Unable to save project
Closed this issue · 3 comments
My IDE is set so that when a project is created, it doesn't get saved immediately, giving me a way to discard projects without leaving them on my computer.
Anyway when I create a new Java console app, I get the following error message:
Unable to locate the solution directory. Please ensure that the solution has been saved.
I believe this happens because the project is created in some unknown temp folder elsewhere in the system.
The project is created, but then when I attempt to save it I get this error:
The operation could not be completed
Please fix this, and if you have a chance, please comment on, so I get notified.
I'm not sure this is possible with the Java project system. In order to distribute the entire build system and debugger in a single VSIX file, the extension uses NuGet to install the compiler features into the project after the project is created. NuGet expects the project to exist on disk in order to install packages.
Interesting. It seems the CreateInPlace and/or PromptForSaveOnCreation elements of the project template may be able to override the IDE setting you refer to, forcing the project to be saved when created. While this does not give you exactly the behavior you want, it would prevent the errors from appearing.
I just tested this and setting the PromptForSaveOnCreation element to true forces the New Project dialog to prompt the user for a location in which to save the project. 👍
