Expansion not working

[daniloprates]

I've followed @d-healey's video, both manual and automatic's way of creating an expansion, but they are never listed.

Found this in my project_info.xml:

<ExpansionType value="Disabled"/>

and changed to

<ExpansionType value="Files Only"/>

but it didn't work

[daniloprates]

My code:

Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 600);

const var expHandler = Engine.createExpansionHandler();

expHandler.setAllowedExpansionTypes([
	expHandler.FileBased, 
	expHandler.Intermediate, 
	expHandler.Encrypted
]);

expHandler.refreshExpansions();

const expList = Engine.getExpansionList();

Console.print(trace(expList));

My video on the subject is out of date now. The documentation is quite complete though though:

https://docs.hise.dev/working-with-hise/project-management/expansions/encrypted_expansion.html

Nothing I did worked...

[d.healey]

@daniloprates What else have you done?

[daniloprates]

@d-healey

Here's my code:

Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 600);

const var expHandler = Engine.createExpansionHandler();

expHandler.setAllowedExpansionTypes([expHandler.FileBased, 
                                     expHandler.Intermediate, 
                                     expHandler.Encrypted]);


const expList = Engine.getExpansionList();

Console.print(trace(expList));

The file structure:

And the expansion_info.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<ExpansionSettings
    Name="Test Expansion"
    version="1.0.0"
    ProjectName="test-expansion"
/>

[d.healey]

@daniloprates Have you set the expansion type in project preferences?

[daniloprates]

@d-healey here's the relevant part of project_info.xml:

  <ExpansionType value="FileBased"/>
  <EncryptionKey value=""/>
  <LinkExpansionsToProject value="Yes"/>

[daniloprates]

@d-healey also tried <ExpansionType value="Files Only"/>

[d.healey]

@daniloprates Send me the project, without the Samples.

[daniloprates]

@d-healey I've created an empty test project:

Can we (the community lol) get a nice template of this working to look at

[d.healey]

@daniloprates The project works, once I copied in your code and set the expansion type in project preferences to FileOnly

[daniloprates]

No luck for me. What version of HISE are you using?

[daniloprates]

@d-healey <ExpansionType value="FileOnly"/>?

[d.healey]

@daniloprates set it in project preferences, don't edit the xml directly. I'm using a recent version of the develop branch. What are you expecting to see with your console print?

[daniloprates]

@d-healey this was the problem, I was editing the XML file manually. It's working now.

Thanks so much!
