One of the nuget dependencies in my project (Swashbuckle) requires a version of the System.Web.Http library (4.0.0.0) that is older than the version required by the rest of the project (5.2.3.0).
Swashbuckle requires that I write a class implementing a certain interface:
public class OperationFilter : Swashbuckle.Swagger.IOperationFilter
{
public void Apply(Swashbuckle.Swagger.Operation operation, Swashbuckle.Swagger.SchemaRegistry schemaRegistry, System.Web.Http.Description.ApiDescription apiDescription)
{
}
}
The important part above is the apiDescription parameter of Apply.
When building the project normally, the above compiles and runs fine. However, when I reflect over the running assembly using assembly.GetTypes(),
var asm = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var types = asm.GetTypes()
a ReflectionTypeLoadException is thrown, with the following loader exception details:
Method 'Apply' in type 'OperationFilter' from assembly 'MyAssembly,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an
implementation.
this question references the above exception, but none of the solutions posed seem to work. I tried to solve the issue by adding a bindingRedirect to Web.config:
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Http" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-5.2.3.0" newVersion="5.2.3.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
However, that didn't seem to do anything.
How can I get this type to load properly?
EDIT: I've created a minimal reproduction of the issue. A build task in BuildTask.targets loads the project assembly and then tries to load all the types. The errors are thrown and displayed.
