#57 Pipistrelle loses Native DLL settings from FCS file

[John Barnes]

This problem seen while building a composition using .omi and .fcs files (attached) generated by Component Builder for the FORTRAN implementation of the Pond tutorial example.

To reproduce the problem:

• start Pipistrelle and add the component using the attach .omi file
• right-click on the CB_Pond component and click on Properties...

The attached screenshot shows the NativeDll value is missing.

[John Barnes]

As a workaround I have made changes to BaseComponentWithEngine.UseNativeDll, at line 22 so that the field is initialised when the property is set true:

Arguments.Add(new ArgumentNativeDll(GetArgumentIdentity(ArgsWithEngine.NativeDll),
new ParametersNativeDll(EngineType,
ParametersNativeDll.Interface.FluidEarth2_Sdk_Interfaces_IEngineTime,
null, false)));

Opinions on whether this is an appropriate fix would be welcome.

[John Barnes]

Non-default settings of other arguments (e.g. the Caption argument) are also not conveyed from the .fcs file.

As a workaround, I added these lines at line 486 of composition.cs:

var nativeDllArgValue = component.Arguments.Where(a => a.Id.Contains("NativeDll")).Select(a => a.ValueAsString).FirstOrDefault();

if (!Omi.Component.OmiArgumentValuesSet(component, omiArgs, componentAccessor, reports))
return false;

if (nativeDllArgValue != null)
{
var nativeDllArg = component.Arguments.Where(a => a.Id.Contains("NativeDll")).Select(a => a).Single();
nativeDllArg.ValueAsString = nativeDllArgValue;
}

I get a different display due partly to the 5 warnings when loading the OMI into the composition - the warnings are as follows (I guess it's because it can't find the relevant assembly?)

I get the same warnings as you and just ignore them - they are related to the way the Component is initialised. I don't get the errors in loading Pipistrelle extensions (but don't think they are relevant). I have copied the session log below.

What does the Properties display look like for your?
