Easiest way to access Splunk API from VS 2017

[stufty]

environment:
Windows 10, VS pro 2017 v 15.3.3,
Create a console application,
using nuget, I installed Splunk.Client v 2.2.0, which required System.Collections.Immutable v1.3.1
edit Program.c to have this:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    { Read(); }

    private static async void Read()
    {
        Service splunkService = await GetCloudService();
        Job job = await splunkService.Jobs.CreateAsync("search index=* | head 10");
        using (SearchResultStream stream = await job.GetSearchResultsAsync())
        { }
    }

    private static async Task<Service> GetCloudService()
    {
        Service splunkService = new Service(new Uri("https://localhost:8089"));
        await splunkService.LogOnAsync("admin", "changeme");
        return splunkService;
    }

It complies, but it does not run, gets this error:

Description: An assembly (probably "Splunk.CLient") must be rewritten using the code contracts binary rewriter (CCRewrite) because it is calling Contract.Requires and the CONTRACTS_FULL symbol is defined.Remove any explicit definitions of the CONTRACTS_FULL symbol from your project and rebuild.

Do I really have to rebuild Splunk.Client? Is there another package I should be using? Any help will be greatly appreciated. I also tried with Splunk Client v2.2.7 and immutable v1.4.0 with the same results.

I tried to tag with Splunk.Client to no avail.

Thanks - Steve

Hi niketnilay,

I posted my GitHub link to the bottom of the link you just supplied. I tried posting my GitHub link here, but apparently, I do not have the chops required to post a link to the answers. Perhaps I can post now to a comment - here goes:

@stufty, can you check out the following thread?

https://github.com/splunk/splunk-sdk-csharp-pcl/issues/42

Either try with Splunk Client 2.2.5 or check the latest updates in the thread.

If the issue is not resolved, I would recommend adding as much details to reproduce as possible.

To Reproduce:

*) Open Visual studio (2017 or 2015)
*) Create a new console application,
*) Using nuget manager, install Splunk.Client v 2.2.0, which requires System.Collections.Immutable v1.3.1
*) Edit Program.c to have the code above.:
*) Add #include Splunk.Client to Program.c at the top of the file
*) Build (this works OK)
*) Debug --> this dies before first instruction is executed

Thanks - Steve

Hello niketnilay,

Thanks for the quick response.

I have tried Splunk.Client v2.2.5 as you suggested with no luck
I have also tried v2.2.7 with no success.

I have also tried Visual Studio 2015, as the Code Contracts could not be found on VS 2017.

The link you mention is for VS2015 and talks about checking the "Perform Runtime Contract Checking", and when I tried that the project would not build, as I got this error (even running as administrator):
The command ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Contracts\Bin\ccrewrite.exe" "@SplunkCLientccrewrite.rsp"" exited with code -1. SplunkCLient

What version of Visual Studio and Splunk.Client should I be using?
