he "CreateBundles" task failed unexpectedly.

[Dirk Rombauts]

I wanted to give the MSBuild integration a try ... I added the NuGet
package, compiled ... and boom :-(

The funny thing here is that my project does have a reference to
Cassette.dotless.Core, version 1.2.2.0.

Is there something obvious that I'm doing wrong?

The MSBuild package is missing the dotless DLL.

The latest in the master branch has the dotless code directly within the main Cassette.dll. The next release will have this and should resolve the problem for you.

Using version 1.2.0, I get a different error:

Error 53 The "CreateBundles" task failed unexpectedly.

Does "packages\Cassette.MSBuild.1.2.0\tools\" contain Cassette.dll and is it the correct version?

[Dirk Rombauts]

Yes it does, and yes it seems to be the correct version: 

// Assembly Cassette, Version 1.2.0.29653

Location:	C:\Dev\Code\WorldOfPPC\packages\Cassette.MSBuild.1.2.0\Tools\Cassette.dll
Name:	Cassette, Version=1.2.0.29653, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
Type:	Library

I've got the same problem

[Simone Basso]

even if it looks like the library is being loaded correctly, so it could be due to a dependency missing in that folder

[Simone Basso]

In my case, copying Microsoft.Scripting.dll and a few other dependencies (Pandora.dll, SassAndCoffee.Core.dll) into packages\Cassette.MSBuild.1.2.0\Tools fixed the build

[Dirk Rombauts]

I had to copied IronRuby.dll, Microsoft.Dynamic.dll and Microsoft.Scripting.dll into the ... \Cassette.MSBuild.1.2.0\tools\ directory, and then it compiles.

I hope this issue can be fixed - because the feature itself is SOOOO cool: startup time of my website is close to 0 again!
