Episerver: Could not load file or assembly StructureMap.Web

Categories Tags

Upgraded some Episerver packages and ended up with bad assembly references. 

The error

Could not load file or assembly 'StructureMap.Web, Version=1.0.0.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. 
The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the 
assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Stack Trace

[FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'StructureMap.Web, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)]

Solution

So somehow the upgrade linked the wrong nuget package

This can be confirmed by checking the csproj-file

<Reference Include="StructureMap.Web, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e60ad81abae3c223, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\packages\structuremap.web-signed.3.1.6.191\lib\net40\StructureMap.Web.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

 Solution

Check your packages folder, I'd bet there is another version of StructureMap available, in my case 

<Reference Include="StructureMap.Web, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e60ad81abae3c223, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\packages\structuremap.web.4.0.0.315\lib\net40\StructureMap.Web.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

Replacing the structuremap.web-signed.3.1.6.191 with the correct version structuremap.web.4.0.0.315.

You may also need to reinstall the package using the nuget console

Update-Package StructureMap.Web -Reinstall

Clean and rebuild!
