Title: Activity monitor
Post by: bkenobi on June 06, 2014, 07:38:52 AM

I have a plugin that will output the module and status during a ModuleParameterIsChanging event.  This is working fine.  I use a similar code for all of my plugins to track activity of the plugin for debugging purposes.  I want to be able to output the line number of the calling statement which instantiates the subroutine which actually does the formatted write to the file.  I've found documentation for C# which points to "CallerLineNumber" and "CallerMemberName".  I've tried using the examples I've found, but they don't seem to work so I'm assuming HG is missing a reference.

My working Activity log:

Code: [Select]

string ActivityLogPath = Program.InputField("ActivityLogPath").Value;

Action<string>
Log = (string logtext) => {
  string text = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss.fffffffzzz") + " : " + logtext + "
";
  System.IO.File.AppendAllText(ActivityLogPath, text);
};

When.ModuleParameterIsChanging((module, parameter) =>
{
  string logtext = module.Instance.Name + " : " + parameter.Name + " : " + parameter.Value;
  Log(logtext);
 
  return true;
});

Program.GoBackground();
The example code I'm looking at is at:
http://stackoverflow.com/a/14122771 (http://stackoverflow.com/a/14122771)

I tried adding the CallerLineNumber and CallerMemberName lines to the call statement, but that didn't seem to work.  Any thoughts?

I have something that outputs what it thinks is the line and column numbers, but it's wrong since both are 0.

Code: [Select]

string ActivityLogPath = Program.InputField("ActivityLogPath").Value;

Action<string>
Log = (string logtext) => {
  var LineNumber = (new System.Diagnostics.StackFrame(1)).GetFileLineNumber();
  var ColumnNumber = (new System.Diagnostics.StackFrame(1)).GetFileColumnNumber();
 
  //string text = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss.fffffffzzz") + " : " + logtext + "
";
  string text = DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd HH:mm:ss.fffffffzzz") + " : " + logtext + " (" + LineNumber.ToString() + ", " + ColumnNumber + ")" + "
";
  System.IO.File.AppendAllText(ActivityLogPath, text);
};

When.ModuleParameterIsChanging((module, parameter) =>
{
  string logtext = module.Instance.Name + " : " + parameter.Name + " : " + parameter.Value;
  Log(logtext);
 
  return true;
});

Program.GoBackground();
From what I understand, these commands only work if the code is in DEBUG mode.  Is it in RELEASE at this point?

I disabled it because it was generating random files (debugging info) at each program update/compile. Most user don't need that.
It can be enable by changing this line:
