Symptoms

Attempting to build a very simple DayZ mod, I get the following error log within the app itself (mirrored in the proton log too):

2024-12-19 17:28:43,622 [ERROR] 52: AddonBuilder.Builder.Run - System.NotImplementedException: The method or operation is not implemented.

With my limited understanding (and loathing) of .NET, I imagine this might be happening because the Proton-provided .NET DLLs (Mono presumably?) would not be defining this specific method? Would make sense on the surface, however Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystemOperation.Delete feels like such a basic function to not have implemented 😕.

Reproduction

I doubt this whole setup is necessary to reproduce it. I am pretty sure that creating a basic .NET app that calls the Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystemOperation.Delete method would suffice. However, for reference here's the exact steps I took:

1. Install DayZ
2. Install DayZ Tools
3. Follow the Modding setup here, and create a basic mod.
4. Attempt to pack the mod (Section Packing the mod)

Yeah that'd be this project specifically: https://gitlab.winehq.org/mono/mono-basic

Looks like what's unimplemented is sending to Recycle Bin specifically: https://gitlab.winehq.org/mono/mono-basic/-/blob/main/vbruntime/Microsoft.VisualBasic/Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO/FileSystemOperation.vb#L316
