Namespace error

[ghost]

When I try and compile it gives me this error: "The type or namespace name 'SteamAuth' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

You need to clone the git modules as well.

I am getting this error using VS2015 after cloning the repo and using the Nuget Package Manager to update Newtonsoft.Json to version 8.0.2 - at this point this is the only error I am getting. Is there something about build order that needs to be addressed?

You ought to install the version which is declared in the package configs.

Good point. When I revert to 7.0.1 I get the same error "The type or namespace name 'SteamAuth' could not be found (are you missing a directive or an assembly reference?)"

Check your project's References. Seems like one of them is missing.

I appreciate your help with this.

The references in the SteamAuth project are as follows: Analyzers Microsoft.CSharp Newtonsoft.Json System System.Core System.Data System.Data.DataSetExtensions System.Net.Http System.Xml System.Xml.Linq

Manually removing and adding the dependency fixed the issue for me. It has been also discussed here so perhaps one of the comments will push you in the right direction.

@BlueRaja is this behaviour normal? What's causing the project to not be buildable right away after cloning?

[atannerd]

it looks like it was also discussed here to some degree https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamBot/comments/3xmbmt/steambot_setup_steamauth_error/

[atannerd]

To add some detail here the error is coming from line 131 of Bot.cs

public SteamAuth.SteamGuardAccount SteamGuardAccount;

@scholtzm If it builds after readding the dependency but not before, check the git staged diff to see what's changed.

[scholtzm]

I will test it out tomorrow.

I figured out my foolishness. There were actually some good warnings in the stack that I was not paying attention to. The SteamAuth project was targeting 4.5.2 instead of 4.5. Targeting the project to 4.5 resolved this issue and the thing compiled like a dream. Thanks again for your help.

@BlueRaja OK, found the culprit:

SteamAuth.csproj

// current
- <HintPath>packages\Newtonsoft.Json.7.0.1\lib\net45\Newtonsoft.Json.dll</HintPath>

// fixed
+ <HintPath>..\..\packages\Newtonsoft.Json.7.0.1\lib\net45\Newtonsoft.Json.dll</HintPath>

Looks like the issue is related to SteamAuth being a submodule and the path is broken.
