Desktop App Converter Error E_MANIFEST_USE_DEFAULT_VALUE_FAILED - windows-store-apps

I am trying to convert my app for the windows store using Desktop App Converter and I am stuck with this command which gives me the same error no matter what I try, can anyone have a clue what am I doing wrong here?
in powershell command line:
$binDirectory = "C:\appIn\appSetup.msi"
$appExecutable = "app.exe"
$packageDirectory = "C:\appOut"
$packageName = "appPackName"
$publisher = "CN=DA7DD138-DCEF-7891-1234-A12C7B024C71"
$appDisplayName = "App Name"
$appDescription = "Literally 1 click app for..."
$packageDisplayName = "Literally 1 click app for..."
$packagePublisherDisplayName = "AppdispName"
$version = "1.0.0.0"
cls; DesktopAppConverter -Installer $binDirectory -AppExecutable $appExecutable -Destination $packageDirectory -PackageName $packageName -Publisher $publisher -AppDisplayName $appDisplayName -AppDescription $appDescription -PackageDisplayName $packageDisplayName -PackagePublisherDisplayName $packagePublisherDisplayName -Verbose -Version $version
the error I get is
Inner Exception[0]: System.ArgumentException: DesktopAppConverter : error 'E_MANIFEST_USE_DEFAULT_VALUE_FAILED': Property 'Package.Applications.Application.Id' in AppxManifest.xml could not be set to the default value 'appPackName' given for parameter '-PackageName'. Please visit: 'https://aka.ms/appid' for more info on the Data type requirements for the property, and retry with a valid value or pass in a value for optional parameter ’-AppId’ to override the default VERBOSE: The full error record is saved in the logs at C:\DesktopAppConverter\be4346f6-b6f9-4d6d-8864-97a7834a247f\logs
I have tried all combinations for package name, with values found in the dev center... nothing works; what am I doing wrong here?
thank you

From your error info, it is the 'Package.Applications.Application.Id' in AppxManifest.xml could not be set to the default value 'appPackName' given for parameter '-PackageName'.
As the -AppId Package manifest parameters introduction in the Parameter Reference,
-AppId Optional Specifies a value to set Application Id to in the Windows app package manifest. If it is not specified, it will be set to the value passed in for PackageName. In many cases, using the PackageName is fine. However, if the dev center assigns an identity to your package that begins with a number, make sure that you also pass in the -AppId parameter, and use only the string suffix (after the period separator) as the value of that parameter.
So you can try to pass in the -AppId parameter when convert your app, and use only the string suffix (after the period separator) as the value of that parameter.

---> 152 for i in range(self.num_employees):
-------------^
153 pass
what exactly am i doing wrong?
is this a misunderstanding as to what a literal is on my part?
Look at the description of range-function, there just one way to pass a variable to it:
for i in range(a, a + N):
pass
In your case it should be like this (not sure that it be useful):
num_employees: public(uint256)
#external
def __init__():
self.num_employees = 16
#external
def do_smth():
for i in range(self.num_employees, self.num_employees + 10):
pass
the issue above is not one of misunderstanding the for loop's use, instead it is a result of incompatible coding style with the security measures of vyper
the reason the for loop was being created was to make sure when an 'employee' was 'fired' or 'quit' then there wouldn't be an empty record in the list of 'employee's which was being maintained
instead, in order to avoid using a for loop altogether, and with a small sacrifice of not being able to remove no longer 'active employee's, best practice is to just track the 'employee' in a hashmap:
idToEmployee: HashMap[uint256, employee]
and when tracking the employees, simply assign an id attribute to the 'employee' using a global variable called num_employees
ex:
def employ():
new_employee: employee = employee ({
id: self.num_employees
})
self.idToEmployee[self.num_employees] = new_employee
when attempting to view or update that employee's info simply use:
self.idToEmployee[id]
#vladimir has a good explanation of how range is passed variables if there is still confusion about for loops in vyper for the reader
In fact, you can't use variables in range() directly, but we can use other method.
Here is my advice:
for i in range(999999):
if i < self.some_uint256:
# do something...
else:
break

Problem using Powershell to extract a value from a Json structure

Using Powershell, I get a json snippet returned into my First variable (this always works fine);
# Initialise variables...
$nMessage_id = "";
$whatStatusJsonContent = "";
# Function https://abc.googleapis.com/abc/load call here and returns...
$whatStatusJsonContent = '{"message_id":9093813071099257562}'
Then I call the convert function into a temp variable like this;
$ResponseBody = ConvertFrom-Json $whatStatusJsonContent;
which puts the Json into a nice little data structure like this;
message_id
----------
9093813071099257562
From which I can select the value I want by calling this;
$nMessage_id = $ResponseBody.message_id;
Usually, this works fine and I get the value into my second variable;
$nMessage_id = 9093813071099257562
The problem is: Sometimes I get nothing in $nMessage_id, even though $whatStatusJsonContent is definitely logged as having the Json returned correctly from the function.
My question is: Do I have to ConvertFrom-Json, or can I read it raw from the First variable..?
COMBINED SOLUTION: Thanks to #mklement() and #Bernard-Moeskops
# Initialise variables...
$nMessage_id = "";
$whatStatusJsonContent = "";
# Function https://abc.googleapis.com/abc/load call here and returns...
$whatStatusJsonContent = '{"message_id":9093813071099257562}'
$ResponseBody = ConvertFrom-Json $whatStatusJsonContent;
if($ResponseBody.message_id){
# ConvertFrom-Json got the value!
$nMessage_id = $ResponseBody.message_id
}else{
# ConvertFrom-Json didn't work!
$nMessage_id = = ($whatStatusJsonContent -split '[:}]')[1]
}
There's nothing overtly wrong with your code.
ConvertFrom-Json should work as expected and return a [pscustomobject] instance with a .message_id property.
In your example, the message_id JSON property value is a number that is an integer, for which ConvertTo-Json automatically chooses a suitable integer data type as follows: the smallest signed type >= [int] (System.Int32)[1] that can accommodate the value ([int] -> [long] (System.Int64) -> [decimal] (System.Decimal)); the caveat is that if the value can't even fit into a [decimal], an - inexact - [double] is used.[2]
With the sample JSON in your question, [long] is chosen.
In a follow-up comment you state:
The routine makes over 1000 calls/hour and for most of them the Json comes back and the $nMessage_id is yielded perfectly. Then, suddenly, the $nMessage_id is empty, even though the Json is logged as coming back fine. So, somewhere in the ConvertFrom-Json or $ResponseBody.message_id the value is going missing...
I have no explanation, but if - for whatever reason - ConvertFrom-Json is the culprit, you can try string manipulation as a workaround to extract the message ID and see if that helps:
$whatStatusJsonContent = '{"message_id":9093813071099257562}'
# Extract the message_id property value as a *string*
# (which you can cast to a numeric type if/as needed).
$message_id = ($whatStatusJsonContent -split '[:}]')[1]
The above stores a string with content 9093813071099257562 in $message_id; note that, as written, the input string must have the exact format as above with respect to whitespace; while it is possible to make the text parsing more robust, not having to worry about format variations is one good reason to use a dedicated parser such as ConvertFrom-Json.
Another option is to try a different JSON parser to see if that helps.
Json.NET is the preeminent JSON parser in the .NET world (which now underlies the JSON cmdlets in PowerShell Core):
$whatStatusJsonContent = '{"message_id":9093813071099257562}'
$message_id = [NewtonSoft.Json.Linq.JObject]::Parse($whatStatusJsonContent).message_id.Value
Note: Json.NET - like ConvetFrom-Json in PowerShell _Core - commendably uses the arbitrary large [bigint] type as well once a number is too large to fit into a [long].
Use of the Json.NET assembly has the added advantage of better performance than the ConvertFrom-Json cmdlet.
In PowerShell Core, you can run the above code as-is (the assembly is preloaded); in Windows PowerShell you'll have to download the package via the link above and add the assembly (NewtonSoft.Json.dll) to your session with Add-Type -LiteralPath.
[1] Curiously, in PowerShell Core, as of (at least) v6.2.0, the smallest type chosen is [long] (System.Int64).
[2] More helpfully, PowerShell Core, as of (at least) v6.2.0, creates an arbitrarily large [bigint] (System.Numerics.BigInteger) instance once a value doesn't fit into a [long] anymore; that is, the [decimal] type is skipped altogether.
You are going to have to convert it, so that PowerShell can understand it. It will convert from a string to a PSCustomObject. Just check by asking the type of the variable before and after.
$ResponseBody.message_id.GetType()
If sometimes the output is nothing, you could do something like:
if($ResponseBody.message_id){
$nMessage_id = $ResponseBody.message_id
}else{
throw "No message id found"
}
Hope this helps.

Insert query failing when using a parameter in the associated select statement in SQL Server CE

INSERT INTO voucher (voucher_no, account, party_name, rece_amt, particulars, voucher_date, voucher_type, cuid, cdt)
SELECT voucher_rec_no, #account, #party_name, #rece_amt, #particulars, #voucher_date, #voucher_type, #cuid, #cdt
FROM auto_number
WHERE (auto_no = 1)
Error:
A parameter is not allowed in this location. Ensure that the '#' sign is in a valid location or that parameters are valid at all in this SQL statement.
I've just stumbled upon this whilst trying to fix the same issue. I know it's late but, assuming that you're getting this error when attempting to execute the query via .net, ensure that you are setting the SqlCeParameter.DbType - if this is not specified, you get the exception you listed above.
Example (assume cmd is a SqlCeCommand - all the stuff is in the System.Data.SqlServerCe namespace):
SqlCeParameter param = new SqlCeParameter();
param.ParameterName = "#SomeParameterName";
param.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
param.DbType = DbType.String; // this is the important bit to avoid the exception
param.Value = kvp.Value;
cmd.Parameters.Add(param);
Obviously, you'd want to set the DB type to match the type of your parameter.

Handle badarg in Erlang

I am very new to the Erlang and I am getting badarg error when I try to convert binary to string as shown below.
Prefix = binary:bin_to_list(wh_json:get_ne_value(<<"prefix">>, Patterns)),
where Patterns are:
Pattern1--> {[{<<"prefix">>,<<>>},{<<"callerId">>,<<"1001">>},{<<"cid_regex">>,<<"^\\+?1001">>}]}
Pattern2--> {[{<<"prefix">>,<<"12">>},{<<"callerId">>,<<"1001">>},{<<"cid_regex">>,<<"^\\+?1001">>}]}
for Pattern2 it works fine but for Pattern1 I am getting this error because prefix does not have any value in Pattern1.
So, can any one tell me how I can handle this situation where prefix value can be null or any value, it should work for both the conditions.
Check whether wh_json:get_ne_value returns undefined before calling binary:bin_to_list:
Prefix =
case wh_json:get_ne_value(<<"prefix">>, Patterns) of
undefined ->
prefix_not_found;
BinaryPrefix when is_binary(BinaryPrefix) ->
binary:bin_to_list(BinaryPrefix)
end

lua : passing parameter to other function problem

not sure did anyone ever face this kind of problem. here is my code
in main.lua :
local highScore = require("highScore")
local username = "myName"
local finishedTime = 12345
highScore:InsertHighScore(userName, finishedTime)
in highScore.lua
function InsertHighScore(name,time)
print(name)
print(time)
-- other code
end
it look simple and shouldn't be wrong, but in my console out put it show :
table: 0x19e6340
myName
after a day of testing, i found that before the 2 parameter that i pass, it actually passing another table to me, so do these changes on highScore.lua:
function InsertHighScore(table,name,time)
print(table)
print(name)
print(time)
-- other code
end
so now my "other code" can work nicely, but why it pass me a table before my parameter ?
In Lua, a call to an object/table with a colon instead of a dot indicates that the object/table should be passed into the function as the first parameter (e.g, as a self). If you don't care about that, then call the function with a dot instead:
highScore.InsertHighScore(userName, finishedTime)
