CppCustomVisualizer doesn't work when building x64 config (following instructions) #71

Closed akbyrd closed 2 years ago

akbyrd commented 2 years ago

Step 3 here says to build Debug x64. However, this does not appear to work. Building Debug x86 does work as expected. Might just be a typo in the instructions since the Build-x64.targets file implies the solution is expected to build in x86.

When I build and launch Debug x64 it appears to work, but there's no custom visualization and I can't put breakpoints in CppCustomVisualizer code. image

Presumably this is because the vsix is not set to build in this configuration. If I attempt to build the vsix project explicitly I get an error because it's trying to copy x86 output that doesn't exist.

Error VSSDK1025 Could not add the file 'D:\Dev\ConcordExtensibilitySamples\CppCustomVisualizer\Debug\x86\CppCustomVisualizer.vsdconfig' to the zip package 'D:\Dev\ConcordExtensibilitySamples\CppCustomVisualizer\Debug\CppCustomVisualizer.vsix'. Could not find a part of the path 'D:\Dev\ConcordExtensibilitySamples\CppCustomVisualizer\Debug\x86\CppCustomVisualizer.vsdconfig'. vsix D:\Dev\ConcordExtensibilitySamples\CppCustomVisualizer\vsix\VSSDK 1

These instructions are for 2022. If you are targeting 2019 you will want to use the VS16 branch, and you will want to look at the older version of various wiki pages.
