switch-to-projects: does not remove Packages about dnt HOT 8 CLOSED

It works! (mostly)
I changed the dnt-file so it has multiple entries for one nuget-package. Now switch-to-projects changes the solution as wanted.

BUT:
the dnt-file is modified with a "restore"-section to restore the solution.
But the "mappings"-section is changed, so only one line is remaining! That looks like an error. The file should be restored to the original state to make it possible to use it again quickly.
i do a revert from svn before next use, but that should be fixed.

After some debugging dnt:

am i correct, that dnt does not support multiple dlls (source projects) in one nuget-package?
It looks, that dnt-file can´t hold the information, what nuget-package has to be replaced by it´s source-projects.

As all my nuget-packages include multiple dll-projects, this would make dnt useless for me. Or is there a workaround (pleas put it in wiki) or plans to add support?

from dnt.

Are you referring to this type of structure?

from dnt.

Yes! This is nearly my situation. Except, that my solution references multiple packages with each holding multiple dlls.
The projects of the dlls are included into my solution, but the referenced nuget-Package is still there.
I think, it´s a problem with my dnt file. The option of mutliple dlls is not mentioned in samples oder documentation.
I will try this evening....

@giboX could you please give us an example of your dnt file?

from dnt.

But the "mappings"-section is changed, so only one line is remaining! That looks like an error.

i think this could be a bug / unforeseen problem because you defined the same nuget twice?

from dnt.

I created some snippets from my system. My original working file is much larger, so i cut out some lines and changed names.
The Problem is, that i have multiple DLLs in one Package.
A quick look into dnt source shows, that does not use the list of mappings to write the dnt file.

This was tested with 1.5.1 and 1.6.1

This is the original file:

{
"solution": "My_Sln.sln",
"mappings": {
"Pkg_1": "C:/dev/Packages/Pkg_q/trunk/P_1.csproj",
"Pkg_1": "C:/dev/Packages/Pkg_q/trunk/P_2.csproj",
}
}

This file is changed to:

{
"solution": "My_Sln.sln",
"mappings": {
"Pkg_1": "C:/dev/Packages/Pkg_q/trunk/P_1.csproj"
},
"restore": [
{
"name": "Package_1",
"packages": [
{
"packageName": "Pkg_1",
"version": "3.24.0-"
}
]
},
{
"name": "Package_2",
"packages": [
{
"packageName": "Pkg_2",
"version": "3.24.0-"
}
]
}
]
}

from dnt.

i found my error: it´s the json-file!

Back then i followed the advice from @simax, but there i took the wrong sample as a solution. So it did not work.

My correct json file should look like this: (the package needs an array!)

{
"solution": "My_Sln.sln",
"mappings": {
"Pkg_1": [
"C:/dev/Packages/Pkg_q/trunk/P_1.csproj",
"C:/dev/Packages/Pkg_q/trunk/P_2.csproj"]
}
}
