BIDS Helper encountered an error when Visual Studio started version 2.3.7 #98

Closed owlmonki closed 4 years ago

owlmonki commented 4 years ago

I have added the versions I have of everything from About at the bottom.

I get this error when I open up Visual Studio 2019 Pro and go to Tools -> Options -> BIDS Helper image

Error message:

I actually found the above error after I got the first one when I right clicked on my cube and chose Deploy MDX script in Solution Explorer and got the error message as seen below, and also, the BIDS button I used to have next to Calculation properties in the Calculations tab has disappeared. Second error message as follows: image

The versions I have are: Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019 Version 16.5.5

Same Issue.

I believe it is from the SSDT Extensions SSAS 2.9.9

Good news is I believe we found the root cause that BI Developer Extensions doesn’t work once a new SSDT release comes out. We have a new build in final testing and will be releasing a fix soon. Thanks for reporting.

Release 2.3.8 for VS2017 and VS2019 is available in the Visual Studio Gallery. It should auto-update or you can manually update from Tools… Extensions and Updates… in VS2017 or Extensions... Manage Extensions in VS2019. Please comment here is this doesn't solve the problems reported in this thread. We hope it will be more stable now.
