Does Cake.MarkdownToPdf work with Cake.Frosting?

[mgnslndh]

Cake.MarkdownToPdf works fine with scripted Cake but I can't get it to work using Cake.Frosting. In Frosting I use a <PackageReference/> but that won't copy the themes bundled with Cake.MarkdownToPdf.

I guess I can set the paths manually but I'm wondering if I'm doing anything wrong or if there might be a bug causing themes to not work in Frosting.

I'm using Cake.MarkdownToPdf 2.5.2

I guess the NuGet package needs to be fixed for better integration with Cake.Frosting. Right now the wkhtmltopdf.exe dependency is located in the lib folder which cause VS to load it as an assembly:

 warning MSB3246: Resolved file has a bad image, no metadata, or is otherwise inaccessible. System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'wkhtmltopdf.exe' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

I'm seeing the same thing, and I agree with your assessment that this is due to the exe being placed inside the lib folder of the package. Are you in a position to open an issue over at https://github.com/twenzel/Cake.MarkdownToPdf/issues ?

Yes, I can do that.

I submitted two separate issues:

• NuGet package cause build warnings when used as a PackageReference twenzel/Cake.MarkdownToPdf#45
• Themes are not found when package is consumed by Cake.Frosting project twenzel/Cake.MarkdownToPdf#46
