Compatible with Razor 2.0? about razorengine HOT 23 CLOSED

I have the same issue, I've just migrated my MVC4 which uses system.web.razor 2.0.0.0 to use Postal, which uses RazorEngine. Unfortunately after I deploy my project to its Azure environment I get:

"Could not load type 'System.Web.Razor.Parser.SyntaxTree.CodeSpan' from assembly 'System.Web.Razor, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'".

I'm also using the same bindingRedirect.

So I'm a bit stuck at the moment and looking to rollback to MVC3.

Any ideas?

I've the same issue

from razorengine.

They removed some classes and refactored others in v2 - which breaks RazorEngine :(

from razorengine.

I'm having the same problem. Is there any workaround for it?

from razorengine.

The only way I could find was to remove the redirect to WebPages 2.0 from web.config placed there by NuGet - so far no problems but I'm not using any other packages that require this assembly

from razorengine.

Where is that redirect you are talking about?
And for that i need to include web pages 2.0 and 1.0 assemblies on the solution?

from razorengine.

Yes. Be careful because nuget seems to re-add it if you change packages

Somehow the XML is not showing up - in web.config there's a bindingRedirect for 0-2 of System.Web.Razor to 2.0

PS: its System.Web.Razor, I made a mistake earlier

from razorengine.

So are there still no work-arounds or fixes for this issue yet?

I found one! http://stackoverflow.com/a/10936596/165656

@georgiosd does it look like the app.config step is missing from that submission?

from razorengine.

The XML was in the answer but wasn't showing... fixed that :)

I think this problem is becoming more and more pressing, especially with the release of asp.net mvc 4. I've looked into what it'd take to upgrade to the latest version of razor, but I don't have a deep enough understanding of the compiler internals.

I've got most of the unit tests passing, with the exception of the ones that explicitly declare the @model. It looks like this isn't a built in feature for razor and the existing code uses a keyword extension. The problem is that API has completely changed...

I looked through the asp.net mvc code to see how they do it, but I can't find where they're doing it... Any thoughts?

Have you tried posting at the http://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/ forums? The MS folks are usually quite good at engaging with the community.

Time to upgrade RazorEngine to use System.Web.Razor 2.0?

from razorengine.

There is some work to do, as System.Web.Razor v1 and v2 aren't API-compatible, there are some under the hood changes that would break the current version of RazorEngine. I'm investigating either a switch to v2, or looking to provide two versions, one for v1 and v2 compatability.

from razorengine.

Any way to help? Is there a branch of a v2 compatible version of RazorEngine we could use?

from razorengine.

See my SO post above for a temp fix.

from razorengine.

I have an experimental fork of the project that I'm currently using that I've upgraded to v2.

from razorengine.

Hi coxp is your v2 compatible version available at all? Thanks Mark

from razorengine.

just saw this: #71

from razorengine.

Hi,

You can build the dll using my fork but there isn't a NuGet package available. I'm using this in production but YMMV.

https://github.com/coxp/RazorEngine

This is using the Razor 2 dll so you get support for the new features like null attributes.

There are no tests though that's why I haven't made a pull request.

v3.1.0 introduced Razor 2 compatability, available on Nuget.
