Data Standards 2017 Issue with Context Menu

dsmith — Sun, 08 Jan 2017 21:47:23 GMT

Hi All

I am trying to add a context menu item to Items using Data Standards

Location="ItemContextMenu" stops the whole context menus being created and in the datastandardvaultlog.txt I get

2017-01-08 21:35:01,631 [1] FATAL dataStandard4Vault.dataStandardExtension - CommandSites failed with exception
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Common.UiStringExtensions.Localize(String key)
   at myMenu.Config.XmlConfigReader.LocalizeNavigationTypes(CommandSite cmdSite)
   at myMenu.Config.XmlConfigReader.GetSitesAndCommandsFromMenuConfig()
   at myMenu.Config.ConfigReaderDecorator.GetSitesAndCommandsFromMenuConfig()
   at dataStandard4Vault.dataStandardExtension.CommandSites()

if I use Location="FileContextMenu" all works fine.

Does anyone have a clue?

There might a syntax error. Compare with this example, that works: I added a custom command "reserveNumbers".

In the section MenuItem the addition is:

    <!--ReserveNumbers Menu item start-->
    <ReserveNumbers Label = "$UIString[ADSK-RSRVNUMBERS_MNU20]" Description = "$UIString[ADSK-RSRVNUMBERS_MNU20]" Hint = "$UIString[ADSK-RSRVNUMBERS_MNU20]"
      PSFile = "ReserveNumbers.ps1" Image="ReserveNumbers.ico" ToolbarPaintStyle = "TextAndGlyph"
      MultiSelectEnabled = "false"/>
    <!--ReserveNumbers Menu item end-->

In the command site section I added:

    <ItemContext Label="myMenu" DeployAsPullDown="False" Location="ItemContextMenu">
      <Item Name="ReserveNumbers"></Item>
    </ItemContext>

The result is as expected:

The result: In case of doubt, share your menudefinitions.xml to have a look at.
