Unable to find assembly registration configuration

(0) Share

Posted on by AKhaing

I'm trying to build to a PAC solution containing a plugin project (created by 'pac plugin init') by following instructions from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/developer/component-framework/import-custom-controls#create-a-plug-in-project-and-add-a-reference-to-it-in-your-solution

But I am getting the following error. It is looking for plugin registration configurations and I certainly did not define them. How do I define assembly registration configuration for the plugin project?

Hi @cakhaing

The build process seems to be using Solution Packager. So, folder structure needs to be in a structure acceptable for Solution Packager.

So, I had to do the below to get this working.
1. Add new node in Solution.xml for the plugin assembly

2. Create the folder structure that matches what you specified in the Solution.xml
3. Below is the xml I used.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <PluginAssembly FullName="pacplugin, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=086a4ebfa030abc1" PluginAssemblyId="f0d86b48-0377-4697-81a0-ee054aa16bff" CustomizationLevel="1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <IsolationMode>2</IsolationMode> <SourceType>0</SourceType> <IntroducedVersion>1.0</IntroducedVersion> <FileName>/PluginAssemblies/pacplugin-f0d86b48-0377-4697-81a0-ee054aa16bff/pacplugin.dll</FileName> <PluginTypes> <PluginType AssemblyQualifiedName="pacplugin, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=086a4ebfa030abc1" PluginTypeId="abfc98bc-f290-4f52-949b-eb37af1c992a" Name="pacplugin.Plugin1"></PluginType> </PluginTypes> </PluginAssembly>

Once I did these steps I was able to build the project.

This process appears to be very clunky at the moment. Maybe it is not meant to be used for general consumption yet.

Hey @rajyraman thanks for sharing what worked for you. Am trying something similar but can't get past the error even after adding the *.dll.data.xml file. Do you mind sharing what exactly did you add in solution.xml. I added a RootComponent for plugin assembly but that doesn't seem to cut it

<RootComponent type="91" id="{57080957-da9b-4002-8972-3f4635ce4e77}" schemaName="AnalogRobotSamplePlugins, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e6c447cca54a5a8f" behavior="0" />

I keep getting the same error, it seems the build task is not able to map dll file with its corresponding configuration file
C:\Users\Saphira\.nuget\packages\microsoft.powerapps.msbuild.solution\1.3.6\build\Microsoft.PowerApps.MSBuild.Solution.targets(104,5): error : Unable to find assembly registration configuration for C:\Users\Saph ira\Developer\code\pacplugin\bin\Debug\net462\pacplugin.dll in the destination: obj\Debug\Metadata\PluginAssemblies [C:\Users\Saphira\Developer\code\pacplugin\solution\solution.cdsproj]
