Relative path parameter doesn't work

[tpluscode]

Hi

Here's how I run GitLink in my solution

$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Build\GitLink.exe" "$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\.." -u https://github.com/r2rml4net/core

Apparently the .. path segment doesn't work for some reason.

I've fixed this by wrapping the path in $([System.IO.Path]::GetFullPath(..)) but it looks like a bug.

Good find. Will add this code.

Prerelease version with fix has been deployed.

[tpluscode]

Thanks. The NuGet package doesn't add a reference anymore, does it? In such case could you change it so that the exe sits in net20 folder. Currently I got an error saying I can't install the package becuase it targets only .NET 4.5.

Hm, I replaced the exe and the build server failed with exception [TypeInitializationException] System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception. ---> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'git2-3f8d005'

Why is that?

[GeertvanHorrik]

My screw up, I have to replace the embedded libs every time I update the libgit2sharp package. Just released a fix.

And what about the NuGet pacakge requirement for net45? Is that necessary?

[GeertvanHorrik]

Not sure. You can reference the executable as a regular library and use it if you need it. That doesn't work anymore?

[tpluscode]

It sure works when I simply drop it in a tools folder and run from msbuild (I use the <Exec /> task).

But installing from NuGet fails because I target .NET 4.0 and the package only contains a net45 folder.

I've created a new issue for my NuGet questions.

And of course the new GitLink.exe works fine with relative paths.

Thanks, we will keep this issue closed and continue on the other one.
