Dependent DLLs are not copied to the output

workaround, of course, is to just add the indirect reference directly to the main project…

I have a lot of indirect references in diferents projects.

Other workarround is use xcopy in Post-Build Event but it does not work. https://talk.remobjects.com/t/cant-add-a-post-build-event/17318

Hmm, looking back at this, I don’t see who this COULOD work. You reference ClassLibraryDirect as a plain .dll reference, not a project reference. So the build chain knows nothing about its dependent .dlls at that point. All it sees is the one .dll, so thats all that gets copy-located.

With a Project Reference* to ClassLibraryDirect, this would work, not with a plain reference. The only workaround I see it either (a) adding the indirect dlls as direct references or (b) using project references?

    <Reference Include="ClassLibraryDirect">
      <HintPath>ClassLibraryDirect\Bin\Debug\ClassLibraryDirect.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>True</Private>
    </Reference>

^^ there’s no way the build chain can know about or find ClassLibraryInxirect.dll from this info.

What does status testcaseerr mean?

It means that there was no actual bug to fix.
