Commands are dropped when CommandItemInfo is applied.

[geoffgscott]

If CommandItemInfo is applied the commands disappear from the command tab (for all document types). Tested on both SW2021 and SW2022.

[Title("Power Tools")]
public enum Commands_e
{
    // below line causes command to disappear
    [CommandItemInfo(WorkspaceTypes_e.AllDocuments)]
    [Icon(typeof(Resources), nameof(Resources.electric_drill))]
    Drill,
    [Icon(typeof(Resources), nameof(Resources.electric_screwdriver))]
    Screwdriver,
    [Icon(typeof(Resources), nameof(Resources.power_saw))]
    Saw
}

Did you run the installer on the dev machine (e.g. where it was compiled)? If so, please make sure that the dev version is not registered:

• Clear the solution • Start SOLIDWORKS to see if there is no add-in • Install from the installer • Validated that files in the installation folder match the build (e.g. there are no missing files)

Users reported issues with the VSI installer (COM objects were not registered). I am using WiX

Try to add Try-catch block within your OnConnect to see if there is an exception (it can be an exception if you have previous dev version of the add-in registered due to the conflict of the ids)

If the above does not work, please try to register manually with regasm /codebase.

If none of the above works, we can schedule an online meeting to troubleshoot.

To clarify this appears to be unrelated to the installer at all. Issue is noticed both in local development (even after running a project clean) as well as in a bundled install (installed to a separate clean machine instance).

Looks to be specifically related to this line [CommandItemInfo(WorkspaceTypes_e.AllDocuments)]

@geoffgscott we can organize an online meeting to resolve this. I have sent you an e-mail
