Refactor CefSharp.Core into CefSharp.Core.Runtime #3311

amaitland · 2020-12-09T07:06:41Z

Summary:

Restructure projects/packages to

Better support .Net Core/5.0
CefSharp.Core.dll is now written in C# with CefSharp.Core.Runtime.dll being the runtime dependency that provides the Mixed Mode CLI/C++ implementation.
Simplify AnyCPU targeting
Resolves issue with pacakges.config based projects having to reload the solution for the dependencies to show up
Remove requirement for package consumers having to change $(Platform) at the solution level ($PlatformTarget) at project level is now sufficient
Greater control over how libcef.dll is loaded.
Potential to add additional runtime checks like validating VC++ is installed.
Upgrade GitLink

Changes:

Convert from x86/x64 to AnyCPU.
- CefSharp.dll
- CefSharp.WinForms.dll
- CefSharp.Wpf.dll
- CefSharp.OffScreen.dll
- Included in lib\net452 folder in Nuget packages, can no longer be moved by setting CefSharpTargetDir property in project file (msbuild).
Rename CefSharp.Core.dll to CefSharp.Core.Runtime.dll
- No longer directly referenced by client applications
- All the Public API methods it exposes are hidden from Visual Studio Intellisense
- Used indirectly through new CefSharp.Core.dll (AnyCPU class library).
Add CefSharp.Core.dll
- Managed (AnyCPU) dll that provides the public API
- In .Net Core there will be a CLR Module Initializer to load libcef.dll from the relevant location where required
- Additional runtime checks can be added to validate if say VC++ is installed
- Generally give more control over loading of the unmanaged resources and setting the relevant paths e.g. BrowserSubProcessPath
- NOTE: In Theory we could use a CLR Module Initializer in .Net 4.5.2 and load the dlls at runtime to support AnyCPU,
  this would require some breaking changes to the public API, so have added support for a app.config transform based on Move platform dependent files to respective directories. #3168

How Has This Been Tested?
Unit tests pass sucessfully. The MinimaExample works in the cases tested so far.

Types of changes

Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
Updated documentation

Checklist:

Tested the code(if applicable)
Commented my code
Changed the documentation(if applicable)
New files have a license disclaimer
The formatting is consistent with the project (project supports .editorconfig)

Partial rename, only Net Core, folder not renamed

Remove GenApi

Move into CefSharp.Core namespace

…ackage

Make sure users don't attempt to load them directly

… variant Attempt to load CefSharp.Core.Runtime at runtime rather than having to use msbuild to copy the correct version

As they are all managed assemblies they can target AnyCPU. Includes CefSharp.dll

Now part of the CefSharp.Core PublicApi

If no RID is specified then we can load libcef.dll using the module initializer

Rewrite common targets

Improve AnyCPU support

Only delete CefSharp.Core.Runtime.dll when AnyCPU

TODO:

Determine if we can use Arch Specific folders to get around having to implement the hack added in commit 5d4cd24
It's likely to be a little bit hacky using the .Net 452 dlls in a netcoreapp3 folder
Fix typos in new Cef class ( Fix typos #3306)
Investigate better solution to commit ee05ef2
Had to duplicate the files in lib\netcoreapp3 folder as the lib\net452 dlls weren't being referenced in solution for netcoreapp3.x.
Was unable to find a better solution, tried copying the files into just the runtimes\win-{arch}\lib folder without success. Tested with PacakgeReference targeting .Net 4.5.2 and it appears to pickup the lib\net452 dlls successfully
Automatically generate net452 ref assembly source code as part of build script.
- Investigate if this can be done via MSBuild

Based on cefsharp#3306

For now the powershell build script generates the .cs file based on a x86 release build.ps1 It's not possible to directly install GenApi as it requires a Sdk style project

amaitland · 2020-12-16T00:46:47Z

I'm going to merge this now, there's still likely a few issues to resolve. Once AppVeyor creates a new set of packages that'll be easier to test with so will resolve them after merge.

amaitland · 2020-12-16T05:44:16Z

The Ref Assemblies don't appear to be build correctly on AppVeyor.

Nickman87 · 2020-12-19T16:13:39Z

@amaitland Awesome seeing this work towards the new .Net 5! Are these changes already available somehow trough NuGet to try out?

amaitland · 2020-12-19T20:17:11Z

@Nickman87 Yes, packages are available on https://www.myget.org/gallery/cefsharp

Issue #3197 has the Net Core/5 specific details, if you can report your findings there that would be greatly appreciated.

Updated to reflect changes made in #3311
