https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=639819#c0 Summary: Assembly.Load() should throw FileLoadException instead of FileNotFoundException Classification: Mono Product: Mono: Class Libraries Version: 2.6.x Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: CORLIB AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] QAContact: [email protected] Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100824 Firefox/3.6.9 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0E) In case a developer wants to load an assembly from a path, he can be confused at first and use Assembly.Load() instead of Assembly.LoadFile(). In this case, the developer doesn't get good feedback of what went wrong, because the file is there and it exists, but a FileNotFoundException with the path is thrown. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Place a managed and valid dll in /home/myself/ as the name "hello.dll". 2. Use Assembly.Load ("/home/myself/hello.dll") 3. Place your exe in /home/myself/. 4. Run it. Actual Results: Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly '/home/myself/hello.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: '/home/myself/hello.dll' Expected Results: MS.NET is a bit better at this, but still not perfect. MS.NET throws: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'C:\\VersionToleran tSerializationTestLib.dll' or one of its dependencies. The given assembly name o r codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047) File name: 'C:\\VersionTolerantSerializationTestLib.dll' What we should throw: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load assembly '/home/myself/hello.dll' or one of its dependencies. The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047) File name: '/home/myself/home/myself/hello.dll.dll' NOTE: The last filename is not a typo. When running the program with strace, even though the FileNotFoundException reports /home/myself/hello.dll as the path, the actual syscall operation for opening the file is trying to open '/home/myself/home/myself/hello.dll.dll' -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
