Cannot push upgrade until Package is upgraded to Async Package..

[jzoss]

Hi people.. (I'll pick on these people because you have helped me before @JCKodelESX @ceztko @ddobrev @PureKrome @teebee76)

I am in need of help.. So I went to push an update and I got a nasty surprise.

Basically, they are forcing me to update from synchronous extension to an asynchronous. Now I kinda sorta heard about it maybe.. and I thought that is not a bad thing to do, but I had not idea it was coming. I figured I should be careful with doing something like that because it's all about threading and threading bugs are a pain. Anyway, problem is I can't even do a minor patch release now.

So I ignored what I was suppose to be doing for a while and did the upgrade.. It was not super hard, but not the most fun I've had either.

So what help I could really use right now, is just people to test it. I have .. and it no longer crashes visual studio :) Anyway if I could get a few people to help me test it I'd be way more comfortable releasing it..

it can be found https://github.com/jzoss/Git-Source-Control-Provider/releases/download/GSCP-CI/GitSccProvider.vsix

BONUS: It does seem a bit faster to start up large projects.

🤚 I'll test it out! Downloading it now...

Edit:

Installed, started VS2017 Community .. and it didn't crash. So far so good :) I'll do some coding soon and report back in a few days/week.

Just installed. I'll send my feedback tonight.

[jzoss]

Cool people.. Any initial feedback so far.. It seems fine to me so far..

[ddobrev]

@jzoss I apologize. I forgot about this because nothing's happened since I installed the preview.

[jzoss]

@ddobrev well that's good news. :)

@jzoss been using it since I installed it 4 days ago, plenty of times. No crashes etc. "Just Works". 👍

[jzoss]

Sweet.. and @PureKrome .. if you get the lastest CI build.. it has a character count for comments.

So.. Apparently in my rush to fix things.. I kinda made it not work in Visual Studio 2015.. For a few minutes .. I kinda thought about just cutting off support for 2015.. but alas I went and fixed it. It involved changing around some dependencies .. anyway I figure you all must be using 2017, but if you could get the latest test build here https://github.com/jzoss/Git-Source-Control-Provider/releases/download/GSCP-CI/GitSccProvider.vsix

and keep testing that would be sweet.

@jzoss installed last night, nothing's happened so far.

[jzoss]

Hi all again.. So I had to update a few more references here and there.. and then my visual studio died and I have that fun.. Anyway.. if you coudl try https://github.com/jzoss/Git-Source-Control-Provider/releases/download/GSCP-CI/GitSccProvider.vsix .. It is my plan for this to be the last pre-release build. Hopefully I'll just update the version number and release..

Again thanks @ddobrev and @PureKrome for your help!..

@PureKrome did you notice the comment counter?

[ddobrev]

@jzoss just installed.

[PureKrome]

Just installed latest one (link above). Also loving the character count :)

for those that don't know what @jzoss and I are talking about ....

Also - no problems so far with previous versions installed in the last week/fortnight.
