PostSharp

[Pierrus]

Hello,

I'm currently encountering a weird issue. I hava a Postharp enabled project, that gets code injected when it gets compiled in Visual Studio 2005. Everything works fine in this case.

However, I'm unable to get it post compiled using command line tool postsharp.exe.

When using Postsharp.exe, I get this message:

PostSharp 1.0 [1.0.7.261] - Copyright (c) Gael Fraiteur and Community, 2005-2007.

info PS0035: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ilasm.exe "E:\Projects\Users\B4All Output\Binaries\B4ALL-Ayamee Debug\Subsonic.il" /QUIET /DLL /DEBUG "/RESOURCE=E:\Projects\Users\B4All Output\Binaries\B4ALL-Ayamee Debug\Subsonic.res" "/OUTPUT=E:\Projects\Users\B4All Output\Binaries\B4ALL-Ayamee Debug\Subsonic_PS.dll" /SUBSYSTEM=3 /FLAGS=1 /BASE=4194304 /STACK=1048576 /ALIGNMENT=4096 /MDV=v2.0.50727

And no aspect is injected in the postsharped dll (library_PS.dll) which has actually the exact same size in KB as the original one (library.dll).

Here is what my .psproj file looks like:

<!-- Default project used when PostSharp is detected according to project references. -->
<Project xmlns="[url=http://schemas.postsharp.org/1.0/configuration]http://schemas.postsharp.org/1.0/configuration[/url]" ReferenceDirectory="{$ReferenceDirectory}">
 
    <!-- Provide internal, unmerged task specification -->
    <TaskType Name="Hmg.Core.Aspects.SelfWeaving.Task.Internal" Implementation="Hmg.Core.Common.Aspects.SelfWeavingTask, Hmg.Core.Common.Aspects">
    <Dependency TaskType="CodeWeaver"/>
    </TaskType>
 
    <!-- Set of tasks -->
    <Tasks>
        <!-- All other tasks should be automatically detected by this one. -->
        <AutoDetect />

        <!-- Compiles back the file. -->
        <Compile TargetFile="{$Output}"
                 IntermediateDirectory="{$IntermediateDirectory}"
                 CleanIntermediate="{$CleanIntermediate}"/>
    </Tasks>
</Project>


Thanks for your help,

Pierre

Hello guys,

Is there anybody out there?

[gfraiteur]

Yes!
It seems the notification system does not work completely...

I will have to get another forum!

I suggest you enable tracing in PostSharp-Library.config:

Trace = true
Trace.AutoDetectTask = true
Trace.ProjectLoader = true

Hello Gael,


I modified PostSharp-Library.config as you told me. Here is the output of the postcompilation process.

Gael,

One more thing. Here is what the command line postcompilation call looks like. Does it appear correct to you?

'C:\Program Files\PostSharp 1.0\PostSharp.exe
 ( "E:\Projects\Users\B4All tools\Ayamee.psproj"
 "E:\Projects\Users\B4ALL output\Binaries\B4ALL-Ayamee\20080109-1300\Subsonic.dll"
 "/p:SearchPath=E:\Projects\Users\B4ALL output\Binaries\B4ALL-Ayamee\20080109-1300"
 "/p:Output=E:\Projects\Users\B4ALL output\Binaries\B4ALL-Ayamee\20080109-1300\Subsonic_PS.dll"
 "/p:IntermediateDirectory=E:\Projects\Users\B4ALL output\Binaries\B4ALL-Ayamee\20080109-1300"
 /p:CleanIntermediate=false
 "/pependenciesDirectory=E:\Projects\Users\B4ALL output\Binaries\B4ALL-Ayamee\20080109-1300")'

No idea. It seems that everything works as it should.
