Help! I think there is a bug in the latest version 4.4.13 of cTrader

When I create a new cBot I can build it within cTrader with no problems.
However, when I try to compile it with the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 (Version 17.3.6) I get the following error in VS' Output Window:

Build started...
1>------ Build started: Project: cBotTest, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
1>cBotTest -> C:\Users\HMz\Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Robots\cBotTest\cBotTest\bin\Debug\net48\cBotTest.dll
1>C:\Users\HMz\.nuget\packages\ctrader.automate\1.0.3\build\cTrader.Automate.targets(62,9): error CT0001: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
1>Done building project "cBotTest.csproj" -- FAILED.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I tried to change .Net Framework from 6.0 to 4.x back an forth ==> Same error.
Rebuild started...
1>------ Rebuild All started: Project: cBotTest, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
Restored C:\Users\HMz\Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Robots\cBotTest\cBotTest\cBotTest.csproj (in 98 ms).
1>cBotTest -> C:\Users\HMz\Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Robots\cBotTest\cBotTest\bin\Debug\net6.0\cBotTest.dll

1>Done building project "cBotTest.csproj" -- FAILED.
========== Rebuild All: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

And because the cBot cannot be compiled with Visual Studio, IT CANNOT BE DEBUGGED with VS :-(

Same issue

I have similar issue, after some time working on cBot in VS 2022, it stopped building despite that there are no errors found prior to the build.

After the build I get this:

Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. File: cTrader.Automate.Targets

Dear traders,

Thanks for reporting this issue. The team is aware of it and working on a solution. In the meanwhile, you need to downgrade the cTrader Automate package to 1.0.2.

Best regards,

Hi there,

1. Open your project in Visual Studio

2. Go to Package Manager Console

3. Execute NuGet\Uninstall-Package cTrader.Automate -Version 1.0.3

4. Execute NuGet\Install-Package cTrader.Automate -Version 1.0.2

Best regards,

cTrader Team
