Issue: CFusion Pro (5.7 Beta 3), macro, Newtonsoft.Json.dll

WARNING: You currently have Javascript disabled!

This looks for me like an issue, can anyone confirm?

Code
Copy
Select All

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

I have added to the references "| Newtonsoft.Json.dll" and I have verified if the file exist in the directory of CFusion.

But still reveiving this error msg:

Code
Copy
Select All

Line 0: Metadata file 'Newtonsoft.Json.dll' could not be found

Thank you.

Regards,
Ben

I have not verified if the issue exist already in 5.6.

Update:

I did some further investigation.

First I tried to add the dll to: "c:\Windows\System32\" But it provided me with this error code.

Code
Copy
Select All

Compile Failed.
Absolute path information is required.
[System.ArgumentException]

But I was able to solve it with this reference:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\ClipboardFusion\Newtonsoft.Json.dll"

Glad to hear you were able to get it sorted out!

But don't you think it is an issue?
For me it is still unclear why it requires the full path.

When we run macros, they get compiled as a .NET assembly, but the assembly isn't actually a file on the file system anywhere. It's not running under the CF process or anything really related to it, so any external references need to be fully qualified.

Please let us know if you have any further questions at all.

Thanks!
