How does the bootData section work for web?

[DanielHabenicht]

Hi,
I tried implementing the bootData section for your example project:

    // Providing implementation for 'GetHostName' function declared in 'HelloWorld' C# assembly.
    dotnet.HelloWorld.GetHostName = () => "Browser";

    async function loadfile(path) {
        response = await fetch(path);
        // Examine the text in the response
        buffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
        return Base64.fromUint8Array(new Uint8Array(buffer));
    }

    window.onload = async function () {
        allfiles = [
            "Microsoft.JSInterop.WebAssembly.dll",
            "System.Collections.Concurrent.dll",
            "System.Private.Runtime.InteropServices.JavaScript.dll",
            "System.Collections.dll",
            "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web.dll",
            "System.Memory.dll",
            "Microsoft.JSInterop.dll",
            "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.dll",
            "System.Runtime.dll",
            "System.Text.Json.dll",
            "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.dll",
            "System.Private.Uri.dll",
            "System.Private.CoreLib.dll",
            "System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.dll",
            "System.Console.dll",
            "DotNetJS.dll",
            "System.Text.Encodings.Web.dll",
            "HelloWorld.dll",
        ];
        assemblies = [];
        for (let i = 0; i < allfiles.length; i++) {
            assemblies.push({
                name: allfiles[i],
                data: await loadfile("Project/bin/Debug/net6.0/" + allfiles[i]),
            });
        }
        // Booting the DotNet runtime and invoking entry point.
        const bootData = {
            wasm: await loadfile("Project/bin/Debug/net6.0/dotnet.wasm"),
            assemblies: assemblies,
            entryAssemblyName: "HelloWorld.dll",
        };
        await dotnet.boot(bootData);
        // Invoking 'GetName()' C# method defined in 'HelloWorld' assembly.
        const guestName = dotnet.HelloWorld.GetName();
        console.log(`Welcome, ${guestName}! Enjoy your global space.`);
    };

But I always get this error, any idea why?

dotnet.js:488 Uncaught (in promise) RuntimeError: abort(TypeError: WebAssembly.instantiate(): Import #0 module="a" error: module is not an object or function). Build with -s ASSERTIONS=1 for more info.
    at abort (dotnet.js:488:25)
    at dotnet.js:542:25

Remark:
I also tried the Project/bin/Debug/net6.0/publish/wwwroot/_framework/ Path.

Hi, Check this from the test suite: https://github.com/Elringus/DotNetJS/blob/cad9a87854fd860203d25991a55bb3a68fa11229/JavaScript/dotnet-runtime/test/csharp.js#L18 It creates the boot data for the test cs project.

In your case it's probably failing because you're using dotnet.wasm from the .NET SDK, which is not supported at the moment due to #20

That was lightning fast!
Thanks, yes it was.
I was already looking at the test but failed to notice the native/ path.
