Won't run on linux under mono due to log4net about reportgenerator

[danielpalme]

Thanks for reporting this.
I will have a look. Probably I will remove log4net completely.

I removed the dependency to log4net
Could you please try again? Any other issues with mono/linux?

Thanks for the update, different log4net error this time. I'm running on a 64bit Linux, I'm guessing you compiled for 32 bit?

Thanks for trying out.
Log4net should not be present at all. I removed it completely. If the DLL still exists in your installation directory, you can delete it. The Nuget package does no more contain the DLL.

I think the root cause here is, that the FileUnblocker uses a native function.
I will try to replace that too, or only call the function on Windows.

Could you please try this beta:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/ReportGenerator/2.3.1-beta2

I was able to able to generate a report using Mono on Ubuntu.

[bertvanbrakel]

Brilliant! Seems to be working. Can't fully test yet as some other lib is causing issues but it looks like the generator is happy.

Many thanks
