[Question] How to add bal:overridable for Variable with wix#

[maratoss]

Hi, i am using wix# 1.9.3
i run bundle.exe from command line
and want to pass variable to my Bundle.exe bundle like this
and seems Variable should have Overridable attribute:
cmd> Bundle.exe SITECONFIGURATION=blabla

i added variable for my bundle:
new Variable("SITECONFIGURATION") { AttributesDefinition = "bal:Overridable=yes" },

but get the compilation error:
Unhandled Exception: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.ApplicationException: Cannot resolve custom attribute definition:bal:Overridable=yes 3> at WixSharp.AutoElements.ExpandCustomAttributes(XDocument doc, WixProject project) 3> at WixSharp.Compiler.BuildWxs(Bundle project) 3> at WixSharp.Compiler.Build(Bundle project, String path) 3> at WixSharp.Bootstrapper.Bundle.Build(String path)

Could you help me with it?
Thanks!

this works but anyway want to do it without that xml injection :)

code:

bundle.WixSourceGenerated += document =>
{
	var variable = document
		.Descendants()
		.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "Variable" && x.HasAttribute("Name", "SITECONFIGURATION"));

	if (variable != null)
	{
		variable.Add(new XAttribute("{http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension}Overridable", "yes"));
		Console.WriteLine(variable);
	}
};

cmd:
bundle.exe /i SITECONFIGURATION=ALALALALALALALALLAA -log log.txt

logs:
[4AF0:6C58][2019-02-02T19:59:00]i000: Setting string variable 'SITECONFIGURATION' to value 'ALALALALALALALALLAA'

The next release will also have the fix for a minor bug in AttributesDefinition support that will enable the following syntax for the cases when the additional (unsupported) attributes require the use of XML namespaces:

bootstrapper.Variables = new[]
{
    new Variable("BundleVariable", "333")
    {
        AttributesDefinition = "{http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension}Overridable=yes"
    }
};
