Getting 243 build errors that are all variations of: "The type or namespace name 'Missing_Project' could not be found (and you are missing a using directive or an assembly reference?"
Screencap: https://postimg.cc/ctnH62qD
--
"Missing_Project" is the second last project to build and when I clean-build itself, there are no errors. It seems to build fine. It's when I try to build the next project (Let's call it "Next_Project") that these errors appear telling me "Missing_Project" could not be found.
What I know for sure:
- "Missing_Project" is building successfully
- "Next_Project" needs "Missing_Project" and can't find it
--
What I've tried:
- checked /bin for the relevant DLL, it's there as expected -- this confirms the build
- deleted contents of /bin and then clean-build
- checked references for Next_Project to contain Missing_Project and removed it then re-added it as a reference
- checked the dependency versions
- checked my mapping to the right branch and pull the latest
- check that I don't have pending changers open in local
- deleted the entire branch and re-cloned it clean
- run Visual Studio in admin; checked I'm logged in properly
I don't know what else to do. This is a major blocker. Spend a couple hours screen-sharing with seniors at work who also couldn't figure it out (yet) but we plan on trying again tomorrow morning.
Also, this really weird thing where if I click the error and open the file, the error itself will disappear as if it's resolved (but it's not).
Maybe relevant: This happened after pulling latest.
Has this happened to anyone?
