Rhino 8: I get into trouble with the script editor for c# in grasshopper

I always get this error when I change content and compile it in the editor.

Hi @eirannejad , could you help to check on this?

Error info:

Change the default “null” to 1:

Remove the “y” parameter:

I just found out the way to fix that I can get things normal when I unchecked the highlighted box as shown below in grasshopper developer settings.

Hmm very odd! I’ll investigate so see if I can replicate this

Confirmed. When the memory load option is active in Grasshopper Developer Options, the compile breaks. I’ll fix this.

RH-78555 Roslyn does not compile when Memory Load is enabled in GrasshopperDeveloperOptions

@eirannejad we could disable memory load for core GHAs if that helps make things work.

@stevebaer I did fix this issue but it would be nice to know that the loaded core GHAs would have a path in Assembly.Location instead of empty

The only way to do that would be to properly load those GHA files instead of using the memory load feature.

I think we should just load all core GHAs as non-memory load assemblies.

Didn’t do anything for me, scripting component still spitting out errors you showed

I think they are working on the issue. Maybe we will see the update in the next rc.

Had the same, this fixed it! Thanks!

Using version Rhino 8, 8.1.23325.13001
