PostSharp

[louis210]

I was pulled away briefly from the tracing aspect of my project, but am finally able to try out what you posted.

I downloaded the code with SVN and built the project. I have a directory
C:\Program Files\PostSharp 1.0\ASP.Net Test\PostSharp.AspNet\bin\Debug
that contains PostSharp.AspNet.dll and its corresponding pdb file.

I opened the test website (PostSharp.AspNet.Test) in VS2005 and changed the following in web.config:

• <postsharp directory="C:\Program Files\PostSharp 1.0\ASP.Net Test\PostSharp.AspNet\bin\Debug" trace="true">
  
• <add name="laos-weaver" value="C:\Program Files\PostSharp 1.0"/>
  
• (replaced ISymWrapper reference with)
  <add assembly="PostSharp.Laos, Version=1.0.8.316, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B13FD38B8F9C99D7"/>
  <add assembly="PostSharp.Public, Version=1.0.8.316, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B13FD38B8F9C99D7"/>

and left everything else the same. However, when I try to build the website, I get the following error:

Could not load file or assembly 'PostSharp.AspNet' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. C:\Program Files\PostSharp 1.0\ASP.Net Test\PostSharp.AspNet.Test\Web.config 31

(where line 31 contains the assemblyPostProcessorType declaration).

Any thoughts?

Thank you,
Louis

First, you should use:

Code: Select all

<postsharp directory="C:\Program Files\PostSharp 1.0" trace="true">
...


That is, give the directory containing the file postsharp.exe.

Then (and this is your current problem), you should copy PostSharp.AspNet.dll to the "bin" folder of your web app.

The line

Code: Select all

<add name="laos-weaver" value="C:\Program Files\PostSharp 1.0"/>

is useless since the directory containing postsharp.exe is already a part of the search path.

I hope this helped,

Gael

Fantastic! It looks to be working very well.

Thank you for all your help.

In case anyone is interested in a manual (command-line) process, here is one approach:

In VS2005:

• Right-click on your website project (e.g. http://localhost/myproject) and choose "Publish Web Site"
• Uncheck "Allow this precompiled site to be updatable"
• Check "Use fixed naming and single page assemblies"
• Note the Target Location (e.g C:\Dev\MyProject\Compiled).
• Click ok to publish the website to that directory.

At the command line:

• Create a batch file called PSHelper.cmd one level above the Target Location (in this example, C:\Dev\MyProject) and add the following code. Set the local environment variables as you choose.
  
  

  Code: Select all

  @echo off
setlocal

set PostSharp="C:\Program Files\PostSharp 1.0\PostSharp.exe"
set DefaultProj="C:\Program Files\PostSharp 1.0\Default.psproj"
set OutputFile="C:\Temp\PostSharpOutput.txt"
set TempDir=C:\Temp\PostSharp\
set DefaultParms=/SkipAutoUpdate /P:IntermediateDirectory=%TempDir% /P:CleanIntermediate=False /P:SignAssembly=False /P:PrivateKeyLocation=.


echo Processing "%~1".

echo. >> %OutputFile%
echo Processing "%~1". >> %OutputFile%
echo. >> %OutputFile%
%PostSharp% %DefaultProj% "%~1" /P:Output="%~2" /P:SearchPath=. %DefaultParms% >> %OutputFile%
mv "%~2" "%~1" /Y


• Create another batch file called PS.cmd at the same level as PSHelper and add the following code to it:
  

  Code: Select all

  @echo off

setlocal
set OutputFile="C:\Temp\PostSharpOutput.txt"

echo Beginning PostSharp processing. > %OutputFile%

if not exist "Compiled\bin\App_Code.dll" goto ProcessPageDLLs

:ProcessApp_CodeDLL
echo.
echo ** App_Code DLL:
echo.
call PSHelper "Compiled\bin\App_Code.dll" "Compiled\bin\App_Code.dll.ps.dll"


:ProcessPageDLLs
echo.
echo ** Page-specific DLLs:
echo.
for %%x in (Compiled\bin\*.aspx.*.dll) do @call PSHelper "%%x" "%%x.ps.dll"

echo. >> %OutputFile%
echo PostSharp processing complete. >> %OutputFile%

:ViewResults
%OutputFile%

:End
echo.
pause
echo.


• Run PS.cmd. It will process all the DLLs and log its output to C:\Temp\PostSharpOutput.txt.

If you want to PostSharp a single file, just use PSHelper by itself and just specify the path to the file to be processed.

Enjoy!
Louis
