How to add a project reference to a project in VS Code on macOS












0














So I've created a new c# project ("Photos") on macOS using the etoapp (Eto.Forms) project template:



dotnet new etoapp -sln -m code -s


This created a new sln file as well as a project folder "Photos" as well as the macOS bootstrapper project folder "Photos.Mac".



Now I have a need to add another class library project to the solution:



// mac:Photos SamAxe$
mkdir ZXing.Eto
cd ZXing.Eto
dotnet new classlib


open ZXing.Eto.csproj in VSCode and change the TargetFramework to netstandard2.0



now add the project as a reference to the Eto main project:



// mac:Photos/Photos SamAxe$
dotnet add reference Photos.csproj ../ZXing.Eto.csproj


and finally add the new project to the sln file:



// mac:Photos SamAxe$
dotnet sln add ZXing.Eto/ZXing.Eto.csproj
nuget restore


finally, try to use the ZXing.Eto types in the Photos project:



In Photos/Photos/MainForm.cs add



using ZXing.Eto;


This results in




The type or namespace 'Eto' does not exist in the namespace 'ZXing' (are you missing an assembly reference?'




Well, yes, I think I may be.. but I'm at a loss for what to do to resolve this. Ideas?
