We are not able to reproduce this issue. Does it only happen in an offline system for you or can you reproduce it when on a connected system?

jcapriot commented 8 months ago

I am also having this same issue. I am unable to create any project using the Heatwave Extension,

HeatWave Version

1.0.2.1

Visual Studio Version

17.8.5

I have been trying (but failing) to find any more relevant debug information to provide you with more details about the bug report, but literally the only thing is the message reported above.

Some things I've tried

Uninstall/Reinstall
Start VS with administrative privileges
Updated Visual Studio

Placing the solution and project in different directories

This successfully creates a folder with the Solution Name
Creates a single hidden file in a hidden folder for the solution .vs\Solution Name\v17\.suo

Creates a solution file with:

# Visual Studio Version 17
VisualStudioVersion = 17.8.34511.84
MinimumVisualStudioVersion = 10.0.40219.1
Global
GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
HideSolutionNode = FALSE
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
SolutionGuid = {40E0039B-998E-4D2F-B63B-8F8DD76A364E}
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal

Does not create any other files or directories

Placing the solution and project in the same directories
- This doesn't create any files or folders.

We tried it on another offline system (VM Ware Workstation) and it was possible to create a new project there.

The error is therefore due to the specific system, but we could not find any relevant logs. Is there a special directory with relevant logs to find the error?

firegiantco commented 7 months ago

It feels like there is a missing component on the failing system. You could run the Visual Studio Installer and from its main screen select More -> Export Configuration. That will spit out a .vsconfig that you could compare between the two systems.

talaviram commented 5 months ago

Is there anywhere where it is written what are the required components ?

cjt-westwoodps commented 5 months ago

I'm having the same issue.

HeatWave Version 1.0.2.1

Visual Studio Version 17.9.4

System Windows 11 23H2

I've tried all the same things reported by others to no avail:

Uninstall/Reinstall
Start VS with administrative privileges
Updated Visual Studio
Placing the solution and project in different directories

I can't find any relevant VS logs to indicate what the problem might be. I am able to create other solutions but nothing from the FireGiant WixToolset.

FireGiantHelp commented 5 months ago

The log file shows the expected HeatWave dependencies. There are many ways to configure workloads in Visual Studio so we are hoping that evaluating failing VS configurations will enable us to find possible missing dependencies. Open the Visual Studio Installer, click More then Export Configuration) and attach the .vsconfig to this issue.

fishnet37222 commented 5 months ago

I'm also seeing this issue. I've attached my .vsconfig file as requested. vsconfig.txt

cjt-westwoodps commented 5 months ago

Here is my .vsconfig file. Please let me know if I can provide any more information. vsconfig.txt

rspcoding commented 5 months ago

Our Visual Studio has now been updated to 17.8.8 and I have installed the latest HeatWave version 1.0.3. However, the error still persists.

Attached is the .vsconfig file from my system. vsconfig.txt

Strahbehry commented 5 months ago

Same issue with 17.9.5

Hi, I am encountering the same issue after updating from 17.6.x to 17.9.5 with Heatwave 1.0.2.1

I also dug in the ActivityLog.xml of Visual Studio and found this error detailing it (sorry as it is in french):

Follow up, upgrading to Heatwave 1.0.3 fixed the issue.

Strahbehry commented 5 months ago

Heatwave 1.0.3 doesn't work for me with 17.9.5 weirdly enough though

FireGiantHelp commented 5 months ago

We just released HeatWave v1.0.4 and this issue should be fixed there. If an exception is thrown, it is most likely a new issue so please open a new issue and attach Visual Studio's ActivityLog.xml to provide enough context to differentiate issues.
