Summary: Solution task copies more than just referenced libraries
Initial Comment:
The solution task copies all libraries and related
files located in the referenced directory, not just the
library that is referenced. This is very time consuming
when all build assemblies are stored in a single
directory and referenced from that directory in the
project files.
For example, if the directory c:\test\bin contains
test1.dll, test2.dll, test2.pdb, and test3.dll and
project c:\test\test4\test4.csproj only has one reference:
<Reference
Name = "test1"
AssemblyName = "test1"
HintPath = "..\bin\test1.dll"
/>
When this project is built with a solution task,
test2.dll, test2.pdb and test3.dll will also be copied
into the build directory even though they are not
referenced.

I realized this morning that the build order in the sample
solution was wrong. Project NotReferenced needs to be build
before project Third in order for my argument to have any
merit. I added a project dependency in the solution from
Third to NotReferenced to ensure NotReferenced would be
built before Third in the solution.

I still feel that the true behavior of VS.Net is not being
duplicated in this situation. I've attached a sample
solution and nant build file to demonstrate this.
Extract it directly to c: or change the post-build events.
First build the solution with VS.Net. Look in
ExtraneousAssemblyCopies\Third\bin\Debug - there is no
assembly named NotReferenced.dll in the directory because
that assembly is not referenced by Third.dll, Second.dll, or
First.dll.
Now build using the nant file.
ExtraneousAssemblyCopies\Third\bin\Debug\NotReferenced.dll
now exists even though there is no assembly that references it.
Reminder - VS.Net will not clean directories before building
or rebuilding.

I'll close this report, unless you have something to add to it or
can provide us a repro ...

I agree that it is important to mimic VS for this task. VS
2003 copies the referenced assembly and indirectly
referenced assemblies to the build directory. It does not
copy the entire contents of the directory of the referenced
assembly.

The solution task is supposedly a Nant version of VS running build on a VS solution
file. It would be a bad thing if this task would do things different from VS in my
oppinion. I believe that the "extra" dll's are dependant dll's dependents. If you want
to e.g. run unti tests in the bin/debug folder you need not only the output file it
self, but everything it is in anyway dependant on. Even the most remotly dependant dll
as far as I understand. So unless I've missunderstod .NET dependecies and dll's this
should most definately stay as it is or loads of things might be broken.
