LibGit2Sharp can't find native assembly under PowerShell Core

I maintain a PowerShell module, GitAutomation, that wraps the LibGit2Sharp library. Yesterday, I was trying to get it to run on PowerShell Core. It doesn't seem to work. It is looking for the native git assembly in the LibGit2Sharp.dll assembly's folder instead of the lib/win32/xXX folder, like it does under Windows PowerShell (.NET Framework).

The issue appears to be your check for whether or not you're running under .NET Core. It looks like you're looking for the Mono.Runtime type, which doesn't exist in the version of .NET Core that PowerShell Core is using.

It looks like the current best way to determine if you're running under .NET Core is to use the System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation.FrameworkDescription property, which begins with .NET Framework when running under the .NET Framework and .NET Core when running under .NET Core.

Windows PowerShell:

$ [Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation]::FrameworkDescription
.NET Framework 4.7.3260.0
$ [Mono.Runtime]
Unable to find type [Mono.Runtime].
At line:1 char:1
+ [Mono.Runtime]
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Mono.Runtime:TypeName) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound

PowerShell Core

 $ [Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation]::FrameworkDescription
.NET Core 4.6.26919.02
 $ [Mono.Runtime]
Unable to find type [Mono.Runtime].
At line:1 char:1
+ [Mono.Runtime]
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (Mono.Runtime:TypeName) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : TypeNotFound

Beginne damit, die Laufzeitprüfung und die Auflösung der nativen Assembly im LibGit2Sharp-Quellcode zu finden. Führe die Suche unter PowerShell Core und Windows PowerShell erneut durch und überprüfe anschließend, dass die native Assembly in beiden Umgebungen aus dem Ordner lib/win32/xXX gefunden wird. Als erledigt gilt die Aufgabe, wenn GitAutomation LibGit2Sharp unter PowerShell Core laden kann.
