Upgrading to version 4.20.1 breaks the build

[spewu]

Hi there

I just upgraded our solution to the latest version of Moq (v. 4.20.1), and now all of our test projects fail to build on my Mac. I get this exception:

Analyzer 'Moq.SponsorLinker' threw an exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' with message 'Access to the path '/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/7.0.302/Roslyn/bincore/%TEMP%\1M5Ot' is denied.'.

Looks like this was made for Windows, as %TEMP% looks like a Windows environment variable, which does not work on macOS.

Have to downgrade to 4.18.4 to get the build working again.

Hope you can look into this 🙂

My team and I have the same. It seems related to #1363. Though it does not break the build because it's just a warning, it creates unnecessary files and creates unnecessary build warnings. So if you're like our team and fail a build when there's a build warning, Sponsorlink effectively breaks the build.

it is also creating rogue files/directories on macos, to wit: "%TEMP%\1M5Ot/"

Uh... that's weird. I'm pretty sure I tested it on Linux and it worked, assumed it would on MacOS. I'll revert it. This is a blocker.

Just to be precise: It also breaks on my Linux (Mint/Ubuntu), with rogue files in %TEMP%\\1M5Ot. So not just MacOs ;)

Dang, Linux too?! I guess WSL lied to me then, he.
