Hello,
VirtualFS and obfuscation doesn’t seem to like eachother. I compiled my project in release mode and when obfuscation is applied (works fine without) I get this exception:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Virtual file not found
File name: ‘WebAPI.188ad0c5e6484a3c80af16975f5536c7’
at ServiceStack.VirtualPath.ResourceVirtualDirectory.CreateVirtualFile(String resourceName)

at ServiceStack.ServiceStackHost.Init()
at BeyondMeasure.WebAPI.WebAPI.Init()
Now, if do Config.EmbeddedResourceSources.Clear(), the error goes away, but what exactly am I loosing and how did my assembly end up among those resources anyway?
Per Malmberg:
These are the obfuscation options used.
[assembly: Obfuscation( Feature = “encrypt symbol names with password mypassword”, Exclude = false )]
[assembly: Obfuscation( Feature = “code control flow obfuscation”, Exclude = false )]
[assembly: Obfuscation( Feature = “PEVerify”, Exclude = false )]
The EmbeddedResourceSources holds ServiceStack.dll which is needed for the Metadata pages and HTML format pages, so it’s a good idea to leave ServiceStack.dll in there, which you can re-add after clearing with:
Config.EmbeddedResourceSources.Add(typeof(ServiceStack.Service).Assembly);
Maybe I can prevent this exception, how did you add obfuscation?
Per Malmberg:
I’m using Eazfuscator, I can give you the details tonight.
