is support vs2017?

randomascii commented 7 years ago

The installer warns that VS 2017 is not supported and that installing VsChromium for VS 2017 could cause instability. I'm trying to move towards using VS 2017 and it would be great to get VS Chromium support for VS 2017.

I did some testing, and VsChromium seems to work fine with VS 2017. The warning from the installer is just that... a warning. The reason there is a warning is that the vsix manifest format has been updated for VS 2017, and VS 2017 "blindly" warns when trying to use any extension that does not expose the new format (source: http://www.visualstudioextensibility.com/2017/01/10/its-time-to-change-the-vsix-manifest-of-your-extension-to-v3-for-visual-studio-2017-compatibility/).

I need to spend some time to figure out how to upgrade the manifest format, but VS 2017 hung when I tried to load the vs-chromium solution (after a failed conversion), so it does not look like it is as easy/trivial as I had hoped.

Good to hear. I'm using it in VS 2017 and so far it's looking promising.
