WSPBuilder (SharePoint WSP tool)

Created Issue: New Web Part Feature should default to site scope [16282]

PerrySharePoint — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:20:47 GMT

* New Web Part Feature should default to site scope

Because web part features have to be site scope, I believe, due to the .webpart file needing to go into the site collection gallery.

New Post: LoadControl and CAS policies

d618uk — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:24:08 GMT

Hi there, we're having the same problem loading .ascx controls from the controltemplates folder, whilst using CAS policies.

I'd like to be able to give WSP builder a <PermissionSet> node.

Have you found any way around this, as it's the same process for 2010 Visual WebParts, as they too use Page.LoadControl.

Thanks,

Nick

New Post: WSPBuilder does not include my assembly in the WSP

ashwnacharya — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:46:46 GMT

I am using WSPBuilder on Visual Studio 2010 to create a feature with a feature receiver assembly for SharePoint 2010. When I try to build the WSP using WSP Builder I get this message in the output window:

    The assembly MyAssembly.dll is unmanaged. The assembly will be excluded from the WSP package!
    The defined Project Assembly seems not to be a valid assembly!
    Solution compatibility: SharePoint 2010

The resulting WSP that gets built does not contain my DLL.

My DLL is strongly named, and I cant think of any other obvious reasons why this is happening.
Any idea why WSPBuilder is not able to package my assembly in the WSP?

Created Issue: Files added several times to solution when using svn [16183]

payamdev — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:18:53 GMT

Subversion creates a folder '.svn' in every folder of the visual studio solution. The files within this folder should be ignored since it will case the deployment to fail. ChrisF has created a solution for this (I have not tested this). Can you please look into this and maybe add this to the new version?

See the solution here http://wspbuilder.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=47485

jthake — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 04:13:30 GMT

I noticed that i you have created a "deployment folder" it will have a cab.dll in that folder in the bin. WSPBuilder then picks up this dll and adds it. You just need to delete that deployment folder. Would be nice if the deployment folder was ignored or created outside of the bin directory?

Yep - for me it was a conflict with the indexing service... turn it off in services and should work.

Created Issue: WSPBuilderExtensions2010 Beta1.4 Stack Overflow Exception [16107]

runxc1 — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:39:37 GMT

When you create a Web Part using 1.4 in Visual Studio 2010 the template for the FeatureDeactivating looks like this

public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
this.FeatureDeactivating(properties);

Which very naturally causes a Stack Overflow exception.

Also on a Side note all of the other Feature Events look like this

public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
{
base.FeatureActivated(properties);

which does not compile as the base method is abstract. The template needs to be blank for the other overridden Feature methods.

New Post: Is there a wiki or any documentation site for WSPBuilder

runxc1 — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 19:07:12 GMT

I am really liking WSPBuilder so far. I am using it with VS 2010 targeting WSS 3.0. I am curious as to whether or not there is any wiki site or official documentation on it out there. I am finding most of what I need via the blogoshpere but was wondering if there is any other additional documentation or places to post lessons learned and not just questions asked such as this :) .

New Post: can manifest.xml be gen'd separately?

wsabey — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 17:08:07 GMT

Taking the AppDev sp 2007 dev course. Granted it was taped in 2008 so it may have been an older version of wspbuilder, but it suggests that by running it in the project directory, you can get the manifest.xml generated. I can extract it from the wsp, but just wondered if there may be a switch to save it separately.

New Post: Linked Files Issue

the_skipster — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:32:11 GMT

It would be greatly beneficial to have an option to use the CSPROJ file. Maybe /UseCSPROJ or something. It already contains a location of the DLL references, as well as the list of files that need to be deployed. It would allow you to also choose which files get deployed, just by including them in the project.

Somebody has a solution for this? I have exactly the same problem on the same machine. If I reset the IIS before attach to process the exception not occurs but breakpoints in workflow designer are not hit. Access denied exception occurs when I run workflow before attach to process :(

New Post: TemplateFile from other Projects within a Solution

Fabian84 — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 18:06:40 GMT

I try to created a Solution with two projects in it in Visual Studio 2008. And make a Reference from the one to the other and when i create the WSP. The second Assembly is copied into the WSP File but not the additional TemplateFile in the 12 Directory of the Second Project.

Is there a way that the Template Files from both Projects are packed into the wsp File?

New Post: WSPBuilder Not Copying Debug Symbols to GAC when Developing Web Part

niceguymattx — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 11:29:43 GMT

Hi all, hope you can help.

I'm developing a web part, which will be linked to a business data web part. I'm trying to get my head around a few things and the debugging would really help. The problem is every time I upgrade the solutions, and/or 'copy to gac', wspbuilder isn't carrying over any debug symbols.

I can get it working if I manually deploy the dll and pdb to the application bin directory, but I'd prefer it if I could use the features in wspbuilder to just deploy it and attach to the debugger. Am I missing a setting or something really obvious. (For info: I'm a 32bit vpc with server 2003 and MOSS 2007).

Any help would be really appreciated.,

Regards

Matt

New Post: WPBuilder conflict with svn

ChrisF — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 03:03:57 GMT

I had the same problem too. I ended up adding a new config entry called Exlcudefolders and also made Excludefiles recognize '?' for files without extensions.

In Keutmann.SharePoint.WSPBuilder.Library.Config.cs:

Added a new constant

public const string EXCLUDEFOLDERS = "Excludefolders";

Added a new field

private List<string> _excludefolders = null;

Added a new property

[DisplayName("-Excludefolders [\"folder1;folder2\"] (Default is empty. Use semicolon as a separator.)")]
[Description("Specifies which folders to exclude and not include in the building process.")]
public List<string> Excludefolders
{
	get
	{
		if (_excludefolders == null)
		{
			string typeString = GetString(EXCLUDEFOLDERS, null);
			List<string> list = new List<string>();
			if (typeString != null)
			{
				string[] folders = typeString.Split(';');
				foreach (string folder in folders)
				{
					list.Add(folder);
				}
			}
				_excludefolders = list;
		}
			return _excludefolders;
	}
	set
	{
		_excludefolders = value;
	}
}

Then in Keutmann.SharePoint.WSPBuilder.Library.FileProvider.cs:

In the method public static List<DirectoryInfo> GetDirectories(DirectoryInfo dirInfo)

//...
foreach (string exludepath in Config.Current.Excludepaths)
{
	if (childDirs.FullName.StartsWith(exludepath, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
	{
		found = true;
		break;
	}
}
// New code start
foreach (string exludeFolder in Config.Current.Excludefolders)
{
	if (childDirs.Name.StartsWith(exludeFolder, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
	{
		found = true;
		break;
	}
}
// New code end
if (!found)
{
	dirs.Add(childDirs);
}
//...

and in the method public static bool IncludeFileExtension(string extension)

if (extension.StartsWith("."))
{
	extension = extension.Substring(1);
}
// New code start
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(extension))
	extension = "?";
// New Code end
bool result = true;
//...

Now I can modify the config file to include

<add key="Excludefiletypes" value="?"/>
<add key="Excludefolders" value=".svn;_svn"/>

Viola, no more subversion files for me.

public const string EXCLUDEFOLDERS = "Excludefolders";

private List<string> _excludefolders = null;

[DisplayName("-Excludefolders [\"folder1;folder2\"] (Default is empty. Use semicolon as a separator.)")]

[Description("Specifies which folders to exclude and not include in the building process.")]

public List<string> Excludefolders

{

get

{

if (_excludefolders == null)

{

string typeString = GetString(EXCLUDEFOLDERS, null);

List<string> list = new List<string>();

if (typeString != null)

{

string[] folders = typeString.Split(';');

foreach (string folder in folders)

{

list.Add(folder);

}

_excludefolders = list;

}

return _excludefolders;

}

set

{

_excludefolders = value;

}
