Category: candle Group: v2.0 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 1 Submitted By: Derek (derekc) Assigned to: Derek (derekc) Summary: Uncaught exception when an extension constructor fails Initial Comment: When an extension is instantiated, it may throw an exception. Currently, this exception is not caught by the wix tools as evidenced by this example: candle.exe : error CNDL0001 : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. Exception Type: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException Stack Trace: at System.RuntimeType.CreateInstanceImpl(Boolean publicOnly) at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type, Boolean nonPublic) at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type) at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Candle.Run(String[] args) in e:\ delivery\Dev\wix\src\candle\candle.cs:line 190 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Derek (derekc) Date: 2006-02-25 22:56 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=518766 Getting a stack trace seems like really useful feedback for debugging exceptions from extensions. Furthermore, I don't think we'd want to put try/catch blocks around every point in wix where we call out to an extension. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1347798&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
