Visual Studio For Mac (Preview) - 3rd-party Addin Location #37

Closed sushihangover closed 7 years ago

sushihangover commented 7 years ago

Is the correct install Addin location(?):

~/Library/Application Support/VisualStudio-7.0/LocalInstall/Addins

Also is there a way to bootstrap the install of the AddinMaker for VS4M since mdtool.exe is not available in the install ?

mdtool.exe.mdb and mdtool.xml are in the bin dir.

pwd
/Applications/Visual Studio.app/Contents/Resources/lib/monodevelop/bin
foobar:bin sushi$ ls -l mdtool.*
-rw-r--r--  1 sushi  admin  1847 Nov 16 04:40 mdtool.exe.mdb
-rw-r--r--  1 sushi  admin   123 Nov 16 04:40 mdtool.xml

@sushihangover, were you able to to make some progress on this? I'm trying to learn how to create an add-in for Visual Studio For Mac.

sushihangover commented 7 years ago

@markmadlangbayan mdtool.exe is still not available (preview 2), I'm assuming this is intentional...

You can manually setup an Addin project w/o using this Addin, this just makes it sooooo much easier ;-).

If you have never written Addins for Monodevelop/Xamarin Studio, I would recommend writing an Addin for Xamarin.Studio 6.x first using this Addin to setup your project so you understand what is required...

After that you can create a manual project for VS4M (v7) and reference the required assemblies in your project from the "/Applications/Visual Studio.app/Contents/Resources/lib/monodevelop/bin" directory. Buyer beware of course as the Addin API might be in flux sine this is "preview" software....

Btw you can use mdtool provided with xamarin 6 to publish plugin for VS4M

The install location is ~/Library/Application Support/VisualStudio/7.0/LocalInstall/Addins, and mdtool has been replaced by vstool.
