Cannot find embedded resource assembly named Yahoo.Yui.Compressor.Resources.Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll

Question

I am using throughout my NopCommerce website a component called BundleTransformer which extends the 'bundling' feature of MVC4. It uses another component called Yahoo.Yui.Compressing to transform and compress javascript files. All is working fine. JS files are compressed and bundled as expected.

However, there seems to be an issue with AntiForgeryToken. In my registration page, I added this simple line inside my form:

@Html.AntiForgeryToken()

This seems to conflict with Yahoo.Yui.Compressing. The error message I am getting is here below:

Cannot find embedded resource assembly named Yahoo.Yui.Compressor.Resources.Microsoft.IdentityModel.dll

Does anyone know the solution?

It seems to be a bug somewhere between Yahoo.Yui.Compressor, BundleTransformer or the AntiForgeryToken.

Answer 1

Upgrading to BundleTransformer 1.6.6 solves the problem.

There was a problem with BundleTransformer 1.6.5 and YUI Compressor .NET 2.1.0.0 that was fixed in the last release (See Taritsyn comment on http://bundletransformer.codeplex.com/discussions/398013/)
