[BUG] Adding ReactiveUI.Events to base empty UWP causes `Compile with .Net Native tool chain` build option to fail

[matthewacme]

Description Adding the ReactiveUI.Events Nuget package 11.1.n to a newly created empty UWP app in Visual Studio using the base no frills template will cause the release build to fail if Compile with .NET Native tool chain compiler option is set to true.

This option must be set to true in order to be able to submit a UWP to the store.

Steps To Reproduce

Screen shots for each step included below

1. Open Visual Studio 2019 and select to create a Universal Windows Blank App
2. Select target version of 18362 and min ver of 17134
3. open project properties and set the build to Release | x64 and make sure the Compile with .NET Native tool chain option is selected true (this is the default)
4. Run app to confirm hello world works
5. open Nuget for solution and add ReactiveUI.Events package 11.1.6 (error will also happen with 11.1.1 package)
6. add ReactiveUI base package 11.1.6
7. Try to run / compile the application now, it will fail with SDK ...nutc_driver.exe returned with exit code 1
8. Remove the ReactiveUI.Events nuget package from the application, leaving in the ReactiveUI base package
9. Application compiles and runs.

Expected behavior The project should build and run with just a reference to the nuget package with the Compile with .NET Native tool chain compiler option set to on.

Update,

Just discovered that the compile error happens ONLY when BOTH ReactiveUI and ReactiveUI.Events nuget packages are both included in at least one project.

Either one by themselves in a project and the app will compile and run no problem

[TangoSensory]

Hitting the same issue. Any update?

[matthewacme]

Considering I opened this bug 8 months ago, and no one has even looked at it, I'm not sure we can expect any of the project developers have time to fix things.

[glennawatson]

We have reduced bugs by 30 so far in the last couple months with priority for those who have sponsored the project.

[TangoSensory]

Ok. Appreciate your efforts. Thanks.

This seems like quite a fundamental issue for anyone using UWP though. Would be grateful if you could take a look. Thanks

[glennawatson]

But yeah this is likely due to version mismatch with the generated events on pharmacist which is something I have been working on in other issues. So hopefully fixed in the next couple weeks. By default at the moment it's generating for 16299 only of uwp

[matthewacme]

@glennawatson Fair enough... I can understand that totally, we all need to pay our bills. After all I used to buy tools from Telerik and they'd take up to a year to fix bugs sometimes, you guys are doing this work "for free" so to speak.

[matthewacme]

Seems only fair for me to contribute to your excellent efforts. So Acme AtronOmatic, LLC has become a monthly backer. I'll talk to the boss and see if I can get a higher monthly donation approved (I have a very low company spending limit).

Thanks folks, my earlier comment was unfair in tone. cc @glennawatson

[glennawatson]

All good. No stress on amount. Anyway wont be immediate but will work on a fix in the next couple weeks.

In the mean time a workaround is you can use the code generated by pharmacist and the events package for the specific events you want to register to.

[glennawatson]

I'll put the generated cs file here in the issue so you can pick and choose your events and bring it across

[TangoSensory]

@glennawatson FYI it appears to be affecting versions post 16299 as well. Checking/unchecking "Compile with .NET Native tool chain" (for Release builds), means the build fails/succeeds respectively. I've seen Out-of-memory errors building locally and on Azure, which probably explain why the builds just seem to hang for several minutes before failing

[TangoSensory]

@glennawatson Sensory are now projects backers as well. Thanks for the great work

[glennawatson]

Events_uwp.zip

Attached is the events file that is generated.

I suspect if you just cut it down to the classes/files you are using events for it'll get around your memory issues.

@glennawatson Thanks for the sending that over. Seeing lots of errors though, when including the file. Type not found and type forwarder errors.

Am I right in thinking this will relate to a specific Windows version (via the Reference Assemblies)? If so, which one is this please?

[glennawatson]

I think the problem is that the events at the moment include every single UWP library. Likely what I'm going to do is separate it out into different nuget packages and then lazy loading will take care of those that you don't include.

So my recommendation is until I get a fix is you just cut/paste the relevant generated events for classes in the UWP libraries for the moment.

Sounds good. Cheers

Not so keen on this option, but ok, thanks

[glennawatson]

Also you can try the 64 bit linker btw.

The default native compiler is 32 bit and runs out of memory. Add <Use64Bitcompiler>true</Use64Bitcompiler> to the project file as a property option.

[glennawatson]

Looks like you have a different error @behroozbc and not even sure if it is the events packages.

[glennawatson]

Btw for the reference in regards to this issue I believe the solution is two fold.

One is the 64 bit compiler will get around people's issue in the short term. It should compile in 64 bit mode.

Been working on a source generator which will only generate events on classes you call Events() on.

[glennawatson]

@behroozbc since this is unrelated to the current issue can you make a new one and I'll take a look later today for you.

[glennawatson]

[matthewacme]

So @glennawatson ,

Looking over the ReactiveMarbles project you are suggesting we switch to... I see you are the sole contributor on that project. Does this indicate that the ReactiveUI team will no longer attempt to make ReactiveUI.Events a working nuget package? or is there another reason that the reactivemarbles/observableevents can't be ported to ReactiveUI.Events? Is there incompatiblity in the libraries I should be concerned with?

Also does this indicate the ReactiveUI project is entering a period of fragmentation, where we can expect different parts to be split among different / new proejcts?

[glennawatson]

Reactive marbles project is where all new rxui based projects go. You'll notice we have a number of projects happening over there mostly about using source generators.

We aren't supporting events going forward mostly due to nuget versions not matching and we'd get support issues where dll wouldn't match. Also events is overly agreesive and users would have failed store submissions due to API being included that the stores didn't expect.

[matthewacme]

Thanks for that advice.

I’ll add the marbles to my git areas to watch…
