[Issue] VSLinuxDebug no more working after recent VS updates

[massimoappi-asacsrl]

Hello, thanks for this great tool!

I noticed that starting from latest VS upgrades (last month) the tool is not working anymore.

When I do Extensions/Linux Debugger/Build and Deploy, on the "Linux Debugger" output window, after the "Build was successful" I get the error message "An error occurred during the build process. Unable to find method 'Void Renci.SshNet.PrivateKeyAuthenticationMethod..ctor(System.String, Renci.SshNet.PrivateKeyFile[])'"

It's crear to me thas something changed from the VS environment side, not from the tool side, because the problems started after a VS update. I already tried to uninstall/reinstall plugin, but nothing changed.

So I cloned the project to my PC, opened the solution in VS, updated all the NuGet packages, including the SSH.NET to the version 2024.0.0 (wich is the component I mind is raising the above error).

After the update some code started to not compile anymore.. but with a few corrections and a comment-out of

  public static void SetupConnection(ConnectionInfo connection)
  {
    //connection.HostKeyAlgorithms[RSA_SHA2_256] = data => new KeyHostAlgorithm(RSA_SHA2_256, new RsaKey(), data);
  }

(I don't know how to correct), the project now compile well, and the new .vsix package now works well and the Build and Deploy is successfully (also the debug!!)

Please, update the NuGet packages, correct the commented code (I'm not an expert in this) and release a new tools version for everyone's interested!

Thanks

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Just to make sure, which version of Visual Studio are you using? This way I can attempt to version match. Currently, I'm still running on v17.8.6
