EA_OnPostNewPackage event triggers three times

[conan]

Hi,

 When I create a package, "EA_OnPostNewPackage" broadcast event is triggering three times, anyone helps me to resolve this?.

thanks

Well, my glas bowl is broken. So a good guess would be: turn off any other add-in that might be in action.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but the same issue is continuing after disabling all other addin too.
Suggest me any other way to resolve this issue.

How about adding a bit more info? "Hey, it's not working" is definitely not enough.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply,

public bool EA_onPostNewPackage(EA.Repository Repository, EA.EventProperties info)
        {
            EA.Package package = Repository.GetPackageByID(info.Get(0).Value);
            System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("package Name:" + package.Name + " package ID:" + package.PackageID  + " Created On" + package.Created);
            return false;
        }
   
Here is My Broadcast event function, I simply added a package in EA, but MessageBox is triggering three times. What will be the issue? Can you suggest to me anyway to resolve this?

You can remember the packageID and make sure to only act on the first instance of the event.

Hi conan,


I see two possible issues here: either EA is calling your Add-In three times, or you have three copies of your Add-In installed.

I'm not sure how well EA's Add-In Manager deals with a situation where you've got different Add-Ins with the same name installed. That could possibly happen, especially if you're uncertain about how exactly the Add-In DLL is installed in Windows, and if it does (and if EA shows only one of them in the Add-In Manager) they would all respond to the event.

Try installing your Add-In on a clean machine, or try creating a completely new Add-In with NOTHING reused from the previous one, and see if that also gets triggered three times.

If EA does trigger your Add-In multiple times, that's a bug in EA that you need to handle along the lines that Geert suggested. You can report it as a bug, but don't expect it to be fixed any time soon.

HTH,

I did what Uffe was talking about: installed my add-in twice (for some reason). And yes, EA calls it twice. So for any registration one time. You should got the way Geert suggests: get a cleans install (VM, another machine), install your add-in as it should be done (once) and see what happens.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your reply, I used package ID and just called for first instance.

Does it show up as two separate Add-Ins in the Add-In Manager? Or is EA confused?

[conan]

Hi,

I didn't installed addin twice but EA calls it twice the EA_OnPostNewPackage event, why the issue is continuing. But I resolved by getting message box ones by logically.

thanks for your reply.

I can confirm this behavior.
I too see this event pop up three times for a single package creation.

You should report this as a bug to Sparx. My experience is a bit different from qwerty's. I did see a number my reported bugs solved in the last few years.

Hi,

Ok, I will Report as a bug to the Sparx community.

thank you.
