.config with dllmap not working with app domains with shadow copying enabled

[chmorgan]

I'm trying to run nunit tests in Tests.dll against PacketDotNet.dll (which uses SharpPcap.dll). It's SharpPcap.dll that uses dllmap to map from wpcap to libpcap on Linux (and I guess Mac, I'm new to Mac and haven't tried).

On Linux this used to work great but something changes and it stopped working. From the debug output it looks like the SharpPcap.dll.config file isn't being honored.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone https://github.com/chmorgan/packetnet/tree/net_test_2
2. Build project
3. cd Test/bin/Release
4. mono /usr/lib/mono/4.5/nunit-console.exe Test.dll
5. Failure to find wpcap (should be mapped to libpcap.so by SharpPcap.dll.config file)

Directory content

$ ls
icmpv6.dat   nunit.framework.dll  PacketDotNet.pdb  SharpPcap.dll.config  Test.dll      Test.pdb
log4net.dll  PacketDotNet.dll     SharpPcap.dll     SharpPcap.xml         Test.dll.mdb  TestResult.xml

Current Behavior

$ ls /usr/lib64/libpcap*
/usr/lib64/libpcap.so.1  /usr/lib64/libpcap.so.1.8.1

ldconfig showing that pcap is found:

$ ldconfig -v |grep pcap
ldconfig: Can't stat /libx32: No such file or directory
ldconfig: Path `/usr/lib' given more than once
ldconfig: Path `/usr/lib64' given more than once

	libpcap.so.1 -> libpcap.so.1.8.1
ldconfig: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied

SharpPcap.dll.config:

<configuration>
  <dllmap dll="wpcap" target="libpcap.so.1" />

@lambdageek is this a regression?

[lambdageek]

Doesn't seem to pick up the .dll.config on OSX either. Going to try some older mono versions and after that some nunit flags (theory: it's an appdomains thing).

[lambdageek]

Works with mono 4.8.1 (mono-4.8.0-branch/22a39d7)

[lambdageek]

Yep, the issue seems to be related to shadow copying for app domains. Running NUnit with shadow copying disabled, we pick up the .dll.config and look for libpcap as expected:

mono .../nunit-console.exe -noshadow Test.dll
