Edge with .net core external dll sample required.

[weliwita]

I found this thread useful in this regard. tjanczuk#463. But I could not get this to work after building .net core project and generating .deps file. The electron app crashes as soon as I set EDGE_APP_ROOT to deps file location.
Everything working fine when dotnetcore code running inline with javascript. But I can't get external dotnetcore dll referenced. I couldn't find any step by step documentation or sample app in this regard, except for the thread above.

Here are the steps I followed,

1. Create electron quick start app.
2. Set the global.json to point to preview version of dotnetcore as newer version gave me build errors with electron-edge.

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "1.0.0-preview2-003121"
  }
}

3. Install electron-edge npm install electron-edge
4. Ran helloworld sample. Working fine with dot net framework.
5. set EDGE_USE_CORECLR=1
6. Ran helloworld sample. Working fine with core clr.
7. Create new dotnet core class library project with same sdk version 1.0.0-preview2-003121
8. Added Edge.js nuget

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "buildOptions": {
    "debugType": "portable"
  },
  "dependencies": {},
  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "dependencies": {
        "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
        "type": "platform",
        "version": "1.0.0"
        },
        "Edge.js": "6.5.0"
      }
    }
  }
}

9. With dotnet restore and dotnet build created deps file and the dll
10. When I point the EDGE_APP_ROOT to the debug folder where deps file and dll lives and run my electron app it crashes. Event log has following error.

Faulting application name: electron.exe, version: 1.6.8.0, time stamp: 0x5907b4b0
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 10.0.15063.296, time stamp: 0xa0527b0c

11. The crash happen when I require electron-edge. So it is not something with the javascript code I was using to refer to the dll. Please note I'm also confused how to refer to core dll in the javascript code as well. e.g You map a method in a core dll to a javascript function. Should it be static method or method with special signature like you do in inline c# code?

Please let me know if there is anything wrong with my steps referring my own core dll with edge. If you have a complete working sample it is much appreciated.

i tried to create sample project for last 5 hours .... and failed :( ... see electron-edge-netcore

my guess, why it isnt worknig is because edge custom compilation fails with this error:

im not trying to understand that - not c++ developer ... looks like something not referenced?

i welcome any kick in butt right direction to fix it...

[weliwita]

@CzBuCHi Hi, Frankly I haven't checked your example. But it looks similar to the issue I was resolved using step 2 above. Electron edge was compiled and working fine against 1.0.0-preview2-003121 You may try installing that version and point your sample to that version using a global.json file. But I couldn't get it to work referencing external core dll.

[CzBuCHi]

@weliwita I didnt have installed c++ compiler in visual studio 2017 and thats why i got these unresolved symbols .... after that edge compiles file (only warnings)

Tried basic ES5 'Hello world' example, and in .net 4 works fine, but in .net core it throws edge.initializeClrFunc is not a function again :( - in my case object 'edge' has no own members ...

i think i just wait a while and see ...

[weliwita]

Ok, One step further. I was able to get away with referencing core dlls issue. I removed edge.js dependency and referenced the dll as follows.
project.json

{
  "version": "1.0.0-*",
  "buildOptions": {
    "debugType": "portable",
    "emitEntryPoint": true
  },
  "dependencies": {},
  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "dependencies": {
        "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
          "type": "platform",
          "version": "1.0.0"
        }
      },
      "imports": "dnxcore50"
    }
  }
}

Map js function to the external dll

var helloWorld = edge.func({
  assemblyFile: path.join(__dirname, 'path-to-dll\\bin\\Debug\\netcoreapp1.0\\dotnets.dll'),
  typeName: 'Startup'
});

My Startup class in dotnets.dll looks like follows.

Startup.cs

using System.Threading.Tasks;

public class Startup
{
    public async Task<object> Invoke(object input)
    {
        return "Hello from core";
    }
}

I will try to add a git hub link as soon as I can assemble this to properly.

[weliwita]

@CzBuCHi ok I agree with you. If you don't want to downgrade to a preview version of dotnet core, I think you should wait for someone from this project to respond.
