Squirrel.windows: Releasify not creating -full package file

[bkCDL]

I just upgraded my Squirrel version to 1.2.1.

I tried to run the "releasify" command after my app rebuild as follows:
Squirrel --releasify ..\App.1.0.0.5.nupkg -n "/a /f SHT-CodeSign-2015.pfx /p ##### " -r ..\Releases

But I get this error:

2016-01-04 09:41:11> Program: Starting Squirrel Updater: --releasify ..\App.1.0.0.5.nupkg -n /a /f SHT-CodeSign-2015.pfx /p #####  -r ..\Releases

   at Squirrel.Update.Program.main(String[] args)

It looks like it's not creating the "App.1.0.0.5-full.nupkg" file in the "Releases" directory.

Any thoughts why this might occur?

Im having the same problem, but with GoogleAnalyticsTracker.Simple instead of NuGet.Commands.
I added GoogleAnalyticsTracker.Simple in my latest version of the package.

If i open up FooBar.2.0.0.5.nupkg in 7zip then i can find the file lib\net45\GoogleAnalyticsTracker.Simple.dll so why on earth does it not find it?

The command im running is tools\Squirrel.exe --releasify=FooBar.2.0.0.5.nupkg --icon=Icon.ico --loadingGif=installing.gif --releaseDir=c:\temp\FooBar\Test.

i have tried with version 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 and both seem to have this issue.

Ok i feel a bit stupid, GoogleAnalyticsTracker.Simple is added as a dependency and i guess thats the problem, but a better error message would be nice!

[AnderssonPeter]

Adding developmentDependency="true" to the package in packages.config solved the problem!

[bkCDL]

Thanks @AnderssonPeter ! That works for me too.

[DorGoldi]

That doens't work me :(

here the content of the packages.config file:

<packages>
  <package id="DeltaCompressionDotNet" version="1.1.0" targetFramework="net452" developmentDependency="true"/>
  <package id="PDFsharp-wpf" version="1.50.4740-beta5" targetFramework="net452" developmentDependency="true" />
....

and the error received:

PM> Squirrel --releasify HitKli_WpfApp.1.0.0.nupkg --releaseDir "C:\SquirrelReleases"
Squirrel : System.Exception: Couldn't find file for package in .: PDFsharp-wpf

DorGoldi. I have the same problem

Can you solve?

[DorGoldi]

I fixed that one and had anther issue, got despaired, gave up, and started using a simple script (Inno setup) for a less complex installation.

[antoineazar]

Anyone can help on this issue? I'm hitting the same thing.

[Thieum]

@Andlo2013 @antoineazar if you are still experiencing the issue, please create a new issue with a screenshot of your nupkg open in Nuget Package Explorer like this:
