MethodAccessException - Strong-name signed assemblies must specify a public key in InternalsVisibleTo

[Joshua Go]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a task to modify the Assembly version information from Git commits. This is old, but I followed the steps in this article: http://nowfromhome.com/msbuild-add-git-commit-hash-to-assemblyinfo/

When I build the project, I get a MethodAccessException. Here are the first few error lines:

1. error MSB4018: The "GitVersion" task failed unexpectedly.
   
2. error MSB4018: System.MethodAccessException:  Strong-name signed assemblies must specify a public key in their InternalsVisibleTo declarations.
   
3. error MSB4018:    at MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Git.GitClient.ValidateParameters()\r
   

Note: I removed the path information since it adds clutter.

Note: I'm using the latest MSBuildTasks from Nuget (v1.5.0.183).

I tried looking, but couldn't find much information. Do I need to add an InternalsVisibleTo? I tried the following:

[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("MSBuild.Community.Tasks")]
[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("GitVersion")]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh

As suspected, it was an issue with signing.

The issue has been fixed with this commit: https://github.com/loresoft/msbuildtasks/commit/dff1a03f62bb6614171d46a1bdabee61a76938bf

And the latest nuget package, 1.5.0.196, works as expected.
