I am having some serious COFFEE blues in version 8.2. I am unable to create PrimitiveObjects. The problem in its simplest form:

Insert the following lines into the Execute method of the MenuPlugin stub supplied with the SDK:

var x = new(PrimitiveObject);
x->SetPrimitiveType(PRIMITIVE_CUBE); // fails here, x is NIL

x is NIL everytime. There is no other code in the example besides the minimum MenuPlugin overrides. COFFEE is not failing completely as I am able to create NullObjects or BooleObjects, for example. Can anyone create a PrimitiveObject? I'm freaked out!!

PS. Even in a COFFEE Expression Tag, the same 2 lines of code will fail... but I am able to create primitives thru the GUI : (

Using the SDK PrimitiveObject example, I replaced PRIMITIVE_CUBE with CubeObject and it still does not work.  What needs to be changed with this example to make it work?
// Creates a cube that's 200x100x300
var cube = new(PrimitiveObject);
cube->SetPrimitiveType(PRIMITIVE_CUBE);

var bc = cube->GetContainer();
bc->SetData(PRIM_CUBE_LEN, vector(200, 100, 300));
cube->SetContainer(bc);

Nono...
var cube = new(CubeObject);
There is no SetPrimitiveType anymore!

You're sure you're using version 8? Your code definitely works...

Yes, I am using V8.207.  I have inserted a null object and and a coffee expression tag.  Placing this code in and compiling and executing produces no errors but does not create a cube.  If I save this code as a COF file I get a (4) Too few parameters error.
main(doc,op)
{
// Creates a cube that's 200x100x300
var cube = new(CubeObject);
var bc = cube->GetContainer();
bc->SetData(PRIM_CUBE_LEN, vector(200, 100, 300));
cube->SetContainer(bc);

You've forgotten to insert the object into the document
doc->InsertObject(cube,NULL,NULL);
