Tools>Export>NinjaScript Add-on Locks Up

Hi, I've got a script that compiles fine, but the export function locks up and never finishes. The rest of NT works fine.

Hello shildebrand324,

Thanks for your post.

This behavior could be caused by a third-party script being referenced.

Please follow the steps below to create a clean environment to test exporting your AddOn.

Creating a clean environment can be done by following the steps below:

1. Close NinjaTrader 8, and rename the "NinjaTrader 8" folder in My Documents to something like: "NinjaTrader 8 OLD"
2. Uninstall NinjaTrader from the Windows Control Panel and reinstall using the installer from http://ninjatrader.com/PlatformDirect
3. Add the required indicators and test the template.

If you ever need to switch back to your original platform, you may do so by closing NinjaTrader and swapping the platform folder names.
For example, Close NinjaTrader and rename the new "NinjaTrader 8" folder to "NinjaTrader 8 NEW" and the "NinjaTrader 8 OLD" folder to "NinjaTrader 8." Then restart the platform. Simply put: NinjaTrader 8 will always load the "NinjaTrader 8" folder in My Documents.

After creating a clean environment, manually import your AddOn files to the clean environment folder and test exporting the AddOn from the clean environment.

Let me know if I may assist further.

Yikes, that's a lot of work. This export fine on last Friday, and nothing has changed. This script doesn't have any 3rd party references.

Hello shildebrand324,

Thanks for your note.

You would need to follow the steps listed in post # 2 to test exporting the AddOn from a clean environment to ensure no other files are causing an issue.

Please follow the steps in post # 2 and report your findings.

Are you able to export the script without issue when testing in a clean environment?

Let me know if I may assist further.

I went to Tool>Remove NinjaScript Assembly and removed unused dll's and it fixed the issue.
