Design Automation for AutoCAD: Command Method Not Getting Called

[h_celikJASY7]

Hello,

I am currently working on a project using Design Automation for AutoCAD and I'm encountering an issue where my command method is not getting called. I have a .NET application that defines a command method, a command script that calls this command, and an activity that runs this command script. However, when I run the activity, the command method does not seem to be executed.

Here are the relevant parts of my code:

MainApp.cs

using System;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
using MergeDwgs;

[assembly: CommandClass(typeof(Commands))]
[assembly: ExtensionApplication(null)]

namespace MergeDwgs
{
    public class Commands
    {
        [CommandMethod("MergeDwg")]
        public static void MergeDwg()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Starting program");
        }
    }
}

commands.scr

MergeDwg

Activity

{
  "commandLine": [
    "$(engine.path)\\\\accoreconsole.exe /i \"$(args[emptyInputFile].path)\" /al \"$(appbundles[MergeDwgs].path)\" /s \"$(args[scriptFile].path)\""
  ],
  "parameters": {
    "emptyInputFile": {
      "verb": "get",
      "description": "Empty Input DWG File",
      "required": true,
      "localName": "empty.dwg"
    },
    "outputFile": {
      "verb": "put",
      "description": "Output Merged DWG File (same as input file for now)",
      "localName": "empty.dwg"
    },
    "scriptFile": {
      "verb": "get",
      "description": "Script File",
      "required": true,
      "localName": "commands.scr"
    }
  },
  "id": "USERID.MergeDwgs",
  "engine": "Autodesk.AutoCAD+24_3",
  "appbundles": [
    "USERID.MergeDwgs+dev"
  ],
  "description": "Merges multiple DWG files into a single DWG file"
}

I've checked the logs and there are no error messages or exceptions. The command script is correctly formatted and includes the `MergeDwg` command. The .NET application is correctly defining the `MergeDwg` command and is correctly compiled into a DLL. The AppBundle includes all the necessary files and is correctly uploaded to Design Automation. The activity definition is correctly referencing the AppBundle and the command script.

Despite all this, the command method is not getting called. Here is the log from the work item:

all that command does is issue a message. Where is the code that actually merges the drawings?
