REST API in C# Exception thrown when calling _extractionsContext.ReportTemplateOperations.Create(...

...template);

I have a piece of code that works fine on my development machine, but I am unable to get it to run on my colleague's machine, so I know that the issue is environmental.

In the following code an exception is thrown during the last .Create method...

var pricesnapInstrumentList = new InstrumentList { Name = sRequestReference };

reportTemplate.ContentFields.AddRange(dictFieldNames.Keys.ToArray());
reportTemplate.ShowColumnHeaders = true;

_extractionsContext.InstrumentListOperations.Create(pricesnapInstrumentList);
_extractionsContext.InstrumentListOperations.AppendIdentifiers(pricesnapInstrumentList, instrumentIdentifierList, false);
_extractionsContext.ReportTemplateOperations.Create(reportTemplate);

The exception appears to say "Exception of type 'ThomsonReuters.Dss.Api.InvalidResponseException' was thrown.", however, on further investigation it discloses the following:


'ex' threw an exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException'
    Data: {System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal}
    FileName: null
    FusionLog: null
    HResult: -2147024894
    HelpLink: null
    InnerException: null
    Message: "Cannot load assembly 'E:\\TFS\\Develop\\VA\\Transformer\\bin\\Debug\\ThomsonReuters.Dss.RestApi.Client.dll'."
    Source: null
    StackTrace: null
    TargetSite: null


The file 'ThomsonReuters.Dss.RestApi.Client.dll' is present at the location E:\TFS\Develop\VA\Transformer\bin\Debug although the error suggests that it is not.

Any ideas what is going on here?

Thanks!

Did you copy all of the SDK DLLs to the directory? Assemblies can fail to load due to missing dependent assemblies.

stephen.rabagliati

yes I copied all the DLLs (remember this is working on my own dev machine! It's as if the code is trying to load the .DLL from a different location from that reported in the exception.

I have found this to be a useful .Net tool for debugging assembly dependencies:

OK problem solved.

I had not copied the language sub-directories to the secondary build machine.

I took a refresh of the SDK and the issue is resolved
