I found my mkbundle jobs started failing a couple months ago, I believe with a switch to mono 5.2.0.224, with this error:
Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at MakeBundle.QueueAssembly (System.Collections.Generic.List`1[T] files, System.String codebase) [0x000bc] in <1eb347299adf445aac66783f3da9ec85>:0 at MakeBundle.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00d5f] in <1eb347299adf445aac66783f3da9ec85>:0 I was hoping this would be fixed with 5.4.0.201, but it still seems to fail. I started digging and it seems that having the --deps option can cause this exception if certain assemblies are referenced. I haven’t figured out which assemblies, maybe facades? A simple “hello world” with very few dependencies works fine, but something with additional framework libraries hits this issue, so I have a “hello world” with the Suave web framework, which includes more of the framework in the bundle. I can reproduce the issue with the following Dockerfile, which will throw the exception at the point it tries to make the bundle. Drop off the --deps option and it works fine (albeit I have to be sure to include all assemblies or there are runtime errors). Any idea what is happening with --deps here?
