Question

我正在使用WiX v3.14来构建.Net Core安装程序。我有一个用C＃编写的CustomAction-UpdateJsonAppSettings-，它旨在更新appsettings.json文件，该文件是安装的一部分（使用从执行安装的用户输入的字段构建的数据库连接字符串）。当我将CustomAction安排为立即运行，以After =“ InstallFinalize”（已通过Before =“ UpdateJsonAppSettings”安排的CustomActionData集合）运行时，session.CustomActionData集合为空。

<CustomAction Id="SetCustomActionData"
              Return="check"
              Property="UpdateJsonAppSettings"
              Value="connectionString=[CONNECTION_STRING_FORMATTED];filepath=[PATH_TO_APPSETTINGS_JSON]" />

<CustomAction Id="UpdateJsonAppSettings"
              BinaryKey="CustomActions"
              DllEntry="UpdateJsonAppSettings" 
              Execute="immediate" 
              Return="ignore" />

<InstallExecuteSequence>
  <Custom Action="ConnectionString" Before="SetCustomActionData" />
  <Custom Action="SetCustomActionData" Before="UpdateJsonAppSettings" />
  <Custom Action="UpdateJsonAppSettings" After="InstallFinalize">NOT Installed AND NOT PATCH</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>

Session.Log：

当我将CustomAction UpdateJsonAppSettings修改为Execute =“ deferred”并将其安排在=“ InstallFiles”之后时，CustomActionData已正确设置并且可用于CustomAction，但安装失败，并出现“找不到文件”异常。计划的Before =“ InstallFinalize”失败，但有相同的例外。

这看起来像Catch-22的情况。非常感谢您的帮助。

非常感谢Stein的建议-它最终使我找到了解决方案，尽管这绝非易事。我不确定如何提出这种解释以及如何将您的评论设为正确答案。

我发现的是，设置CustomDataAction元素（它在CustomAction中定义了appsettings.json的路径）在发送到session.Log时可以正确显示，但实际上并没有进行设置（请参见在线警告）

    [CustomAction]
    public static ActionResult SetCustomActionData(Session session)
    {
        CustomActionData _data = new CustomActionData();
        // ..escape single ';'
        string _connectionString = session["CONNECTION_STRING"];
        _connectionString.Replace(";", ";;");
        _data["connectionString"] = _connectionString;
        // ..correctly output in install log
        session.Log(string.Format("SetCustomActionData() setting _connectionString: {0}", _connectionString));
        // Property set to [#appSettings] in Product.wxs
        string _filePath = session["PATH_TO_APPSETTINGS_JSON"];
        _data["filepath"] = _filePath;
        // ..correctly output in install log
        session.Log(string.Format("SetCustomActionData() setting _filepath: {0}", _filePath));
        // ..set the CustomActionData programmatically
        session["UpdateJsonAppSettings"] = _data.ToString();

        return ActionResult.Success;
    }

    Install.log:
    [SNIP]
    SetCustomActionData() setting _connectionString: 'Data Source=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;;Initial Catalog=...'
    SetCustomActionData() setting _filepath: 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\UServiceApi\appsettings.json'

    [CustomAction]
    public static ActionResult UpdateJsonAppSettings(Session session)
    {
        // ..as per Stein's suggestion
        MessageBox.Show("Attach run32dll.dll now");
        // ..correctly output to log (i.e. 2)
        session.Log(string.Format("Session.CustomActionData.Count(): {0}", session.CustomActionData.Count));
        // ..correctly output two key/value pairs to log
        foreach(string _key in session.CustomActionData.Keys)
            session.Log(string.Format("key: {0}, value: {1}", _key, session.CustomActionData[_key]));

        string _connectionString = session.CustomActionData["connectionString"];
        string _pathToAppSettings = session.CustomActionData["filepath"];
        // WARNING: _pathToAppSettings has reverted to the literal "[#appSettings]" - which of course triggers File not found Exception.
        ActionResult _retVal = UpdateJsonConnectionString(_connectionString, _pathToAppSettings, out string _result);
        // ..log failure
        if (_retVal != ActionResult.Success)
            session.Log(string.Format("UpdateJsonAppSettings() returned: {0}; _result: {1}; filepath: {2}; connectionString: {3}", 
                                      _retVal, _result, _pathToAppSettings, _connectionString));

        return _retVal;
    }

    Install.log:
    [SNIP]
    key: connectionString, value: Data Source=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=...
    key: filepath, value: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\UServiceApi\appsettings.json
    [SNIP]
    UpdateJsonAppSettings() returned: NotExecuted; _result: File not found:C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ServiceApi\appsettings.json...

我尝试了Properties和CustomAction实现的多种不同组合，但最终发现，正确设置CustomActionData包含“真实”文件路径元素的唯一方法是将其设置为Product中的Type 51（我认为）CustomAction .wxs。我尝试过的其他组合都没有用。

Product.wxs中的工作代码段：

<Property Id="PATH_TO_APPSETTINGS_JSON" Value="[#appSettings]" />

<CustomAction Id="SetCustomActionData" 
              Return="check" 
              Property="UpdateJsonAppSettings" 
              Value="connectionString=[CONNECTION_STRING_FORMATTED];filepath=[#appSettings]" />// NOTE: cannot use filepath=[PATH_TO_APPSETTINGS_JSON] here

结论：一个可能的WiX错误-日志没有说明真相（它选择性地“翻译”了CustomActionData元素，而编译的安装程序代码实际上使用了不同的值）。

WiX Toolset-为什么InstallFinalize之后的CustomAction的CustomActionData集合为空？
