3 Quick Questions about Expansions!

[d.healey]

expHandler.installExpansionFromPackage(hr,test);

Where does test magically appear from?

[A Former User]

@d-healey Sorry that's just a random thing while I was testing. It's:

const var test = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData);    

But it's just made a folder on my desktop instead. Either way I had tried expansionDirectory as well as the constants like FileSystem.Samples to no avail.

Here's a working example. I've already exported the .hr1 file and it contains the info.hxi. It was a bit finicky on my system but that could be because I'm on GNU/Linux. If I tried to run the installer from within the HISE project it didn't work properly, however once I exported to a standalone app (will work with plugin also) the installer worked as it should.

@d-healey Thanks for taking the time to make that, unfortunately it crashes Ableton and the standalone exe doesn't open (eats up 11% CPU). It only works when I comment out

inline function onbtnInstallControl(component, value)
{
    if (value)
    {
        FileSystem.browse("", false, "", function(result)
        {
            hr = result;
	    /*
            FileSystem.browseForDirectory("", function(dir)
            {
                expHandler.installExpansionFromPackage(hr, dir);
            });
            */
        });
    }
};

I'm guessing Windows doesn't like nested file browser functions?

[d.healey]

I've been using this code on Windows in another project. Run a debug in Visual Studio and see what's causing the crash.

@d-healey How does one do this?

Edit: Ok went file -> open solution -> .exe -> debug -> start debug

and got

You need to make a debug build with debug symbols probably

@d-healey as in a debug build of HISE instead of release?

[d.healey]

@iamlamprey A debug build of the project, not HISE.

[A Former User]

@d-healey

Too many arguments in API call FileSystem.browseForDirectory(). Expected: -1

Progress!

[d.healey]

@iamlamprey You sure you're on the latest scriptnode?

[A Former User]

@d-healey I downloaded the latest one from the Scriptnode branch (not the codegen rewrite) last night, but I do have multiple HISE builds...

[d.healey]

@iamlamprey

I do have multiple HISE builds...

Why? Use git.

[A Former User]

@d-healey Never understood how it worked but I guess now's as good a time as any to learn it

@d-healey Oh dude coming in hot with the "here's one i prepared earlier" thanks so much for helping me out again

[A Former User]

@d-healey am I doing something wrong?

It's not automatically switching to the newer branches

[d.healey]

@iamlamprey

It's not automatically switching to the newer branches

Branch switching isn't automatic, you need to use the checkout command to switch to the branch you want.

[A Former User]

@d-healey I did, it's just not in the screenshot

the asterisk is on codegen but the compiled version is missing scriptnode (so it's the master branch from like 16 years ago)

[A Former User]

Ok I deleted the repo and redownloaded it and now it seems to be working :)
