Worked out a few bugs:
Command class can just be ‘Main’ and it starts the command just fine:
yaml
title: PushIt
tooltip: A rapid layouting extension for Revit
author: "Jan Christel"
highlight: new
context: zero-doc
assembly: 'PushIt'
command_class: 'Main'
Next problem is that this command uses some external references and, when started fails to find them.
Some more googling points towards, I think, 2 solutions:
An assembly resolver or a startup.cs.
I tried the assembly resolver following this link ( last entry)
However I only seem to get this to work when I hard code the path to my /bin directory since the line:
folderPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
Throws an “The path is not of a legal form!” exception
I then tried the startup.cs method:
I placed a starup.cs file in the same directory as my extension:
| - Extensions
| - startup.cs
| - duHast.Extension
this is the content based on this post
foreach (string wbAssembly in new string {
“CsvHelper.dll”,
“LoadingSpinner.dll”,
“Microsoft.Bcl.AsyncInterfaces.dll”,
“Microsoft.Bcl.HashCode.dll”,
“Newtonsoft.Json.dll”,
“RevitUtils.23.0.0.1.dll”,
“System.Buffers.dll”,
“System.Collections.Immutable.dll”,
“System.Memory.dll”,
“System.Numerics.Vectors.dll”,
“System.Reflection.Metadata.dll”,
“System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.dll”,
“System.Threading.Channels.dll”,
“System.Threading.Tasks.Extensions.dll”,
“System.ValueTuple.dll”,
“Utils.23.0.0.1.dll”
})Assembly.Load(File.ReadAllBytes(Path.Combine(BinPath, wbAssembly)));
I feel though like I am missing something: I dont know where and how BinPath gets defined?
