Javascript/Typescript script for Command button can't find resources file with text strings in Model-driven app

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Junius01 53

Hello everyone

I have written a Typescript script for a custom command button in the ribbon of a Model-driven app. The button is for the main form of a custom entity named Project.
In this typescript script, I want to access some string data in a resource file.

Resource file looks like:
pastedimage1673960938290v1.png
The file is called eri_strings/eri_scripts.1033.resx

The resource file is added to the solution.

I call this resource file like this:

pastedimage1673960988637v2.png 

However, when I run the script, I get the following error:

pastedimage1673961077610v3.png

The script in the button can't find the resource file.
However, that same resource file is also called in the script of the Account Main Form, using the same code, and there, the file is found. 

Does anyone know why my file isn't found on the command button script, but it is found with the main form of the Account entity?

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

    I found out I need to add a dependency to my javascript script in the solution, so that there is a link between the javascript script and the resource file.

    In my solution in dataverse, I went to the web resources files, selected my script and edited it in classic. There I added the dependency, making sure I changed the filter from javascript to resx files.
