Title: HowTo reload an addin without closing / opening EA
Post by: VaGen on November 19, 2010, 08:45:10 pm

Hello,

In development phase, I have to test several time per days / hours the updated addin. The only way I found so far was to close EA, copy the freshly built dll to the addin deployment directory and open EA.

Since this operation is annoying & time consuming, I was wondering if their is a better way to do this ?

Thanks for your support !

I always write a separate test application that I use to test the functionality of my addin.
I then disable the addin in EA untill my tests are OK, and only after that I test it from within EA.

You could do it like this (http://community.sparxsystems.com/resources/scripts/extending-ea-perl). Have a (almost) static dll which loads addins dynamically.
