Testing extension class assemblies locally

To test a new version of an extension class assembly locally before checking it in, copy the new version of the extension class assembly to a folder named:

appName/idoxca/configName

where:

  • appName is the application root folder, usually C:\Program Files\Infor\MongooseApp.
  • idoxca is a directory you must set up specifically for testing your application and configurations.
  • configName is the name of the configuration being used to test the DLL.

The IDO runtime checks this location first when it loads an assembly.

This might also be useful to developers working on different classes in the same assembly, since only one developer can have an assembly checked out at a time.

You might need to discard the IDO metadata cache to force the IDO runtime to load the new version.

Note: This section applies only if you have a Visual Studio version other than the “Express” edition.
