This is driving me nuts.

On one machine VS 2002 fails to build v2_develop.

dotnet build at the command line builds it successfully.

Just installed VS 2002 (non-preview).

Builds fine.

Whenever VS gets THIS angry, I delete the .vs folders as well.

Sometimes a reboot may be necessary before that, if VS or some extension has leaked a file handle or whatever and windows still thinks things are in use that aren't. Good times.

Worst case, I rename the local repo folder and re-clone, then copy all .cs files back in.

Thankfully that's a pretty rare occurrence.

Oh and the file locksmith component of the MS Powertools for windows (free and open source) can usually identify why a file is locked.

FWIW, I did a fresh clone of Terminal.Gui and it reproduces on that.

The build or the tests?

Sporadic test failures occur for me all the time. Mostly thread-safety related. Sometimes they happen. Sometimes they don't. I end up re-running like 200 tests most of the time and they work when not competing with other tests.

Oh good. So you're back in business, then?

I use preview (they call theM EAP) builds of R#, once they get to EAP 2 or 3, because they're usually stable enough and add support for something new in .net or c# that I really want to use or have some bug fix for something I've encountered. And I've at least never been bitten directly by a defect of an EAP build, but I have rolled back before, and that's quick and painless with their little system tray app.

But VS? I stopped using preview VS versions several years ago due to rather frequent experiences like you described.

The last time I installed a preview of VS, it was on a VM dedicated to it...which never got used so I deleted it.

And even when things don't ask me to, I usually re-install all my on-trivial extensions, including R#, after most VS updates, just to be sure the VS installer didn't clobber something that some extension depends on.

Although some of what MS has already said about .net9 sure does look nice to me!

Using the release version of VS2022 builds fine.

Using the preview, still fails.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the preview. No joy.

Yeah, that first error message is true, but the second one is more important.

Did you happen to try putting an explicit cast to (string?) on that null?

dodexahedron Mar 7, 2024

Even in stable VS, there are plenty of times you have to hold the compiler's hand to get it to handle what, to the human, is a pretty obvious type inference for a collection expression.

I know one of their goals for VNext is to improve on that, so I'd speculate that bug is related and might be a consequence of the parser being better elsewhere. But whoever wrote tests for it probably didn't include one with the one-element-and-it-is-null case like this. 😉

At my other machine now. It has Version 17.9.0 Preview 5.0 on it. So this must just be a bug in Version 17.10.0 Preview 1.0.

Sigh.
