Published app 'root' package in `ILibraryManager.GetReferencingLibraries()`

[henkmollema]

When I publish an app and compile it to NuGet packages, it creates a folder 'root':

approot\packages\ConsoleApp2\1.0.0\root\

This causes the ILibraryManager.GetReferencingLibraries() to resolve a project called 'root' and it tries to load it. Which in turn fails with this exception:

Could not load file or assembly 'root' or one of its dependencies. General Exception (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131500)

DNX version: 1.0.0-rc1-update1

Repro:

1. Clone repo (git clone https://github.com/henkmollema/AssemblyLoadRootRepro.git)
2. cd AssemblyLoadRootRepro
3. dnu publish -o c:\publish --no-source
4. cd c:\publish\approot
5. ConsoleApp2.cmd
6. 💥

Is this expected behavior?

The TypeFinder is implemented incorrectly. You're supposed to use info.Assemblies not the name of the library. Libraries represent packages, projects or assemblies, to get the loadable things you need to get the library's assemblies properties

That seems to work, thanks! 👍

For reference, an implementation example:

public IEnumerable<Assembly> GetLoadedAssemblies()
{
    return _libraryManager.GetReferencingLibraries("SomeCoreAssembly")
                          .SelectMany(info => info.Assemblies)
                          .Select(info => Assembly.Load(new AssemblyName(info.Name)));
}
