Single File Publish - Embed MudBlazor's .\wwwroot\_content directory

[Dwarf1er]

Hi all,

Project Dependencies

• Blazor Server
• MudBlazor
• Photino.Blazor NuGet package

What I Tried

[ x ] I read the PublishPhotino README
[ x ] The fix recommended in this #94
[ x ] The fix recommended in this #106

ManifestEmbeddedFileProvider Invalid path: "wwwroot"

Even if my resources are correctly embedded I still get an error thrown by the embedded file provider saying that "wwwroot" is an invalid path:

services.AddSingleton<IFileProvider>(_ => new ManifestEmbeddedFileProvider(typeof(Program).Assembly, "wwwroot"));

Thanks

Here's my .csproj file for reference:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

	<PropertyGroup>
		<OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
		<TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
		<ApplicationIcon>favicon.ico</ApplicationIcon>

So I've done some more digging and tried doing the exact same thing as was done in #106

I've ended up using the 2 repository approach to embed all the necessary resources in my assembly's Resources\ directory, along with the Manifest.xml file.

Here's my manifest file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Manifest>
    <ManifestVersion>1.0</ManifestVersion>
    <FileSystem>
        <File Name="&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;LinguisticStimulationPlanner.wwwroot._content.MudBlazor.MudBlazor.min.css&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;">
            <ResourcePath>
                 LinguisticStimulationPlanner.wwwroot._content.MudBlazor.MudBlazor.min.css
	    </ResourcePath>
        </File>
        <File Name="&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;LinguisticStimulationPlanner.wwwroot._content.MudBlazor.MudBlazor.min.js&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;">
            <ResourcePath>
	         LinguisticStimulationPlanner.wwwroot._content.MudBlazor.MudBlazor.min.js
	    </ResourcePath>
        </File>
        <File Name="&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;LinguisticStimulationPlanner.wwwroot.index.html&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;">
            <ResourcePath>
	         LinguisticStimulationPlanner.wwwroot.index.html
	    </ResourcePath>
        </File>
        <File Name="&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;LinguisticStimulationPlanner.wwwroot.linguistic-stimulation-planner.png&#xD;&#xA;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;&#x9;">
            <ResourcePath>
	         LinguisticStimulationPlanner.wwwroot.linguistic-stimulation-planner.png
            </ResourcePath>
        </File>
        <File Name="Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders.Embedded.Manifest.xml">
            <ResourcePath>Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders.Embedded.Manifest.xml</ResourcePath>
        </File>
    </FileSystem>
</Manifest>

However, whenever I pass "wwwroot" to the ManifestEmbeddedFileProvider I get an error: Invalid path: "wwwroot"

Here's my Program.cs:

using LinguisticStimulationPlanner.Data;
using LinguisticStimulationPlanner.Services;
using LinguisticStimulationPlanner.Utilities;
using LinguisticStimulationPlanner.Components;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using MudBlazor.Services;
using Photino.Blazor;
using Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders;
using System;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

namespace LinguisticStimulationPlanner
{
    public class Program
    {
        [STAThread]
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            PhotinoBlazorAppBuilder appBuilder = PhotinoBlazorAppBuilder.CreateDefault(args);

            ConfigureServices(appBuilder.Services);
            DatabaseSetup.SetupDatabase();

            appBuilder.RootComponents.Add<App>("app");

            PhotinoBlazorApp app = appBuilder.Build();

            app.MainWindow
                .SetSize(1400, 800)
                .SetLogVerbosity(0)
                .SetDevToolsEnabled(true)
                //.SetIconFile("favicon.ico")
                .SetTitle("Linguistic Stimulation Planner");

            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += (sender, error) =>
            {
                app.MainWindow.ShowMessage("Fatal exception", error.ExceptionObject.ToString());
            };

            app.Run();
        }

        private static void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            string databasePath = DatabaseSetup.GetDatabasePath();

            services.AddLogging();
            services.AddSingleton<IFileProvider>(_ => new ManifestEmbeddedFileProvider(typeof(Program).Assembly, "wwwroot"));
            services.AddMudServices();
            services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
                options.UseSqlite($"Data Source={databasePath}"));

            services.AddScoped<GoalService>();
            services.AddScoped<LocationService>();
            services.AddScoped<PatientService>();
            services.AddScoped<ToyService>();
        }
    }
}
