Build problems

[nathaniel-holder]

I'm having trouble building this project, specifically with the RestSharp assembly. Is this a known issue? What .Net Framework is supported, and what version of Visual Studio? Sorry for newbie questions.

[christianrondeau]

No problem :) The solution should open with Visual Studio 2015 (though I've been running with 2017 for a while), and it's using .NET Framework 4.5.2.

What problem(s) do you have?

Ahh, I figured it out: the project TechTalk.JiraRestClient.csproj had an incorrect <HintPath>. Here's the diff:

I'm getting Jira authorization denied. Does this work with a cloud-based Jira account (eg with URL of https://<myproject>.atlassian.net)? If so, does it work with two-step authentication? Thanks so much!

[nathaniel-holder]

Ahh, figured it out again: I needed to use an API token instead of password when Two-step authentication is enabled.

Weird that you had to change the HintPath. Is RestSharp in \Modules\JiraRestClient\packages\RestSharp.104.1? How did you do the NuGet package restore?

[vipetrul]

The problem is how two subrepositories (JiraRestClient and C--Toggl-Api-Client) reference NuGet packages. They both are using relative path, which is a problem for this project, because location is NuGet packages is different.

I usually manually fix references before I build the project. Example of the change:
change this:
<HintPath>..\packages\RestSharp.104.1\lib\net4-client\RestSharp.dll</HintPath>
to this:
<HintPath>$(SolutionDir)\packages\RestSharp.104.1\lib\net4-client\RestSharp.dll</HintPath>

It would be ideal if those subrepo dependencies would use $(SolutionDir) to begin with.

[christianrondeau]

Agreed @vipetrul. It would probably be simpler to just get rid of these submodules and simply call the json APIs directly.. But that's a pretty minor inconvenience. A note in the readme may be warranted.
