Dependent assemblies fail to load from within Razor Views about dotnetcoreplugins HOT 2 CLOSED

Another symptom of possibly-the-same root issue is that a custom View Model defined within the plugin cannot be used as the @model of a View. The plugin assembly cannot be found at runtime.

Thanks for reporting. There were two problems.

1. The sample didn't load related assemblies (e.g. the Views assembly) correctly. MVC's RelatedAssemblyAttribute.GetRelatedAssemblies API calls Assembly.LoadFile under the hood, which creates its own unique load context and bypasses the plugin's assembly resolution logic.
2. The implementation of assembly resolution always skipped assemblies which were not predefined in .deps.json (or programmatically with AssemblyLoadContextBuilder.) I added a change so that when all else fails, the loader tries to find assemblies in the plugin's base directory.

Give this a shot and let me know if it works: https://www.myget.org/feed/natemcmaster/package/nuget/McMaster.NETCore.Plugins/0.2.2-rtm.41
