schalla27 commented 4 years ago

We upgraded to CodeSmith 8.0 from 5.2. We are using Visual Studio 2019. I was able to upgrade the codesmith .cst templates. The right click menu on Visual studio 2019 solution explorer doesn't show Manage outputs, generate output or any of codesmith right click options for .csp files It shows the right click options in windows explorer for .csp files but not for VS 2019.

See the two screenshots. Do I need to do anything special for the options to show up on VS 2019?

Right click menu from Windows explorer. There are code smith options when I right click on the .csp file.

Windows explorer csp right click

Right click menu on VS 2019. There are no code smith options when I right click on the .csp file

VS2019 right click

Registry for .csp files looks like this

Registry-csp

Thank you

We don't have an eta and we are still blocked by microsoft for visual studio 2019. We need to reevaluate how we are integrating with VS because it's kind of crazy that we are still blocked on this.

I'm closing this as it's not a template issue but something we are blocked on in generator side.
