Extending Plumber via Task Events, not firing?

Plumber - Workflow for Umbraco - Discussion and troubleshooting

Umbraco 7
Hi Nathan,

Great package idea and works great although I have hit a slight snag when subscribing to the events.

As they are not static I need to initialise the events in the ApplicationStarted method, is this correct?

When doing this and then adding a method, onto the TaskService it doesn't seem to trigger the event when I update a workflow task.

Hoping you could guide me in the correct direction please?
```
        protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext context)
        {
            TasksService ts = new TasksService();
            ts.Updated += TaskService_Updated;
        }

        private void TaskService_Updated(object sender, TaskEventArgs e)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }
```
Thanks again for you time in developing this package

Hi Marc

That absolutely should be working - Plumber events should be registered the same way as the native Umbraco ones.

Have you tried events on other services or just Tasks?

Will have a dig into it this morning.

Hi Marc

This was my fault - a few versions back I refactored to add a proper service layer, and didn't update the events correctly. Basically, they weren't working because they weren't static.

Once the new build finishes in a minute or two, events will work exactly like the Umbraco ones:
```
    protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext context)
    {
        TasksService.Updated += TaskService_Updated;
    }

    private void TaskService_Updated(object sender, TaskEventArgs e)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
```

Superb Nathan,

Thanks for the quick response and fix, is there anything I need to be aware of when updating the package?

I intent to use the package quite extensively so would be happy to contribute and assist with anything in the future.

Cheers,

M

If you're upgrading from v0.7.x to the v0.8.2 release, there's a restructure of the appplugins folder. Nothing breaking, but will leave some old files hanging around so might be better to delete appplugins/workflow before updating.

Are you using NuGet or the zip? Shouldn't make any difference, but NuGet is easier to manage when I'm still pushing out fairly frequent updates.

More than happy to accept contributions!

Ill be using Nuget, im on 8 so I should be all good then.

Do you have a list of work you are looking to do within the package somewhere?

Cheers,

Roadmap is basically whatever comes to mind at the time - there're a few issues on the GitHub repo, but not much in the way of new features at the moment.

Really focused on getting V1 tidy and shipped, been working towards that for a while and want to get it out of beta and released
