I’ve released the latest version of my package Crash. As part of the latest release I set up the project to be multi-targeted (net7.0 and net48) and cross-platform (windows and mac).
Confusion & Bugs
After releasing I’ve noticed I have a bug with dotnet core for Rhino 8 Windows (but not mac) and the way it installs confuses me a little.
-
I get an assembly version mismatch with System.Text.Json. Rhino uses 7.0.0 and I used 7.0.3. I can easily downgrade to 7.0.0 but this wasn’t an issue in development. This issue ONLY appears when running Rhino using dotnet core.
This happens when I try and run-JoinSharedModel
-
When I look in the
%appdata%\McNeel\Rhinoceros\packages\8.0\Crash\1.4.2-betadirectory I only see a pile of dlls, I don’t see a net48 and net7.0 directory set, such as I see in the yak package when I build it. How are the two separate folders resolving correctly when smashed together?
Wishes
- If Plugins could use the AssemblyLoadContext as described here for dotnet core, this would resolve my issue, and would prevent other users having this issue too.
- It would be great if the plugin was installed with both frameworks available, not just the one chosen at install time (This may be me mis-understanding things, note point 2 above)
- It would be great if I could specify Rhino versions when using Yak using a command switch. When I use Rhino 7 it will use the installed Version, but Rhino 8 will default to
anyand I’d love to ensure users are using the latest Rhino 8 releases currently.
