Intellisense in Xamarin Studio 6 doesn't work...

mleader1 opened this issue 9 years ago · 11 comments

As topic says...

I used Xamarin Studio 5.10 it worked; and then I liked the Xamarin Studio 6 visual style so upgraded and compiled DNX addin from this repo - installed without much issue, but the Intellisense stopped working on all files (including c# files, javascript files all files).

Did I miss anything during the compilation or is this a bug?

Thanks.

NOTE: if I create a normal asp.net MVC5 project or any other project types, everything works again. so it might be DNX project specific problem. Any suggestions please...

Which branch did you use? The roslyn branch targets Xamarin Studio 6.0 and it should work with latest monodevelop/master. Not tried it with Xamarin Studio 6.0 preview 4.

Otherwise I would suggest you look in the IDE log (Help - Open Log Directory).

Yes I'm using the Preview 4...

I'll give it a try Preview 3 if I can find the download link otherwise will check out the logs thx

hi @mrward

Yes confirmed - there's no particular error in the IDE log, everything works except intellisense. I have now reverted back to the stable version + DNX which works perfectly... If it is something you can fix that'd be great otherwise I think I'd better wait till there's an official release of the pretty XS 6 :)

cheers.

It looks like this MonoDevelop commit has broken the DNX addin. With the current MonoDevelop the type system excludes all projects that do not have a TypeGuid that matches one of the following:

{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC} = C#
{F184B08F-C81C-45F6-A57F-5ABD9991F28F} = VB.NET

DNX projects have a different TypeGuid so the projects are not used by the type system so there is no code completion.

It looks like I cannot fix this from the DNX addin. If I change the type guid to C# the wrong one will be saved into the solution. I suspect that MonoDevelop 6.0 will need to be changed so the type guids are not hard coded.

looks like we'll have to wait.. it's nice to see all the C# 6.0 is coming into XS but without DNX support I'll have to use Visual Studio VM for now.

Thanks @mrward

@mrward did you open a bugzilla so the MonoDevelop team will be aware of the issue?

Answer 8 · 2016-02-01T14:58:25.000Z

@nathanielcook I have not opened a bug report since both myself and David Karlaš are aware of the problem. We also both work on MonoDevelop 😄
