AppCenter error executing test solution with Magick.NET

[b4ssk3y]

Hello,
I recently integrated Magick.NET-Q16-x64 in my test project to leverage the image recognition capabilities for image-based tests.
When executing the tests locally on my machine, everything works fine, but as soon as I try to execute the same tests remotely on AppCenter, I get this error on test startup:

Error: Failed to prepare UI Test artifacts using command "test-cloud.exe prepare" with error message: 
Test chunking failed. Please try to delete dlls which are not necessary from the path provided in the --build-dir argument. If this error happens again, please contact support.

For what I read in some threads this may depend by the fact that the build directory contains more DLLs than expected... and this started to happen when I added the Nuget dependency to Magick.NET-Any-Q16

In VS I noticed also that the Magick.NET-Q16-x64 dll is also linked as external object in the solution:

which happens only with Magick.NET NuGet pakage.

Did anyone experience the same issue? Any suggestion on how to overcome the problem ?
Any help is much appreciated :)

Thanks

I don't have any experience with AppCenter but I suspect that you will need to remove the Magick.Native* files that are not used. But it might be better to switch to the Magick.NET-x64-Q16 version instead.

Which Magick files are in your bin folder? And you said that you added a reference to Magick.NET-Any-Q16 or is that a typo?

Hi, in bin/* folder I see Magick.NET-Q16.x64.dll, Magick.NET.Core.dll and Magick.Native-Q16-x64.dll, despite in my .csproj I have:

<ItemGroup> <Content Remove="C:\path\to\.nuget\packages\magick.net-q16-x64\12.2.2\build\netstandard20\..\..\runtimes\win-x64\native\Magick.Native-Q16-x64.dll" /> </ItemGroup>

Visual Studio is version 17.4.3
(Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCpu was a typo in the second sentence of the original message).

Thanks

The Magick.Native-Q16-x64.dll file needs to be in your bin/* because this library won't work with this file.

Hello, maybe I misunderstood something, but:

• in your first reply you said: "you will need to remove the Magick.Native* files that are not used".
• in your last reply, conversely, you say: "The Magick.Native-Q16-x64.dll file needs to be in your bin/* because this library won't work with this file."

Can you please clarify this point better?
Thanks

You will need to remove Magick.Native* files that are not used. The only one that you need is Magick.Native-Q16-x64.dll and when there are other Native files in your output folder they should be removed.
