Title: ImportFile C# Add-in API GetLastError
Post by: Julian O on June 07, 2016, 12:39:32 am

I am currently on an C# Add-in to import source files (C++) into Enterprise Architect. And my goal is to automate this process as much as possible.

So in order to achieve this I'm calling 'ImportDirectory(...)"-Function on 'Repository.GetProjectInterface();'. When I do this it all imports as expected and if macros are found in code it throws parsing errors. All good.

Now I have to use the 'ImportFile(...)'-Function on the same ProjectInterface, because i need to create some packages first and then import this files into separate packages. And this almost works. The only problem now is if I try to import source code with unknown macros, I expect to get parsing errors or at least retrieve the information somehow. Unfortunately the Import-Function for files does not automatically show a Dialog if an error was found (it only returns false). I tried to get the error message with the 'Repository.GetProjectInterface().GetLastError();'. This does return an empty string.

Is there a way to get the same information about the parsing error as 'ImportDirectory' shows in the dialog?

Really appreciate your help and if you need more information please tell me and I will add missing parts.

I'm afraid you will not be able to get that information. EA is very minimalistic when it comes to error recovery. You might send a bug report or a feature request (both bottom right of this page).

Thank you for your fast reply.

I will do so. Unfortunately I don't think much will happen with a bug report. I already sent some bug reports over the last year, never even got a response  :-\

Well, you should at least get some reference number. Though the progress with those reports are very also in my personal experience.

You might want to check your spam folder as well. I've seen some reports here from people complaining that they never got any emails from Sparx, and a Sparxian confirming that they actually had send out several email to the person in question.

I don't know if it just was a coincidence or the magic of the forum, but I just heard back regarding one of my Bug-reports :)

// edit: And with this I mean that I got the reference number at least.
