Is there a way to add paths to 3rd Party assemblies for proper directory harvesting by heat?


We are trying to introduce more automation into the generation of our installation using heat. Our build outputs artifacts in a directory that I would like to harvest using heat. Since we do not output 3rd party assemblies into the artifacts directory we receive a HEAT5151 warning (Could not harvest data from a file that was expected to be an assembly....) Is there a way to reference a path to the 3rd party libraries for heat?


Solution

  • I think the solution would be to output the third-parties to the same directory to let heat resolve the references. Otherwise, you're facing the problem outlined here. This issue was moved to be fixed in v4.0 as you can see.
