Hi,

You can change the cTrader compiler from embedded to SDK from cTrader Settings -> Automate tab.

Thanks for sharing this with me but it's not fixing the Error CT0001. Furthermore, I asked if it's possible to control whether the dotnet build should include the source code or not by using build properties passed as a parameter.

Amusleh, if you don't have an answer then let me know. I feel like many of my questions are being ignored making me repeat the same question multiple times hoping for an answer. I would highly appreciate it if we can make the communication more efficient.

Hi,

I tested implicit usings and XML comments, they work if you select the SDK compiler,

So if you change the compiler from embedded to SDK both of those issues will be resolved, and regarding building with source code, you can build with source code with SDK compiler from cTrader itself if you change the compiler to SDK.

And I'm not aware of any parameter that allows building with source code via dotnet CLI.

In my previous message I guided you on how to change the compiler because by changing the compiler both of your issues will be resolved.

Hi,

To build an indicator with source code by using dotnet CLI you can use: 

dotnet build -p:IncludeSource=True

It's not documented anywhere yet, we will add it on Automate API documentation.

On my end, it fixed implicit usings but not comments in the .csproj. Please, try the project below.

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

	<PropertyGroup>
		<TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
		<ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
		<!--<LangVersion>latest</LangVersion>-->
	</PropertyGroup>

	<ItemGroup>
		<PackageReference Include="cTrader.Automate" Version="1.*" />
	</ItemGroup>

</Project>

using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo
{
    [Indicator(AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class ErrorCT0001 : Indicator
    {
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            Print($"The PI value is '{Math.PI}'.");
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index) { }
    }
}

Hi,

I was able to reproduce the issue, it happens only if you put the comment tag inside another child tag like PropertyGroup or ItemGroup, but if you put it outside a child tag it works fine.

We will investigate this issue, thanks for reporting.
