressed. These are nightly nuget packages available only from our NugetServer.

If you do not use the Xpand.XAF.Modules directly but through a module of the main eXpandFramework project, please wait for the bot to notify you again when integration is finished or update the related packages manually.

Thanks a lot for your contribution.
