Hard RestSharp dependency on version 100.0.0.0?

[la2texas]

I'm trying to use another library that depends on RestSharp >= 105.x.x.x. But it fails when only referencing the same version as TestLeft (100.0.0.0) (meaning I try to appease SmartBear by referencing the version 100.0.0.0 assembly, but my other library fails). 

When I try to update RestSharp to version 105.x.x.x, testleft fails because it cannot find version 100.0.0.0 (meaning I try to appease the other library, hoping that TestLeft will work with newer versions, but it fails).

Does TestLeft SPECIFICALLY depend on version 100.0.0.0? What is the recommended solution to fix this?

The specific error is:

Any workaround exists for this . I am also getting the same issue.

This is coming when RestSharp is being used at multiple places in the same project  or solution. 

Ex : There is a DLL we are referring into project which has dependency on  RestSharp .

This is coming when "RestSharp" is being used at multiple places in the same project  or solution. 

Ex : There is a "DLL" we are referring into project which has dependency on " RestSharp "

Hi,

I am not .Net guru, so the only thing I can recommend at the moment is to create a Support ticket via the https://support.smartbear.com/message/?prod=TestLeft form and reference this thread.

I would appreciate it if you update this thread with the result of your communication with Support.

The important thing is to know whether the assembly is signed. The RestSharp developers provide two versions: signed and unsigned. They are called "RestSharpSigned" and "RestSharp" in NuGet.

The issue which you are facing is related to the assembly type (signed/unsigned), but not its version. You added the "xxxx.Client" package to the project and this package contains the unsigned version of RestSharp. .NET doesn't load the unsigned version of the assembly if there is a signed version in the project. TestLeft contains the signed version. BTW, you have the "Pivot" package in your project and this package contains the signed version, as well. So, if you try to call code from this package, you will get the same error as in TestLeft. 

However, it looks like we have managed to find a workaround. You can delete "RestSharp.dll" from the project references in Visual Studio and add the signed version of "RestSharp.dll". After this, you should have the signed version in the output folder. To make the "ReportPortal.Client" package work, you need to do the following:

1. You need to load the signed version of RestSharp to the domain before the code from the "xxxx.Client" package is called. This can be done e.g. if you add a static field to "TestFixtureBase" which has a type from RestSharp.
2. Add the "AppDomain.AssemblyResolve" event handler. It will return the already loaded (signed) version when the request to get "RestSharp" is sent.
