System.Drawing.Common packaging issue

[smkanadl]

I tried to use Clippit as a replacement for the old OpenXmlPowerTools package (which seems to work fine function wise), but in one place I use it in combination with System.Drawing.Common. In that specific project I was using version 4.7.0 which worked ok with the old package, but with Clippit I get some nuget warning:

Warning MSB3277 Found conflicts between different versions of "System.Drawing.Common" that could not be resolved.
There was a conflict between "System.Drawing.Common, Version=4.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51" and "System.Drawing.Common, Version=4.0.0.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51".
    "System.Drawing.Common, Version=4.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51" was chosen because it was primary and "System.Drawing.Common, Version=4.0.0.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51" was not.

I had a quick look at the code in your repo, but I am not very familiar with paket. To me it looks like Clippit has a dependency on System.Drawing.Common (as it pulls its as package reference) but does not propagate this in the nuget package dependencies.

What is your target framework? If it is full framework you should be able ask MSBuild to generate binding redirect for your project https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/configure-apps/how-to-enable-and-disable-automatic-binding-redirection#disable-manually-in-the-project-file

You also may try v1.5.0-beta4 with updated dependencies

Hi, yes, I was targeting net48, but I was sure to have the binding redirects activated. I'll try the beta-4 on Monday. Thank you very much so far!

@sergey-tihon Hi, I tried the beta4 and it works perfectly for my use case. Many thanks!
