Trying to add "serialisation" from Anvil Extras

I would like to add serialisation from Anvil Extras. (Serialisation — Anvil Extras documentation)

I tried to follow directions provided from Anvil Extras at Installation — Anvil Extras documentation

Unfortunately, their directions no longer appear to match the interface provided by Anvil through the Gear>Dependences>Third Party form.

I should have access to Anvil Extras through my professional account.

Any advice on next steps? Thank you in advance.

Seems to be working for me.

Here is where you add it:

Now this is only a server library, what errors are you seeing exactly?

Thanks. That helped! But I still run into this:

The system won’t let me proceed when I paste in the Anvil Extra’s code. Okay, I paste it in, but then the Resolve button below becomes unselectable.

Do you have other dependencies?
Does your app depend on another app that depends on Anvil Extras?

Stefano, I have installed no 3rd party apps yet, and so far as I know there are no other dependencies at play.

Try to:

  • create a new app
  • click on the gear on the left
  • click on dependencies
  • click on third party
  • paste the id
  • press enter

If it works this way (I have just tried and it works for me), then the problem may be with the app you are working on.

If it doesn’t work, then the problem may be with your account, and you will need to contact the support.

Pressing Enter is likely the part that’s missing.
We should probably fix that since it’s not the first time hearing this has caught someone out.

That’s what I thought, and that’s why I explicitly listed it.

But he’s showing a warning message that I’ve never seen, not even when forgetting to press enter.

That dialogue comes up if you click the edit icon next to the dependency

What does @drew.carson see before the icon comes up?

Thank you all. I may have pressed the pencil at some point, but now I don’t recall. The thing that really stopped me was that the button for being able to submit my request to proceed was grayed out, and it wasn’t selectable. I since moved on with my project and and just working to pull rows using Table search and query.
