How to fix this issue while trying to attach event receiver via powershell?

Question

I tying to attach event receiver via powershell but facing this issue:

$list = (get-spweb http://site/it).lists['IT Support Request']
$def = $list.EventReceivers.Add() 
$def.Assembly = "$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" 
$def = $list.EventReceivers.Add()
$def.Assembly = "$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$"
$def.Class = "esolution_STG.CreateITSupportTicket.CreateITSupportTicket"
$def.Type = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventReceiverType]::ItemUpdated
$def.Name = "CreateITSupportTicketItemUpdated";
$def.Synchronization = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventReceiverSynchronization]::Synchronous
$def.Update()

Here is the issue:

Exception calling "Update" with "0" argument(s): "Could n assembly '.Project.AssemblyFullName$' or one of its depen cannot find the file specified." At line:1 char:1 + $def.Update() + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], Metho + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException

Use fully qualified name of your assembly (e.g. MyNamespace.MyAssembly, version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089) instead of $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$ . Here is a guide on how to get it from within Visual Studio. As far as I know, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$ can only be used decoratively (XML).

Keep in mind that your code is adding two event receivers and only the last one is updated:

$def = $list.EventReceivers.Add() $def.Assembly = "$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" $def = $list.EventReceivers.Add() $def.Assembly = "$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$"
