EPiServer.Find.UnifiedSearch.ForInstanceOf throws exception under certain conditions
Fixed issue where EPiServer.Find.UnifiedSearch.ForInstanceOf throws exceptions under certain conditions. Issue Description Extension method: in EPiServer.Find, Version=13.2.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8fe83dea738b45b7 will throw ReflectionTypeLoadException if an assembly that is loaded into the excecution context cannot in turn load all of its direct and indirect dependencies (recursively). There are many real-world situations where this can happen. Here it is a case of using the NuGet package "Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform", which allows the use of Roslyn compilers when compiling ASP.NET pages in runtime for example). Steps to Reproduce 1. Do something causing an assembly to be present in the bin folder hierarchy that does not have access to all it's (recursive) dependencies. Steps to reproduce in Alloy Demo: Unknown macro: {
string binDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(new Uri(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase).LocalPath);
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(binDirectory);
Assembly[] assemblies = di.GetFiles("*.dll", SearchOption.AllDirectories).Select(fi => fi.FullName).Where(fn => fn.IndexOf("native", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) < 0).Select(fn => Assembly.LoadFrom(fn)).ToArray();
}
private ITypeSearch<ISearchContent> BuildQuery(FindSearchContentModel model, string selectedAnalyzer) FakePreLoadAssemblies(); Compile, run and search. It will now fail with a ReflectionTypeLoadException.
