Custom extension not loading after update

Besides the switch to MSVC 2017, is there any reason why a custom extension of mine would stop loading as of the recent OxideMod release? I have an extension DLL that's been loading fine, patch after patch from Oxide, without being recompiled that now doesn't load. Is that because I need to go forward and re-compile it with MSVC 2017 (It was last compiled with MSVC 2015)? Or is there a more structural change needed for my custom DLL extension to work with newer OxideMod build?

 

Code:

20:01 [Info] AutoGrades, CopyPaste and EnhancedHammer were compiled successfully in 2796ms
20:01 [Error] Error while compiling: MyPlug.cs(18,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `MyExt' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

I've got a plugin that instantiates something I created in an extension to get outside of the sandbox. Originally, I used the MySQL extension as a scaffolding to create mine although it has nothing to do with MySQL. If you want me to first just move my extension project over to MSVC 2017, I will. But I do know it was working for a couple of weeks now past when I saw you mention switching to MSVC 2017 on your side. I haven't recompiled this thing on my end for a at least a month. Thanks for any help

 

The plugin is really a universal stub to get to the extension from other plugins. I was preparing to make it more universal directly from the extension and not need this universal stub. I read through most of the OxideMod code and saw how I could do better than just copying the MySQL way of requiring a plugin to instantiate it before using it. The original design is from about a year ago and likely wasn't super perfect at the time, but worked well enough for me to proceed. Here's the plugin

Code:

namespace Oxide.Plugins
{
    [Info("MyExtUniversal", "Kolyma", "1.0")]
    class MyExtUniversal : CovalencePlugin
    {
        private MyExt ext;        private void Init()
        {
            ext = new MyExt();
        }

And a piece of the extension:

Code:

using Oxide.Core;
using Oxide.Core.Extensions;namespace Oxide.Ext.MyExt
{
    public class MyExtExtension : Extension
    {
        public override string Name => "MyExt";        public override VersionNumber Version => new VersionNumber(1, 0, 0);        public override string Author => "Kolyma";        private Libraries.MyExt MyExt;        public MyExtExtension(ExtensionManager manager) : base(manager)
        {
        }        public override void Load() => Manager.RegisterLibrary("MyExt", MyExt = new Libraries.MyExt());        public override void LoadPluginWatchers(string pluginDirectory)
        {
        }        public override void OnModLoad()
        {
        }
    }
}

The starting area of the other file from the extension:

Code:

namespace Oxide.Ext.MyExt.Libraries {    public class MyExt : Library {

Of course there's a lot more in that file.

 

Oh I should have included the top of the plugin. I already had the using statement:

Code:

using Network;
using System;
using Oxide.Ext.MyExt.Libraries;
using Oxide.Core.Libraries;namespace Oxide.Plugins
{
    [Info("MyExtUniversal", "Kolyma", "1.0")]
    class MyExtUniversal : CovalencePlugin
    {

I updated my dev environment to MSVC 2017, moved my extension over, adjusted the assembly references and got it to build using the newer OxideMod sources. Still no joy. Back when it worked, I would see my extension report in during the server boot, but not now even though it's in the directory:

Code:

I suppose I need to read through the updated OxideMod sources and see how you're loading extensions now. Mine ends up being named Oxide.Ext.MyExt.dll which used to load OK, even past the time when you stopped calling the other core extensions by that Oxide.Ext.MySql.dll naming convention and moved to Oxide.Core.MySql.dll

 

Code:

Ignored unnecessary '// Reference: Oxide.Ext.MyExt' in plugin 'MyExtUniversal'
Error while compiling: 'MyExtUniversal.cs(20,17): error CS0246: The type or names
pace name `MyExt' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

The second message of course is one I've been getting all along

 

MyExt extension loads now but new errors in plugin section

Seems like same results.

Let me wipe & reinstall this server real quick to confirm a clean install does the same

 

yes, the plugins are in \rustds\oxide\plugins . I thought that's where they were kept now after being moved out of the server instance-specific folders

 

Gimme a couple of minutes and I'll have a blank server with released oxidemod on it and I'll test your test dll again. Thanks for helping.
[DOUBLEPOST=1508565688][/DOUBLEPOST]OK, clean install server DOES load the MyExt extension WITHOUT using your custom dll posted here, so that's a big WTF on my end. Guess then endless series of patches on that server install had something messed up. I should have tried clean install earlier, but when I first noticed it, I had already seen the same problem on 2 other test and 1 production server.

UPDATE:
So I've confirmed twice, with a clean install and released version of OxideMod, my extension does load, and all the other plugins load without error or "multiple" messages. But I still get:

Code:

Ignored unnecessary '// Reference: Oxide.Ext.MyExt' in plugin 'MyExtUniversal'
Error while compiling: MyExtUniversal.cs(20,17): error CS0246: The type or names
pace name `MyExt' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

UPDATE2:
I went back to figure out last OxideMod version that works..... 2.0.3591 anything newer than that causes this error for me. Guess I'll continue chasing this problem tomorrow.

 

Oxide is ignoring more references than it should right now.

Compiles on this version


The takeaway here is that both references (Oxide.Core.MySql and Oxide.MySql) are ignored in later versions.

 

Mine does, custom rewrite too as the public one does not track/remove timers properly once a door is closed then re-opened (as seen on the Rusty servers, haven't bothered to check other servers). Plugin fails to compile using MySql with most recent build.

Using/References

Code:

// Reference: Oxide.MySql
// Reference: Oxide.Core.MySql
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Oxide.Core;          //Access to Interface class
using Oxide.Core.Database; //Access to Connection class

Inside of the plugin

Code:

private readonly Oxide.Core.MySql.Libraries.MySql _MySql = Interface.Oxide.GetLibrary<Oxide.Core.MySql.Libraries.MySql>();
internal Connection _Connection;
