Hi Guys, I’ve just uploaded my first set of Grasshopper Components to the Package Manager. This is also my first Plugin compiled using the new Rhino 8 script editor. I made a demo GH file with the components, then un-installed the plugin to see the experience of a user being sent a script with t…

@eirannejad have you seen this thread? Anything I can do to fix this naming issue? Cheers DK

OK, I’ve tried added a Python command “hello world” to the project to see if that fixes the naming issue. Still no dice - if you dont have the plugin installed when you open a GH file the Package Restore still goes looking for the DKUI.Components name. [Screenshot 2025-05-27 125005] HELP PLEASE! …

Everything works as expected if you manually install DKUI from the Package Manager: [Screenshot 2025-05-27 125756] Sample file attached. Cheers DK 250527_DKUI test.gh (7.4 KB)

OK, tried uploading my YAK with the name in a manifest renamed to DKUI.Components - but got a YAK error that the name in the Manifest cannot contain “.” Poking around in the build file I found this in ProjectPlugin_Grasshopper.cs in the source folder: public override string AssemblyName { get;…

Hey Guys, Its been 9 days since I started this thread and I’ve not had a reply from anyone at McNeel on it. Would be great to get a: “Opps yes, thats not right, we’ll look into it” or even: “Nah, we never intended for GH plugins written in GH to be managed by the Package Manager - you’ll need t…

Hi David, I’ve only done the local yak, i’ll try and repeat with your steps later in the day. This has been assigned to Eshan and he should pop his head up soon, he’s been in some deep work this week which is almost ready to commit.

Thanks Japhy, local drag/drop of the YAK file works FINE, the issue comes when sending a GH file that uses the plugin to a user that does not have it installed. The package manager SHOULD find it and install it - but fails due to the names not matching. Cheers DK PS - Actually REALLY happy with …

@kiteboardshaper Hello and sorry for the late reply. I see the problem here is that Yak inside GH1 is looking for the yak plugin based on name of the assembly which is DKUI.Components I created a YT issue to get this fixed ASAP RH-87682 Published gh1 plugin with .Components in its name is not disc…

Thanks I’ll have a look at this @eirannejad - what software do I use to rebuild and repack .cs source? Can that be done in the Script Editor? I do have VS Code and VS on my machine but barely touch them… Cheers DK

@eirannejad thanks for the heads up. I found and opened the .sln file in Visual Studio, then did a find/replace in the whole project - replacing DKUI.Components with DKUI then built for release. The installed the resulting DKUI.GHA, opened my demo, saved it, uninstalled the GHA, opened my demo AND…
