Assembly with same name is already loaded

#dotnet #nuget #git #versioning

I am in the process of building and publishing my first ever NuGet package and while I am not ready to go into that today I can post a quick tip about fixing an error I had with a library I am using to help with git versioning.

The library is Nerdbank.GitVersioning and the error I got was when I tried to upgrade from an older version to the current one.

The error?

The "Nerdbank.GitVersioning.Tasks.GetBuildVersion" task could not be loaded from the assembly 

Assembly with same name is already loaded Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask

And the fix was to run the following command, thanks to this issue over on GitHub

dotnet build-server shutdown
nbgv install

Success 🎉
