Placeholder files from dotnet/runtime packages cause warnings
Rabadash8820 opened this issue · 8 comments
Please see the conversation over at dotnet/runtime#83710. Apparently, many dotnet/runtime packages (e.g., System.Reflection.Emit) include a placeholder _._ file under different framework folders in the lib folder of the nupkg. This indicates that the package has nothing to add in those frameworks; all functionality is already present in the framework binaries. Unfortunately, UnityNuGet (or the Editor itself, I'm not sure which) is removing this placeholder file (maybe treating it as a hidden asset), but leaving a .meta file. This leads to Console warnings about .meta files with no associated folder. These warnings are quite distracting, seeming to appear every time the project is opened. I'm also concerned now that UnityNuGet is falling back to the wrong version of these NuGets, rather than referencing nothing like other NuGet clients would.

I'm not sure if this Issue has been addressed in the latest UnityNuGet versions, but if so then I think that the fix should be acknowledged by a developer here before this Issue is closed.
