Better support / Need more specific error for offline use

mrlacey opened this issue · 3 comments

"Error updating templates. See output for more details." is not helpful enough. Can we add a more specific error if unable to download templates as offline.
Would also be good to add a retry option without having to close the wizard.

Repro:

  • Install VSIX
  • Go offline
  • File > New > WTS

nothing downloads and have to close our dialog and the Choose Project type dialog before can see the output window. :(

Agreed, we need better offline support. If you have a cached version, it should continue to run.

Changing the milestone on this as a real report of this problem was marked for addressing as a critical bug fix.

I'm assiging this to myself as I will be working on it.
