When compiling iOS project developed with MvvmCross version 3.5.0, I get the following error:
Failed to resolve "Foundation.NSDate Foundation.NSDate::op_Explicit(System.DateTime)" reference from "Xamarin.iOS, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=84e04ff9cfb79065"
You are likely using an outdated version of MvvmCross (or another 3rd party) that used an old, preview version of the unified API.
The error tells you an assembly (binary) is looking for a member that it cannot find, because it was removed: see section "Converting DateTime to NSDate".
Updating your dependencies (any assembly binaries) will solve this correctly, without potentially introducing other issue(s).
The bug is in the method:
public void Include(UIDatePicker date) in LinkerPleaseInclude class.
Trying to pass DateTime as NSDate.
Just comment out or remove following code :
public void Include(UIDatePicker date)
{
date.Date = date.Date.AddSeconds(1);
date.ValueChanged += (sender, args) => { date.Date=NSDate.DistantFuture; };
}
Also can be resolved by updating binary libraries to unified api.
You can get detailed information on

I have a set of code procedures I use in a lot of places and I'm trying to basically move it to a library.
So I created my library with some unit test and everything was looking promising and at least working localy..
When I went to my project and deleted the files locally and then try to import them from my library as a dependency the code does not work.
I always get this kind of error
Class does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method abstract getProperty(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Object; of interface groovy.lang.GroovyObject.
I'm definitely not an expert on groovy but basically I use it in my Jenkins and Gradle for pipelines and some basic packaging or environment deployments.
I can show my class:
class ConsoleRow implements Comparable {
...
final Integer priority
final String rowStatus
final String message
final String rowReportClass
ConsoleRow(Integer priority, String status, String msg, String rowC) {
this.priority = priority
this.rowStatus = status
this.message = msg
this.rowReportClass = rowC
}
#Override
int compareTo(Object o) {
return this.priority <=> ((ConsoleRow) o).priority
}
The line that gives me the error is this actual compareTo when trying to do the "this.priority"
Caused by: java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Receiver class com.abc.insight.jenkins.ConsoleRow does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method abstract getProperty(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Object; of interface groovy.lang.GroovyObject.

at build_e548mc0tqjmi822clitlsycdk.runReport(C:\dev\repo\insight\insight-health-check\data-foundation\smoke-test\build.gradle:77)
The calling function is just trying to sort a list of those objects
List<ConsoleRow> outputRows = []
...
return outputRows.sort()
The part that gets me really confused is that if instead of importing the library as a dependency I just do this directly in this repo and put my sources in my buildSrc\src\main\groovy\com\abc\insight the code works fine...
So I really think it might be how I package and publish my library that might be wrong.
I'm really sure this is some basic error on my part because I never did a groovy library before but somehow I can't make it work.
It might be that my publication is just wrong, on my library side I'm using this plugins to do the publishing.
plugins {
id 'groovy'
id 'java-library'
id 'base'
}
publishing {
publications {
maven(MavenPublication) {
from components.java
}
}
}
I tried to change components.groovy but somehow it does not work.
Any ideas or tips, I think my question probably is showing some really lack of know-how on groovy but looking at the documentation and examples I could not figure it out.
Doing some debug in my IDE the compareTo that generates the exception looks like this.
public int compareTo(Object o) {
CallSite[] var2 = $getCallSiteArray();
return ScriptBytecodeAdapter.compareTo(this.priority, var2[0].callGroovyObjectGetProperty((ConsoleRow)ScriptBytecodeAdapter.castToType(o, ConsoleRow.class)));
}
I tried following this guide and code structure when doing moving the code to a library
https://docs.gradle.org/current/samples/sample_building_groovy_libraries.html
Thanks for any feedback
p.s: My code might look weird, I tried first to have everything with the def blablabla but I was having some issues with typecasting but I don't think this would be the reason for the problem I'm facing.
Anyway I got a look at the generated code in my IDE and I see a lot of get methods just no idea where they expected this getProperty from
Ok this was definitely a user error.
I am using distribution version of gradle 6.5.1
When I did the gradle init to bootstrap my project I was provided with the dependency of gradle groovy-all version 2.5.11
implementation group: 'org.codehaus.groovy', name: 'groovy-all', version: '2.5.11'
I thought that was a mistake and just updated to the latest version.
implementation group: 'org.codehaus.groovy', name: 'groovy-all', version: '3.0.9'
Now the problem is that the project in which I'm using the library is also running with gradle 6.5.1 so probably this version missmatch between compiple and usage was causing the problem.
By reverting to the correct version suggested by gradle the problem is gone.
I'm trying to start my first project with Cppsharp using Visual Studio 2015, following the getting started guide.
The steps I followed were to:
Create new C# console project
Install Cppsharp using Nuget
Add references to Dlls into the project
Create C# source file based on the example in this old post
Whilst the example in the post is old, it still seems to be consistent with the getting started guide. The full program is listed below.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using CppSharp;
namespace CppSharpTest
{
class Program
{
class DllDemoGenerator : ILibrary
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ConsoleDriver.Run(new DllDemoGenerator());
}
void Setup(Driver driver)
{
var options = driver.Options;
options.GeneratorKind = LanguageGeneratorKind.CSharp;
options.LibraryName = "DllDemo";
options.Headers.Add("DllDemo.h");
options.Libraries.Add("DllDemo.lib");
}
public void SetupPasses(Driver driver) { }
public void Preprocess(Driver driver, CppSharp.AST.Library lib) { }
public void Postprocess(CppSharp.AST.Library lib) { }
}
}
}
However, I am already facing errors See image:
CS0012 C# The type 'Object' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=...'
I was not able to find a way to add this reference. One solution I found proposed to target a higher .NET version (4.7.2) and I tried this, but the error still remains.
Can anyone help to overcome this problem?
Posted the same question on the Github page and was recommended to upgrade from VS2015
Installing VS2019 removed this error
Main context
We're actually trying to get a multi-threading version of Ghostscript x64 DLL, to make use of it through Ghostscript .NET. This component is supposed to "allow runing multiple Ghostscript instances simultaneously within a single process", but, as we have checked in our project, works fine until concurrent requests are made to the application. Same behavior can be replicated lauching same method using Tasks. The error description that raises in both cases, just when a call to the process is made until the last is being executed, is:
An error occured when call to 'gsapi_new_instance' is made: -100
Even it does no seem to be related with .NET directly, I will post a sample of our C# method code, just for contextualize.
// Define switches...
string[] switchesArray = switches.ToArray();
using (GhostscriptProcessor procesador = new GhostscriptProcessor())
{
try
{
procesador.StartProcessing(switchesArray, null);
byte[] destinationFile = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(destinationPath);
return destinationFile;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
finally
{
System.IO.File.Delete(sourceFile);
}
}
THREADSAFE solution
Starting our investigation, we found this KenS's answer on this post, indicating that Ghostscript DLL must be generated with GS_THREADSAFE compiler definition.
To clarify, as we make use of Ghostscript 9.52 x64 to generate our PDFs, we need this x64 DLL compiled for Release configuration. After trying to compile Ghostscript sources on Windows 10 x64 machine, using Visual Studio Community 2017 and Visual Studio Community 2019, we finally managed to build and generate all items (only with VS Community 2019) without GS_THREADSAFE parameter, just to confirm that compilation is fine, and we check that the DLLs and executables are working. For this process we took in mind all we found in Ghostscript official documentation.
As we have no other guide to include this GS_THREADSAFE parameter, we followed the instructions given in this solution, including XCFLAGS="-DGS_THREADSAFE=1" on nmake build commands, usign this sentence for Rebuild all option:
cd .. && nmake -f psi\msvc32.mak WIN64= SBR=1 DEVSTUDIO= XCFLAGS=-DGS_THREADSAFE=1 && nmake -f psi\msvc32.mak WIN64= DEVSTUDIO= XCFLAGS=-DGS_THREADSAFE=1 bsc
This approach, rises an error during build:
Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol errprintf_nomem referenced in
function gs_log_error File \mkromfs.obj 1
As it seems, the file mkromfs.c has a method called errprintf_nomem, which can't be found when GS_THREADSAFE is set.
Questions
1 - Is there any public release of Ghostscript that include x64 DLLs compiled to be THREADSAFE?
And, if not (that's what I'm guessing...)
2 - Is it possible to get this DLL to be THREADSAFE without changing the source code?
3- Could anyone provide, please, a step by step guide or walkthrough to build a x64 Ghostscript DLL using GS_THREADSAFE using Visual Studio (or even any other possible alternative) over Windows 10 x64?
4 - A few posts talk about people achive to manage multithreading using Ghostscript .NET. I assume this examples are all using a GS_THREADSAFE DLL... Is any other workaround we have passed?
Thank a lot in advance.
To summarize all this questions, and as a guide for future developers having this same trouble, these are the answers we've found until now:
AS #KenS mentions in his reply: "No, the Ghostscript developers don't actually build thread-safe versions of the binaries."
At this very moment, clearly not, as it has been reported on this opened bug.
As it seems to be a matter of commercial licensing support, we avoid comment on this point anymore.
Thanks again to #HABJAN. I absolutely take back what I've stated on my question, as it is possible to have Ghostscript .NET working on multi-threading scenarios. Below comes the solution we applied, in case it could be useful for someone.
Based on HABJAN example, what we have done to achieve this was to create a custom class to capture Ghostscript logging:
protected class ConsoleStdIO : Ghostscript.NET.GhostscriptStdIO
{
public ConsoleStdIO(bool handleStdIn, bool handleStdOut, bool handleStdErr) : base(handleStdIn, handleStdOut, handleStdErr)
{
}
public override void StdIn(out string input, int count)
{
char[] userInput = new char[count];
Console.In.ReadBlock(userInput, 0, count);
input = new string(userInput);
}
public override void StdOut(string output)
{
//log
}
public override void StdError(string error)
{
//log
}
}
For our previous method, we simple include a call to this class and this avoids errors when multiple tasks are executed at the same time:
// Define switches...
string[] switchesArray = switches.ToArray();
using (GhostscriptProcessor procesador = new GhostscriptProcessor())
{
try
{
procesador.StartProcessing(switchesArray, new ConsoleStdIO(true, true, true));
byte[] destinationFile = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(destinationPath);
return destinationFile;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
finally
{
System.IO.File.Delete(sourceFile);
}
}
Well, it seems to me that you are asking here for technical support.
You clearly want to use Ghostscript in a commercial undertaking, indeed one might reasonably say you want an enterprise version of Ghostscript. Presumably you don't want to alter the source in order to permit you to use an open source license, because you don't want to pay for a commercial license.
With that in mind the answers to your questions are:
No, the Ghostscript developers don't actually build thread-safe versions of the binaries.
Currently, no. That's probably an oversight.
That would be a technical support question, there's no guarantee of technical support to free users, it's the one of the few areas of leverage for dual license vendors to persuade people to take up a commercial license. So I hope you will understand that I'm not going to provide that.
as far as I can see, no.
With a skeleton project with FirstView from HotTuna package, and with Build linker behavior set to "Link all assemblies", I get the following error:
System.MissingMethodException: Default constructor not found for type Cirrious.CrossCore.IoC.MvxPropertyInjector
Using NuGet package v3.1.1 for all MvvmCross (4 packages)
LinkerPleaseInclude file does have the line
[MonoTouch.Foundation.Preserve(AllMembers = true)]
Using the latest stable build:
On PC:
Xamarin for VS 1.12.278
Xamarin.iOS 1.12.278
Mac:
Xamarin.iOS 7.2.2.2
Of course with Linker behavior of SDK only, it runs fine. Any suggestions anyone?
Solved; So, with the basic project, there were three consecutive errors in the following order:
System.MissingMethodException: Default constructor not found for type Cirrious.CrossCore.IoC.MvxPropertyInjector
can be resolved either by --linkskip=Cirrious.Core (ugly), or by including the following in LinkerPleaseInclude.cs
public void Include(MvxPropertyInjector injector){
injector = new MvxPropertyInjector ();
}
Next error is:
Cirrious.CrossCore.Exceptions.MvxException: Failed to construct and initialize ViewModel for type {0} from locator MvxDefaultViewModelLocator - check MvxTrace for more information
This one is difficult; Simple fix is to ofcourse to do a --linkskip=portableLibrary, or to crate an instance of the ViewModel somewhere (perhaps in LinkerPleaseInclude.cs); problem with the second approach at-least in my case is, most of my VM doesn't have a parameter less constructor, and obviously using IOC in this case wouldn't help.
Final Error:
System.ArgumentNullException: missing source event info in MvxWeakEventSubscription
Parameter name: sourceEventInfo
Either use --linkskip=System (ugly), or add the following to LinkerPleaseInclude.cs
public void Include(INotifyPropertyChanged changed)
{
changed.PropertyChanged += (sender, e) => {
var test = e.PropertyName;
};
}
This was enough for my basic project to run with LinkAllAssemblies, Using LLVM optimizer, and Use SGen collector.
Hope this will help anyone looking for a solution.
I hit this when my XCode was out of sync with the latest Xamarin on my Mac. Upgrading XCode to the latest resolved the problem.
I am trying to make a shim in VS 2012 ultimate as it described in MSDN site:
[TestClass]
public class TestClass1
{
[TestMethod]
public void TestCurrentYear()
{
int fixedYear = 2000;
using (ShimsContext.Create())
{
// Arrange:
// Detour DateTime.Now to return a fixed date:
System.Fakes.ShimDateTime.NowGet =
() =>
{ return new DateTime(fixedYear, 1, 1); };
// Instantiate the component under test:
var componentUnderTest = new MyComponent();
// Act:
int year = componentUnderTest.GetTheCurrentYear();
// Assert:
// This will always be true if the component is working:
Assert.AreEqual(fixedYear, year);
}
}
}
see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh549176.aspx
But when I compile my test project I get a notion in Output:
warning : Some fakes could not be generated. For complete details, set Diagnostic attribute of the Fakes element in this file to 'true' and rebuild the project.
How can I resolve this warning?
Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 improved code generation in Fakes to simplify troubleshooting of code generation problems. Whenever a Stub or a Shim could not be generated for a particular type, Fakes can now generate a warning message - you can see this in the Error List window of Visual Studio.
However, to prevent the number of warnings from becoming overwhelming for a large assembly, such as System, Fakes generates a single warning by default. You can see a complete list of warning messages by setting the Diagnostic attribute of the Fakes XML element in the .Fakes file to "true" or "1" and rebuilding the project. (See the first line of code below for an example.)
To resolve the warning, change the .Fakes file to generate only those Stubs and Shims you need in your tests. Details here
here a complete list of available options
<Fakes xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/fakes/2011/" Diagnostic="true">
<Assembly Name="System" Version="4.0.0.0"/>
<StubGeneration Disable="true" />
<ShimGeneration>
<Clear/>
<Add FullName="System.DateTime!"/>
</ShimGeneration>
</Fakes>
I have resolved it already alone.
It was .Net Framework 4.0 in Property.
Changing on 4.5 resolve the problem.
Try removing those .Fakes file.
I removed them accidentally and compiled, and the warnings are gone.
I am not sure what the impact is, but everything seems to run fine. I think it causes the compile to recompile the fakes file everything there is a build.
