Description

FSI fails to load generated load script file

Repro steps

Run the following commands with forge on W10 and paket 5.177.1

1. forge paket init

2. forge paket add FSharp.Control.FusionTasks

3. forge paket generate-load-scripts

4. run the following fsx file

#load @".paket\load\netcoreapp2.1\main.group.fsx"

Expected behavior

Should be able to load main package script

Actual behavior

Get the following output when trying to load the script

main.group.fsx(27,1): error FS0074: The type referenced through 'System.Threading.Tasks.ValueTask' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Threading.Tasks.Extensions'.

Known workarounds

none

Thanks for the report @chinwobble, this may be related to dotnet/fsharp#3309

If you can, would you try loading this way:

#load @".paket\load\net462\main.group.fsx"

FSI is only supported on full .net framework AFAIK, if you need to reference netstandard binaries, you'll need to use work around detailled in the visualfsharp issue I mentioned above.

Yes @smoothdeveloper is correct but just to confirm loading a netcoreapp load script into full framework fsi is never a safe operation, even when visualfsharp fixes the current problems. As indicated you need to generate and use the full framework load script
