Issue compiling template running on macOS Catalina 10.15.5

[bgoggan]

I have ExtentReports.Core v1.0.2 implemented on a .Net core test suite (core v3.0) and when I execute the tests on a mac with the above mentioned OS I receive the following error when trying to generate the test report results. Is there support for using Extent Reports on macOS/Linux? I understand the overall issue is with the RazorEngine template but since that is a dependency of the extent report library I'm posting the issue/question here. I've read about having to either fork the RazorEngine project and make a change to the code or use RazorLight. Thanks

Error Message: TearDown : RazorEngine.Templating.TemplateCompilationException : Errors while compiling a Template. Please try the following to solve the situation:

• If the problem is about missing/invalid references or multiple defines either try to load the missing references manually (in the compiling appdomain!) or Specify your references manually by providing your own IReferenceResolver implementation. See https://antaris.github.io/RazorEngine/ReferenceResolver.html for details. Currently all references have to be available as files!

• If you get 'class' does not contain a definition for 'member': try another modelType (for example 'null' to make the model dynamic). NOTE: You CANNOT use typeof(dynamic) to make the model dynamic! Or try to use static instead of anonymous/dynamic types. More details about the error:

@bgoggan I will look into this and update you. By the way, the package you are using has been created by the SimplyTest team. Packages I create are available here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/ExtentReports/4.1.0-beta1

@anshooarora thank you for your time with it. If I need to re-direct elsewhere I don't mind doing that.

I ran it on Catalina and the package I mentioned works without any issues. I did however face an issue while installing this package, for which I had to install Newtonsoft.Json first, followed by ExtentReports 4.1.0-beta1. I will fix this issue and try to push the release version by tomorrow.

@anshooarora sounds good. One additional question. Does the package you mentioned support .net Core 3.0? I believe that's why I originally switched to the package I'm using now because previous versions didn't.

[anshooarora]

@bgoggan Please use this: https://www.nuget.org/packages/ExtentReports/4.1.0. This package is built as a .NET Standard 2.0 library. The previous versions were targeting .NET Framework which is why but all development starting release 4.1.0 will target .NET Core/Standard.

@anshooarora Thabk you. I will update my version in the morning and let you know. Much appreciated

@anshooarora So, I updated my package this morning to the one mentioned and prior to testing the creation on my mac machine I ran a test on windows as a regression. Previously I was creating the report with a specific name, using the "Nam" attribute from the test context. For whatever reason now the test report just ends up being named, "index.html". My code is below. Is there something different in the CreateTest method is this package than what I may have been doing before? I validated the TestContext Name value is present. ` currentDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(); ParentDir = Directory.GetParent(currentDir).Parent.FullName; Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.Combine(ParentDir, "AutoResults")); FileName = Hooks.TestContext.Test.Name + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-mm-dd-HHmmss") + ".html"; var htmlReporter = new ExtentHtmlReporter(Path.Combine(ParentDir, "AutoResults", FileName)); FilePath = Path.Combine(ParentDir, "AutoResults", FileName);

        report = new ExtentReports();
        report.AttachReporter(htmlReporter);

        htmlReporter.LoadConfig(Path.Combine(currentDir, "extent-config.xml"));

        **test = report.CreateTest(TestContext.CurrentContext.Test.Name);`**

@anshooarora Hey, so it appears the issue comes from switching the ExtentV3HtmlReporter to just the ExtentHtmlReporter, which I see is necessary with version 4. I looked at the documentation and I don't see how I'm using it incorrectly but maybe I am.
