Refit Update package on Xamarin

Question

I've just updated a Xamarin solution using the refit package (2.3.0. -> 2.4.1) and now the build is complaining:

RefitStubs.g.cs(37,27): error CS0102: The type `Sample.App.Api' already contains a definition for `Client'
    RefitStubs.cs(37,27): (Location of the symbol related to previous error)

I've tried reverting the package version but same error occurs. I've cleaned the solution but still the same issue

I've had related problems from the *.g.cs generated files... I do not know why the file is not overwritten sometimes during a (Re)Build All, but in other's projects that I've seen, make sure that you do not have a reference to the generated file itself within your project (.csproj) which sometimes happens when you are debugging into the *.g.cs file.

Also Clean All does not remove the Refit build task generated file RefitStubs.g.cs (or RefitParams.rsp) from the obj directory.

Try deleting the obj directory and perform a (Re)Build All again to see if that helps.

After (Re)Build All:

obj/ > ls -1
RefitParams.rsp
RefitStubs.g.cs
refit-test.csproj.FilesWrittenAbsolute.txt
refit-test.exe
refit-test.exe.mdb

After Clean All:

obj/ > la -1
RefitParams.rsp
RefitStubs.g.cs

Look if you have a refitStubs.cs file in your project root and remove it. Worked for me ;)

Sorted by resorting back to the previous version of Refit

Like @cristianomad stated, this occurs due to the fact that Refit moved from using RefitStubs.cs which is public -to- RefitStubs.g.cs which is located in the /obj folder, therefore generating the same classes in the two files.

Simply remove the old RefitStubs.cs file and you´d be good to go.
