InterfaceStubGenerator not working on build

[anaisbetts]

I don't have any refit stub classes in that project (they're all in a different one that is referenced in this one) so I'm not sure why the generator is trying to check all these.

We don't know up-front which projects use Refit and which don't, that's why we have to run the generator :)

Does the build run locally?

[pierskarsenbarg]

The solution builds both locally (in visual studio and when I run msbuild on the command line) and in teamcity but when I run the project that I want to deploy (i.e. the main website project rather than the other projects that the website project references) I get the same error

[pierskarsenbarg]

It's worth noting that the website project has a reference to refit, but it's only used when I'm referencing the RestService.For() method when building an ioc container. In this case:

container.RegisterSingle<IReconApi>(() => RestService.For<IReconApi>(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ApiUrl"]));

as I'm passing it into a few service constructors.

Is TeamCity running package restore?

[pierskarsenbarg]

No, package install.

Also, the website project isn't building locally by itself. The entire solution builds fine.

I don't understand this at all

[pierskarsenbarg]

So... I run the following: msbuild solution.sln and it compiles. No problem.

The website project within the same solution: msbuild Website\website.csproj and it fails with the following error:

"E:\Dev\secure\src\Website\Website.csproj" (default target) (1) -> (PreBuildEvent target) -> C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(1131,5): error MSB3073: The command ""..\packages\refit.2.1.0\tools\InterfaceStubGenerator.exe" E:\Dev\secure\src\Website\RefitStubs.cs" "App_Start\IoC.cs;App_Start\LessTransform.cs;App_Start\RouteConfig.cs;App_Start\BundleConfig.cs;Classes\BundleHelper.cs;Classes\FormHelper.cs;Controllers\CallbackController.cs;Controllers\T101AsyncController.cs;Models\ConfirmationViewModel.cs;Orchestrators\ISecurePaymentOrchestrator.cs;Controllers\SecureController.cs;Orchestrators\SecurePaymentOrchestrator.cs;Controllers\T101Controller.cs;Global.asax.cs;Models\PaymentViewModel.cs;Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs"" exited with code 3. [E:\Dev\secure\src\Website\Website.csproj]

I've checked all the file paths and they're correct and I'm wondering if there's something in the stub generator exe that's breaking it. Or if there's something that I'm unintentionally not allowing the stub generator to do

[anaisbetts]

The website project within the same solution: msbuild Website\website.csproj and it fails with the following error:

This fails because MSBuild doesn't provide $(SolutionDir) when you compile from something that isn't a solution. Nothing we can do about it because packagedir is always found relative to the solution

[bennor]

I ran into this limitation on a project and found that you can work around it by manually setting the $(SolutionDir) property as part of the command:

msbuild /property:SolutionDir="%CD%\\"  Website\website.csproj

Assuming you are running the command from the solution directory. If not, use any other full path (with trailing slash).

[leojh]

I'm actually getting this error when building from the solution

[anaisbetts]

@leojh Can you paste in the error you're seeing here?

[leojh]

@paulcbetts, I'm seeing the exact same error posted above. My client's solution file may just be truly messed up. It's a hotchpotch of different types of projects in different languages, etc. So it's probably that.

[bennor]

Could be an unrelated error - that's just a generic error you'll get in VS any time InterfaceStubGenerator.exe fails. Can you try running the command at the command line (you'll need to clean up the quoting to make it work) and give us a dump of the exact error.

[luisrudge]

I'm having this problem too on appveyor with an Azure Cloud Project.

Notice the Undefined/projects. I'm guessing SolutionDir isn't available too? Can we fix this?

Having similar issue with building in visual studio locally

This is a very old version. Please try the latest and open a new issue if there's still a problem. Thanks.
