With the MimeKitLite NuGet include I am no longer able to use MailKit library #542

@sprudel79 commented on GitHub (Aug 10, 2023):

Thank you very much @StefH for proposing potential solutions. Indeed a docker based approach might help in this case, however it would also add more complexity to my CI/CD process. Right now I have reverted my code to use an older version of WireMock.Net and I don't have any pressure to adjust anything.
Btw. you mention version 1.5.33 which is also shown on the release page, however on nuget there's no 1.5.33 version but 1.5.34.

I unlisted that version because it introduced issues for users.

Did you fix it using alias?

Hi @StefH, I am on vacation right now and will be back on that project beginning of September...I'll let you know, thanks.

Hi @StefH ,
here's the code that works:

In the csproj file I have these references:

 <PackageReference Include="MailKit" Version="4.1.0" />
 <PackageReference Include="MimeKit" Version="4.1.0">
   <Aliases>MimeKitAlias</Aliases>
 </PackageReference>
 <PackageReference Include="WireMock.Net" Version="1.5.35" />

I had to add a reference to MimeKit directly since I was not able to get things working with an alias for MailKit directly.

Next in my C# code I have these lines:

extern alias MimeKitAlias;

namespace MyNamespace
{
    public class MyClass
    {
        public void MyMethod()
        {
            var mail = new MimeKitAlias::MimeKit.MimeMessage();           
        }
    } 
}

At least I am able to build my code now without getting the error I had mentioned on top.
However, it's still cumbersome because e.g. in my VSCode environment I see

with the error:
The type or namespace name 'MimeKit' does not exist in the namespace 'MimeKitAlias', so it seems the Omnisharp C# plugin is not able to handle the alias properly and consequentially there's no intellisense anymore.
What do you think?

Thanks for the research.

I was wondering, will this fix also work the other way around, so if I define that Alias in the code from WireMock?

Thanks to you for taking this up.
I am not sure if this helps, is there any API in WireMock.Net that exposes any type of MimeKit (which I doubt)?
We can definitely give this a try if you like, I can test this approach from my side.

No, as far as I can see, I don't expose MimeKit in an api.

Can you try preview 1.5.35-ci-17784 ?

Thank you very much @StefH, I have updated my environment to use the preview version of WireMock.Net. Furthermore I have removed my local alias handling.
Unfortunately I get again the error from my first post about "The type 'MimeMessage' exists in both...".

In that case there is no solution (yet) in WireMock, so I'll create a wiki page from this issue and close it.
