ILMergeAllowDuplicateType doesn't seem to be working #29

Closed mnwachukwu closed 5 years ago

mnwachukwu commented 5 years ago

I am using the ILMerge.props file to try and allow duplicate types in my merged assembly. I have set this value in the file to true like so

<ILMergeAllowDuplicateType>true</ILMergeAllowDuplicateType>

But that didn't do anything. I've also added an ILMergeConfig,json file and set the AllowDuplicateType property in the Advanced object to true like so

"AllowDuplicateType": true

Yet I'm still seeing this issue:

ILMerge.Merge: ERROR!!: Duplicate type 'Newtonsoft.Json.ConstructorHandling' found in assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json'. Do you want to use the /alllowDup option?

Am I missing something?

Turns out I needed to specify a value of * rather than true... This was not made clear in any documentation. I had to search the repository code files to find out, so I'm answering this here so anyone else who is wondering will know.

I am not aware of any other documentation that may have specified this. I searched for days before I thought to do a code search.

Here it is in it's full context: <ILMergeAllowDuplicateType>*</ILMergeAllowDuplicateType>
