I have been trying to use Realm in my Xamarin android proyect, one of it's dependencie is Fody, each time i try to run my app it shows the following error: error MSB4044: The "Fody.WeavingTask" task was not given a value for the required parameter "SolutionDir".

I have been looking for a fix, but can't find it, do you know how to give it a value? where is it?

For the realm nugget package i already created the FodyWeavers.xml

uff, that's a bug you just need to close the solution and open it again.

    These are those kinds of Xamarin issues that makes me want to break my keyboard in half. Thank you. – Lance McCarthy May 25 '18 at 19:19

    I agree this is very frustrating but this may not be Xamarin-specific. I experienced this with a .NET console application. – nick Mar 11 '19 at 18:29
  • I got bit by this too and the solution wasn't obvious. Wonder if this is reproducible... Would be great to be able to send a bug report to whoever could fix it. – Ehtesh Choudhury Mar 14 '19 at 01:31
  • This is specific to Fody, not Xamarin, I got a similar error ```Fody.weavingtask task was not given a value for the required parameter IntermediateDir``` and restarting the solution fixes the issue – Anastasiosyal Jul 01 '19 at 13:25
  • In my case, it was "IntermediateDir" instead of "SolutionDir" and re-opening the solution did fix the problem. – datchung Nov 18 '19 at 21:04

Haahh.., I resolved the same issue by just restarting my solution. ;-)

I am not sure about the error you are getting. Please check for the following points:

1.The FodyWeavers.xml should be in all projects in your solution and looks like this 

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Weavers>
   <RealmWeaver/>
</Weavers>

2.As of today the latest realm package ver 3.0.0 is compatible with Fody ver 2.5.0.
