Generate Load Scripts fails with BadImageFormatException on Microsoft.TestPlatform.TestHost

[ChrSteinert]

Description

When the package Microsoft.TestPlatform.TestHost is a dependency in paket.dependencies file and it is tried to create a load script for that dependency paket fails with a BadImageFormatException.

Repro steps

See a repro repo here: https://github.com/ChrSteinert/Paket-3097
Do a paket install && paket generate-load-scripts do trigger the bug.

Expected behavior

Paket ignores native dll files.

Actual behavior

Paket tries on multiple occasions to load .dll files of a package. Some are guarded by try…with, but some are not. Load Script generation hits the latter one and breaks if it tries to load native dlls from (for instance) the Microsoft.TestPlatform.TestHost package.

Known workarounds

Do not generate Load Scripts for those packages.

any chance to send a fix? I think @isaacabraham hit it as well

Hmmm. I vaguely remember something about this but can't remember when or where. Getting old I guess...

It was hitting you here: fsprojects/FSharp.CloudAgent#19 @isaacabraham 😄

Let me see if I can understand what is going on quickly and not just bash a try…with in there as well…
