Unable to replay newly recorded macro #14

Closed hauswij closed 8 years ago

hauswij commented 8 years ago

When I try to create a macro, it says it can not save shortcut to- C:\Users\hauswij\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Macros\Macros

I created this directory by hand and it then can save to this dir with a file name Current.js Next problem I ran into after this was trying to playback the macro. Nothing happens.

I have VS 2015 update 1.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, your first comment is related to Issue #7. The Macros directories need to be initialized, and this occurs when the Macro Explorer is first opened. We are working on a fix for this.

As for replaying the Macro, I found that sometimes it works on the second attempt. Were you able to get it to play on the second (or third) attempt? Are you able to reliably reproduce this?

I tried many times to replay the macro and never saw it run. I tried copying current.js from C:\Users\hauswij\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Macros\Macros To C:\Users\hauswij\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Macros Thinking maybe there was a bug that accidently created 2 macros dirs and it was supposed to be just one.

Thanks Jeff. Yes, we intend to create a Macros/Macros directory. It happens when the Macros Explorer is first opened. And that's where it will look for the Current.js.

Are you able to run any of the other macros? (ie. Insert Date)

Note: I'm renaming this issue.

I just found the samples, I was able to run the ones I clicked on.
