Cannot run `Jenny.exe gen` on pure C# project

[charlieamer]

Hi,

I tried to use Roslyn compiler on my new C# pure project, and I wasn't able to run Jenny.exe gen (i've got properly configured Jenny.properties file, as well as properly configured .csproj). I also couldn't run it using the tutorial that was provided for Entitas Pure. (so in order to reproduce the issue, just follow the tutorial on a Windows machine. Instead of mono Jenny.exe simply use Jenny.exe).

I got Jenny.zip today from Unity asset store. The version is 1.12.2.

The error that pops in the terminal is: Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

I managed to run Jenny.exe gen as a debug target in visual studio, to extract LoaderExceptions property, and here are the details

I am trying to do this on Windows 10 machine.

EDIT: If I try to follow the tutorial, but don't enable roslyn plugin when asked, Jenny.exe gen runs without a problem.

@charlieamer if you're on windows you can run Jenny.exe directly. You only need to use mono if you're on macOS.

You can append -v to any command to get verbose output e.g.

./Jenny/Jenny.exe gen -v

[sschmid]

when you run Jenny.exe without any parameters it will start the jenny wizard which helps you generate a proper Jenny.properties file. Usually that helps when there are any issues

Running Jenny.exe doctor or Jenny.exe gen yields the same error. I run clean Jenny.exe (without any params) on both my own project I am trying to use, and in a clean project (created by following the tutorial from the link I provided in issue description), and I still get the error. In 2 days I will try Mono for windows, maybe that could help ? And try to run Jenny.exe with mono ?

Here is a full output of what I get when I run Jenny.exe gen -v:

@sschmid After installing Mono for Windows I have managed to get it to work (after a bit of hacking).

First when I installed it and run mono ..\Jenny\Jenny.exe on my project, after i selected which plugins I want, I was presented with the following error: Could not load type of field 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.SQLite.Interop.SqlConnection:_handle' (0) due to: Could not load file or assembly 'SQLitePCLRaw.core, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1488e028ca7ab535' or one of its dependencies.

The solution was a bit boring, I had to install the package "SQLitePCLRaw.core" in a dummy c# project, went to package files and found a SQLitePCLRaw.core.dll file, and copied the file to the same directory as where Jenny.exe resides. That made it work and it finally works like a charm (for mono ..\Jenny\Jenny.exe).

My advice: you should pack Jenny.zip with SQLitePCLRaw.core.dll pre-packaged, so that it works out of the box for third-party installed mono. You should also look into the error I mentioned above for default .NET support on windows, and see why exactly it fails, and can it be fixed. I don't think I should close the issue as this wasn't solved for me without using mono (I wasn't able to run Jenny.exe gen even after I copied SQLitePCLRaw.core.dll to Jenny directory, I still got the same error as mentioned above).

follow @charlieamer , I use mono to run jenny.exe and modify Entitas.CodeGeneration.Plugins.Assemblies = Library/ScriptAssemblies/Assembly-CSharp.dll to project dll path in bin/Debug/{.netversion}/{dllname}.dll it works for me

EntitasPure has been renamed to Entitas-Standalone and is updated to .NET 6.0 and using nuget. You can now generate using dotnet. Please see: Entitas-Standalone
