Doesn't do anything

[Noxxys]

Hi, maybe I'm doing this wrong, but ncbeauty doesn't do anything for me. it completes without any error message, but no sub-directory is created

During publish:

1>------ Publish started: Project: RageLauncher, Configuration: Release Any CPU ------

When run manually from the command line:
ncbeauty bin
No output, no change

ncbeauty --force=True bin
No output, no change

I'm using .NET Core 3.1. Here's the relevant parts of my project file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

Try setting BeautyLogLevel to Info and see what is outputed.

I created this .NET Core 3.1 console app from Visual Studio, and it didn't come with a runtimeconfig.json by default. What should this file contain to make ncbeauty work?

[Noxxys]

Nevermind, there's a RageLauncher.runtimeconfig.json file automatically generated when I build the app.
It seems ncbeauty is searching in the wrong folder:
no runtimeconfig.json found in C:\Dev\Repos\RDR2\RageLauncher\RageLauncher\bin\Release\netcoreapp3.1\publish" bin

[liesauer]

@Noxxys ncbeauty only with Self-contained deployments mode, the /path/to/project/OUTPUT/publish is right publish path if u didn't set the output path or publish path, and i am very curious why the compiler doesn't copy the app.runtimeconfig.json into publish path, where dii u find the app.runtimeconfig.json? C:\Dev\Repos\RDR2\RageLauncher\RageLauncher\bin\Release?

[Noxxys]

It works from the command line with the global tool if I use it like this:

ncbeauty --loglevel=Info "C:\Dev\Repos\RDR2\RageLauncher\RageLauncher\bin\Release\netcoreapp3.1\publish" bin

However, it still doesn't work when I publish from Visual Studio. It is already in self contained mode, as you can see in my publish profile that I posted in the bug description.

The runtimeconfig.json file is properly copied when I build or publish:

[liesauer]

can u upload a test case(or this project if u don't mind) for me. To be honest, i haven't use vs a long time ago(because vs for mac is a little bit hard to use), i use vsc now. maybe this is a compatible issue with vs when publish. i will test it tonight.

[Noxxys]

Sure, you can download the source code from my repo
I'm using Visual Studio 2019 Community on Windows 10

[liesauer]

@Noxxys it is a BUG, and fixed in v1.2.2. if BeautyDir ends with \ will cause wrong command line. so the command line ncbeauty "\path\to\beauty\" bin will treat BeautyDir as \path\to\beauty" bin, the right on should be \path\to\beauty and bin is the LibDir.
You don't have to do anything but update NetCoreBeauty to v1.2.2, nuget.org may takes 30mins - 1h to index the new package.

[Noxxys]

Thank you, I confirm it works with the new version.
