SolutionPackager expecting Web Resources with no extension

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I'm looking to move over to use the SolutionPackager with my Visual Studio solution. The unique name for the webresource does not have an extension e.g. xxx_mywebresource. When adding this to the VS solution it automatically adds the extension to the local file (e.g. xxx_mywebresource.js, which is what I want as VS will know what file type it is).

However, when trying to pack a solution using this web resource it complains saying it can't find xxx_mywebresource as the file is actually called xxx_mywebresource.js.

Is it possible to add this to the map? I would like to keep the extension of the file in VS and solve this issue at the SolutionPackager side.

 

Thanks

    Hi,

    As long as the file does not match the unique name in your solution, the solutionpackager will have an issue. As you wish to keep the extension of the file in VS (which you should), you should update your solution in CRM to match the file name in Visual Studio. The right way will be to remove the exisiting file and upload the new one..

    Hi Ronald,

    Was hoping I didn't have to do this! Is there an easy way to resolve the dependencies? I've got about 30 js files that are referenced by forms, so in addition to adding the new ones I'll have to add them to the forms as well.

    Thanks

    The easiest way to resolve dependencies is to browse to the web resource and hit the ribbon button 'Show dependencies'.

    Otherwise browse to:

    yourorg.yourserver.com/main.aspx;id=%7b[guid]%7d&pagetype=webresourceedit

    where you replace [guid] with the guid of your javascript web resource.

    It takes some time to get this changed, but you'll enjoy the benefits of being able to use the solutionpackager!

    Good luck,

    Ronald
