Recently we have moved all our Dlls and other binaries out of github.
All the dependencies/references now stored in packages.config file.
Sample:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<packages>
  <package id="Google.Apis.Gmail.v1" version="1.25.0.825" targetFramework="net451" />
  <package id="NUnit" version="3.6.1" targetFramework="net451" />
  <package id="System.Threading.Tasks.Extensions" version="4.3.0" targetFramework="net451" />
</packages>

We added the following line to gitignore as well:

Code: Select all

/path_to_root/packages/

Now each time we make a clean pull, we need to right click on References and select "Restore packages" to trigger Nuget restore.

Is there a way to make Nuget restore part of the regular "Build->Build" functionality?

Side question: do you guys think this is optimal approach or something can be improved.

My only concern that sometimes my .rxtst files is being modified. From this:

Code: Select all

 <references> 
    <reference> 
      BouncyCastle.Crypto.dll 
    </reference> 
     <reference> 
      Google.Apis.Gmail.v1.dll 
    </reference> 
  </references> 
</testsuitedoc>

To this:

Code: Select all

    <reference> 
      BouncyCastle.Crypto, Version=1.8.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0e99375e54769942 
    </reference> 
     <reference> 
      Google.Apis.Gmail.v1, Version=1.25.0.825, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4b01fa6e34db77ab, processorArchitecture=MSIL 
    </reference> 
  </references> 
</testsuitedoc>

Which might be not the best idea in my opinion, but it's really hard to revert it from one of the main files in Ranorex.

Using the Nuget.exe CLI, you can perform a package restore to your solution as a pre-build step (right click project > properties > build events tab). Check out the link below for more information.

Regarding the modified rxtst file, does this cause any issues with your test?
