Using a frameworkz reference with the .core compiler

Elements EBuild

Hi,
When building the attached using the .core version of the compiler

App5.zip (641.7 KB)

I get

Based on this

It doesnt seem to be supported on .net core

E: There was a problem obtaining remote project 'github.com/mosh/ImportSolution/PureLayout.elements:*' referenced from 'App5'.

can I get a test case that doesn’t involve remote projects? (or at least a working one :wink:

5

Strange, it should be a public repo
zip.zip (245.3 KB)

6

That one doesnt seem to have any .frameworkz references

Can I just get a simple self-contained test case?

I noticed it doesnt need references. I get this

If you build

Ah yeah, its creating the .frameworkz that fails, not extracting it. reproduced and will investigate.

9

Ah yes. like everything on .NET Core, this needs a separate package to be explicitly referenced and registered to get functionality that was commonly available everywhere in classic .NET. Should be fixed, pending testing when I have a new build.

10

Thanks. Are you going to use System.IO.Compression.ZipFile ?

11

Not for now, I simply #ifdef’ed it to use a new way to obtain the IBM347 encoding, in all places that use it:

      #if NETCOREAPP || NETSTANDARD
        public readonly static System.Text.Encoding IBM437Encoding = System.Text.CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance.GetEncoding("IBM437");
        #else
        public readonly static System.Text.Encoding IBM437Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("IBM437");
        #endif

        public readonly static System.Text.Encoding DefaultEncoding = ZipFile.IBM437Encoding;

If that doesn’t work, I might look at porting to System.IO.Compression.ZipFile, but there are a few places that use the Ionic.Zip AIs directly, I’m afraid (rather than a platform-specific abstraction as some other places already do), so this would mean rewriting/retesting several places that work with zip files — and i don’t reallyfeel like doing that now, if i don’t need to.

Seems to work.

bugs://E26205 was closed as fixed.

14

Great. There is a build coming ?

15

I tested with the last build from yesterday.

Thanks, that worked.

On ios projects it seems like a huge improvement. A full rebuild on my biggest project goes from 9 minutes to 3

17

Wow. just by switching from (I assume you’re on Mac) Mono to .NET Core?

18

Yes. Its an m1 mac.

19

That is impressive…
