NETCore - Move Runtime Files to custom Subfolder doesn't work about cefsharp HOT 4 CLOSED

P.S.: I am aware there is another discussion on a similar topic, but it is about AnyCPU there and has nothing to do with publishing, as I understand it. Anyways, I tried everything here too and nothing solves it.

from cefsharp.

Just to be totally sure, I just tried again with the CefSharp.MinimalExample, the only change that was made was

<TargetFrameworks>net8.0-windows</TargetFrameworks>

And after publish as self-contained, the files are all in the root again.

Formerly we had CefSharpTargetDir, but that doesnt seem to do anything anymore. Having a functionality like that again would be ideal.

CefSharpTargetDir is not supported by the NETCore packages. The packages use Architecture-specific folders to comply with the nuspec standard.

For the assets to be correctly added to the .deps.json file we need to rely on the built in behaviour. Support for copying to a sub folder is not something we can add specifically to the packages, you'll need to rely on solutions provided by Microsoft (Or one of the third party hacks).

And after publish as self-contained, the files are all in the root again.

This is the expected behaviour.

NuGet/Home#5986 (comment) has some suggestions on workarounds. There's another issue also that discusses the options, I just don't remember the URL at the moment.

I think I tried all (reasonable) combination of these settings and the only thing that ever happens is the runtimes part during compilation.

Rather than guessing, I'd suggest reviewing the https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/blob/master/NuGet/PackageReference/CefSharp.Common.NETCore.targets file to see what customisations are actually supported.

Closing as this is not something we can add direct support for.

I know the referenced Nuget issue, and already feared it would come down to this (managing every single file myself, which completely defeats the purpose of a "package manager" :-)
Atm I am having so many problems with CefSharp (esp the HW-acceleration part interferes massively with multiple other packages) that I am tyring to switch to WebView2, which I really dont like, but it seems CefSharp simply doesnt work anymore in this use case.
Another way would be to switch back to CefSharp.WinForms (without the netcore) since it worked perfectly back then.
Anyways, thanks again for the library 👍
