尽管引用了程序集却无法加载

Question

I'm looking at incorporating the new Google Apps Script Execution API into an existing C# plugin i have already working. I am following the .NET quickstart guide provided as a console application (which i have gotten working without problem).

When porting the code from that into my plugin it will also fail at runtime at the first instance of:

UserCredential credential;

which I slimmed down the code so far to just that line which fails giving:

"Could not load file or assembly 'Google.Apis.Auth, Version=1.9.2.27817, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4b01fa6e34db77ab' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

The file is properly referenced (having installed via nuget).

C# is not my normal field and perhaps i'm missing something in the subtlety of it working in a Console App.

What gives?

Answer 1

There was a time when console apps defaulted to using the client profile rather than the full .Net framework. Check the properties of the project on the Application tab and make sure the target framework doesn't end with Client profile. If that doesn't work try using the fusion log viewer , which you'll find conviently located at C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\Bin, or any number of other places . Run it as an admin and it'll tell you what it can't load (which may or may not be Google.Apis.Auth) and where it looked for the file at.

Answer 2

This has been a little bit of a red herring. Not very well documented is the fact for the app i am building against, Autodesk Navisworks, plugin dependency libraries have to be duplicated in a separate directory altogether from the plugins directory.

Easily fixed for the build environment, but will need a little more thought for when creating a distributable.
