NuGet packages manager

[BachiMjavanadze]

At the moment it's not possible to add a package by clicking on the Add package button. Hope it's a upcoming feature.

I suggest show this window when clicking on the Add package button:

If it's not impossible then please add settings that gives ability to call any other extension when you click on the Add package button:

"vssolution.NugetackageExternalExtention": "nugetpackagemanagergui"

I would take this extension.

You can already search and add nuget packages in other faster way:

[BachiMjavanadze]

@fernandoescolar In my case when I click on Add package button nothing happens, I can't see this pop-up window

[fernandoescolar]

Could you check if you have any nuget.config file in the root folder of the project or in its parent folders?

[BachiMjavanadze]

No, I do not have any nuget.config file

[BachiMjavanadze]

by the way, package remove button works correctly

[fernandoescolar]

And Can you see any error in the developer tools console after clicking in the add package button?

[BachiMjavanadze]

No Output, no terminal messages are shown

[wlwatkins]

same, not sure what a CPS (dotnet core) project type is as it neither works with ASP.NET CORE empty nor console app

[nev-21]

same problem here, popup doesn't appear after click on + button or "Add package"

[fernandoescolar]

same, not sure what a CPS (dotnet core) project type is as it neither works with ASP.NET CORE empty nor console app

Any project you can create with this tool is a CPS project. If your project it is not CPS, you should not see the "+" button or the "add package" menu option.

About the issue, I can't reproduce it so I can't help, could you please provide some log error in the Dev Tools or output panel related to it?

Debug

Hi @fernandoescolar, I just download v0.7.3 and debugged it.

• I make a sibling folder with a sln that contains a simple console csproj
• I add to launch.json this: "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/../../../test/"
• F5
• Press +, nothing happens (popup don't appear)
• Press "Add package" nothing happens

Then I tried with a breakpoint:

• Put a breakpoint at this line: https://github.com/fernandoescolar/vscode-solution-explorer/blob/48d4f1ff9f66b36d11b7a37435679d2445ed3d13/src/commands/AddPackageCommand.ts#L16
• It stop at that point when click on "+".
• the project types is "cps" so, it return true
• Then it execute the getActions method of the command: https://github.com/fernandoescolar/vscode-solution-explorer/blob/ece6ac31a9afd3767358e687f825ada4d3fcea1b/src/SolutionExplorerCommands.ts#L70

getActions() method when click on "+" or "Add package":

• breakpoint on projectFullPath returns the correct path (line 22).
• breakpoint on this.wizard return a value (line 23)
• breakpoint on if (!parameters) is never reached (line 29)
• so the problem is on line 28: https://github.com/fernandoescolar/vscode-solution-explorer/blob/48d4f1ff9f66b36d11b7a37435679d2445ed3d13/src/commands/AddPackageCommand.ts#L28

wizard.run():

• following the stack I arrived this method: getNugetFeeds(projectPath: string) https://github.com/fernandoescolar/vscode-solution-explorer/blob/48d4f1ff9f66b36d11b7a37435679d2445ed3d13/src/extensions/nuget.ts#L24

• breakpoint on line 25 is reached (the press F5)

• breakpoint on line 72 never reached

• so the problem is inside that do-while:

THE REAL PROBLEM: do-while

• The projectPath is computed correctly
• The nugetConfigPath in the first loop is wrong: "c:\\Users\\...\\Downloads\\vscode-solution-explorer-0.7.3\\test\\cli/nuget.config" NOTICE THE SLASH /
• exists is false, I don't nuget.config file, but even if I have it, the slash / obviously cause "exists" become false.
• in the second loop, the path is: "c:\\Users\\...\\Downloads\\vscode-solution-explorer-0.7.3\\test/nuget.config"
• in the third loop: "c:\\Users\\...\\Downloads\\vscode-solution-explorer-0.7.3/nuget.config"
• and so on, until the while was stuck on: c:\\/nuget.config
• I put a console log and each time I press "+" an infinite while loop starts.

CONCLUSION:

the while is infinite, and the / cause problems.

[fernandoescolar]

This is very useful. It seems I didn’t think in windows filesystem when I’m looking for a the nuget.config files.

Thank you very much!

On Windows 10 I still can't add new package, can't see this pop-up window

[nev-21]

I tested the new release (v0.7.4) in windows 11 it works perfectly.

[BachiMjavanadze]

Ok, I think reason was VSCode portable mode, on regular VSCode everything works... but even on portable version everything works except installing packages

[BachiMjavanadze]

After reinstalling VSCode portable mode everything works fine. Thanks!
