"Use previews of the .NET Core SDK" Error Trying to Use Template #47

Closed kyleherzog closed 4 years ago

kyleherzog commented 4 years ago

My template project is giving an error when I try to use it. The message is 'To create this project type, go to Tools | Options | Environment | Preview Features and check "Use previews of the .NET Core SDK"'. Selecting the previews option does not resolve the error though, even after restarting Visual Studio.

I can recreate the error doing the following. I create a new asp.net core 2.2 MVC app. I create the template with the an Identity of Blah.Template.CSharp and a Group identity of Blah.Template. I then add the Template Pack Project Template (SideWaffle) project to the solution. Running this now works fine. However if i try to rename the template I start getting the error. To rename it, in the template.json, I am modifying the identity and groupIdentity values. In the template.vstemplate file, I'm modifying the TemplateID and $groupid$ values to match what was entered in the template.json. Running this throws the error listed above. I have tried resetting my experiment instance as well, but same result.

I'm running Visual Studio Enterprise 2019, (v16.3.9) with SideWaffle Template Creator 0.5.

Apparently, there is some kind of extension caching going on in VS.? If I update the version number in .vsixmanifest, the issue goes away. I had been resetting my experimental instance between runs, but evidently that is not enough of a fresh start.
