Generator throws System.IO.FileNotFoundException if RefitStubs.cs does not exist

[alexeyzimarev]

In version 2.2.1 the generator crashes with FileNotFoundException if target RefitStubs.cs (second parameter) does not exist.

When I create an empty RefitStubs.cs file, the build works. It worked fine in 2.1, started to fail after updating to 2.2.

RefitStubs.cs is added as part of the NuGet package, did you remove it by-hand?

[alexeyzimarev]

There are two possibilities.

1. Packages are not restored on a build server but loaded from VCS.
2. NCrunch build, no nuget restore but different output folder

Why was this closed?

[alexeyzimarev]

@Cheesebaron Paul is right, when nuget restore is done, the file is created. It is a bit inconvenient since it does not work when packages are restored for a project, not for the whole solution, and this is a default for Visual Studio.
