❔ Help copying dependencies to output folder
Hey guys! I'm setting up some CI tools for myself and have run into the following issue:
I use ILRepack to pack all my dependencies into my distributed plugin. As it stands, I expect them to be in the output folder.
When I build my project from VS2022, all dependencies are copied to the output folder, as is standard practice for 
) project.
I need to build with
.NET Framework. However, if I build the same project with dotnet build (using .NET 7.0.4), that doesn't happen, and the usual method for doing so in .NET Standard / .NET Core / .NET 5+ (CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies) doesn't work because this is a .NET Framework project. I've explored upgrading my project to .NET Standard, and will do so if I have to, but in testing I hit some compatibility issues that I'm not confident I'd be able to iron out in my large (to me ) project.
I need to build with dotnet build for CI purposes, so... Either I bite the bullet and upgrade to .NET Standard 2.1 or find some way to locate dependency .dlls when building from dotnet build.
Anyone got any insight, or willing to sanity check me? <:ChillBar_pray:872511920119377941>22 replies
