Umbraco 9

Hi,

I'm new to setting up .Net Core projects and am unsure what I'm missing when trying to install uSync.

I installed package usync 9.0.0-rc001
I build my project and the App_Plugins folder appears
I deploy my project, but none of the App_plugins content is copied (all files are set to "Do not copy"
do we need to manually add .AdduSync() to Startup.cs?

Manual steps I tried to resolve (to no effect):

copy the App_Plugins/usync folder manually
added .AdduSync() to Startup.cs (no parameters)

Would this be enough to add uSync in the BackOffice in it's usual place? I'm probably missing a step?

Hi

I think this is a Umbraco deploy thing (not a uSync thing e.g .AdduSync() doesn't effect the copying of the files.).

The files are copied as part of the dotnet publish - i think you need to tell .net to copy the app_plugins folder to your output folder

<ItemGroup>
    <None Update="App_Plugins\**\*">
       <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </None>
</ItemGroup>

but i am not 100% sure.

That does indeed publish all files, thanks. But it has the same effect as me copying them manually.

What else is needed to make the uSync dashboard appear in the BackOffice?

Hi,

So can you see the uSync entry in the settings tree ?

enter image description here

if you do - do you get anything (errors, etc) if you click on the uSync entry ?

There's no extra section appearing, which made me start to wonder if something's missing.

Used to be auto-detected by Umbraco in the past. The 3 dll's copied to the /bin folder are:

uSync.BackOffice.dll
uSync.Community.Contrib.dll
uSync.Core.dll

Anything missing? It does say "uSync: Startup Complete" in the logs.

Huh,

I redid everything with what I know now and the second time around it worked. Not really sure what changed.

Woot - lets say caching. 😊

Hi,

How are you publishing ?

i've just done a v-quick test- publishing to azure from visual studio. and first time (because i forgot the config above) it did indeed not have the App_Plugins - but once i added the config it copeid that over and i can see the uSync section in the backoffice.

I wonder if there is caching or anything else going on ?

the folder structure on my azure site for reference looks a little like this:
