I've been working on an internal extension for some time to improve the functionality for our staff. While attempting to implement an "IDynamicSessionEventTrigger" (or "DynamicSessionEventTriggerDefinition") I have not been having success I believe I am implementing it correctly, no errors or warnings. The issue is that no events are causing the function to fire. I've tested this by simply trying to write to a file (a script which is confirmed working in various other parts), but on no event/actions does this happen. Here's some of my code stripped down (also tested) Manifest.xml Quote:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <ExtensionManifest> <Version>1</Version> <Name>Internal Extension</Name> <Author>Internal</Author> <ShortDescription>Description</ShortDescription> <Components> <WebServiceReference SourceFile="Service.ashx" /> <DynamicSessionEventTriggerDefinition SourceFile="SessionEventTrigger.cs" /> <WebResourcesDefinition SourceFile="Web.en-US.resx" /> <ClientScriptInitializer SourceFile="Initializer.js" /> </Components> </ExtensionManifest> SessionEventTrigger.cs Quote:using ...(various);
using Newtonsoft.Json;
public class SessionEventTriggerAccessor : IDynamicSessionEventTrigger
{
public void DebugToFile(string str){
string cPath = ExtensionContext.Current.BasePath+"\\testme.txt";
File.AppendAllText(cPath,Environment.NewLine+str);
}
public Proc GetDeferredActionIfApplicable(SessionEventTriggerEvent sessionEventTriggerEvent)
{
this.DebugToFile("ActionCalled\n");
return null;
}
}

This seems to be relating to the Newtonsoft.Json package.
I have the dll available and is working within the WebServiceReference files, but when attempting to use Newtonsoft.Json within an event trigger it stops working without any errors or warnings
Has anyone else successfully imported Newtonsoft.Json?

Are you actually using Newtonsoft within the dynamic session event trigger or just including it as a dependency? Might be easier to just use the built-in deserializer we have in the ScreenConnect namespace. |

I reduced the code down to a simple example, but in the full code I do use the Newtonsoft.Json package.
Regardless of whether it gets used or not, as soon as it's included the code just does not run.
In the example, if removing `use Newtonsoft.Json` then all works fine.
I was not aware of a decoder within the ScreenConnect namespace but I have been using the built in functions to complete what I needed as a workaround.
The main reason for using the Newtonsoft.Json package was for performance/simplicity

Kind of an outside chance, does the Trigger work if you place the Newtonsoft.json libraries within the Bin folder in the ConnectWise Control server installation? By default that should be at C:/Program Files (x86)/ScreenConnect/Bin.
For a brief overview of our Dynamic Session Event Trigger stuff, basically the Session Manager basically loads every GetDeferredActionIfApplicable method implemented by an Extension into a list of procs. When an Event occurs, it executes each method. In general, you want to include some logic within the method to specify only when your method should actually run otherwise it will just execute for every possible event.
Since the implemented functions execute from the SessionManager (as far as I can tell), they may not have knowledge of what libraries/dependencies are included within the Extension since it's in a different location on disk. |

I've had the Newtonsoft.json library in the Bin folder from the start, it seemed to be one of the only places it would work
So with it in the Bin folder, any WebServiceReference files will import it and are able to use it fine, I currently have files that are doing so.
I only seem to be having trouble with the DynamicSessionEventTriggerDefinition files.
It's like something is possibly throwing an error when importing it.
If I don't import, and attempt to use a reference to one of the methods, it will throw the standard error about not being able to find the library.
There's no errors (that I have found) when importing it, but it's not working :/

I guess the only other thing I can think of to try is to put the dependency within the Extension's installation directory itself instead of /Bin.
It should be off the server's installation C:/Program Files (x86)/ScreenConnect/App_Extensions/[EXTENSION_ID/ |
