Invalid nuget package dependency on MaterialDesignColors >= 1.1.0

See original GitHub issue

Environment: Visual Studio Community 2017 Version 15.8.9

I am creating a simple WPF app following Getting Starting guide. I reference the MaterialDesignThemes nuget package which is 2.5.0.1205 It has a dependency MaterialDesignColors (>= 1.1.0)

So Visual Studio pulls MaterialDesignColors automatticaly and it is 1.1.0 which has no resources mentioned in the Getting Starting guide. There are no Themes/Recommended/Primary/... or Themes/Recommended/Accent/... resources.

Referencing manually MaterialDesignColors 1.1.3 solves the problem.

I can not reproduce this at my work station with VS 2017 Profesional Version 15.8.5 I will need some time to reproduce at home with Community Edition. I consider it is a VS issue. Will be back with details.

The issue is simple, it’s just a nuspec problem. MaterialDesignThemes 2.5.x depends on version 1.1.0 of MaterialDesignColors but the previous version 2.4.x on version 1.1.2. And theses files are missing in the 1.1.0 version. So if you use the new csproj you only reference MaterialDesignThemes and the system automaticaly reference the version 1.1.0 of MaterialDesignColors that is too old. As library consummer you can fix the problem in installing directly the last version of MaterialDesignColors package. As library developper you can fix it directly in the nuspec.

Before : Dependency 1.1.2 https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit/blob/e9200ba3d6cb1f24a679d7f0429b925caaf93eac/MaterialDesignThemes.nuspec

After : Dependency 1.1.* so 1.1.0 by default for nuget https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit/blob/9fa6c45bf4a63631a8acd0a61d70b04fe446f08b/MaterialDesignThemes.nuspec
