✅ FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly. The system cannot find the file specified.
I'm modifying an application using AsmResolver and adding a new assembly into the module references, but for some reason .NET can't find the referenced assembly even though it's right there in the same folder as the one I'm editing.
This is .NET Core, not framework, so I can't use fuslogvwr.exe.
I tried saving a .nettrace file and opening it with PerfView, but it failed to load it, and when I ignored the errors, it didn't have anything useful in it at all.
I used Process Monitor to try finding the failed file load event for the DLL in hopes of finding something helpful, but it didn't seem to show up.
Attached is a minimum reproducible example, and a video showing what's wrong. I also tried editing the .deps.json file, since this guy https://discord.com/channels/143867839282020352/1288099229834805248/1288099229834805248 had success with that and a similar problem, but that didn't do anything. If anyone knows how I can fix this or even just how I can get started debugging this problem, that would be incredibly helpful. Is there maybe a way that I could actually step through the code that throws this within the CLR or whatever?
