Example builds using old version of Excel DNA

Zupnik opened this issue · 1 comments

Your Logging example works fine for me out of the box, but when I use NuGet to get the latest version of Excel DNA (0.34.6) and use the command 'Update-Package -reinstall', all logs go through the Diagnostic Display regardless of what I do.

The build event code ends up being replaced with:
<PostBuildEvent> </PostBuildEvent> </PropertyGroup> <Import Project="packages\ExcelDna.AddIn.0.34.6\tools\ExcelDna.AddIn.targets" Condition="Exists('packages\ExcelDna.AddIn.0.34.6\tools\ExcelDna.AddIn.targets')" /> <Target Name="EnsureExcelDnaTargetsImported" BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild" Condition="'$(ExcelDnaTargetsImported)' == ''"> <Error Condition="!Exists('packages\ExcelDna.AddIn.0.34.6\tools\ExcelDna.AddIn.targets') And ('$(RunExcelDnaBuild)' != '' And $(RunExcelDnaBuild))" Text="You are trying to build with ExcelDna, but the NuGet targets file that ExcelDna depends on is not available on this computer.

@Zupnik Not sure about the message you see there - it seems to be an unrelated NuGet issue.
For the logging you should check that the .xll.config file is getting copied to the output directory. I believe the new build implementation deals with .config files a bit differently. I remember having to set an app.config file to either "Build Action: None" or "Build Action: Content" for it to be processed to the output directory. But in the sample the .config file have the full name, so not sure it applies...
