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

Thanks so much!

@d-healey worked like a charm. Many thanks!

@d-healey yes, that's what was missing.

Thanks so much!

@dannytaurus I've mapped CAPS LOCK to trigger the F5 key (via Karabiner)

Great, thanks a lot, guys!

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

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

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

test-expansion.zip

Shared with Dropbox

Dropbox (www.dropbox.com)

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

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

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

@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"
/>

Nothing I did worked...

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));

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
