@ryzngard hmmm, i don't know if that'd be appropriate for most VS extensions, although maybe for some paid extensions i suppose it could be. certainly overkill for my little start page replacement extension though :-) i just wanted to add a little personal touch by greeting the user by their first name

Hello All, anyone has docker container with msbuild tools installed?

@aaabbbcccddd00001111 Why?

Yann Duran

@yannduran

@jnm2 i was wondering what that was about as well

Hide this room.url (https://files.gitter.im/Microsoft/VisualStudio/BbIl/Hide-this-room.url)

I haven't been game to click on it because i have no idea what it would actually do lol

Joseph Musser

@jnm2

It downloads a file named Hide-this-room.url.txt:

[InternetShortcut]
URL=https://gitter.im/Microsoft/VisualStudio#hide

This kind of file could be created by dragging and dropping a URL onto the desktop.

And then, I guess, it was dragged and dropped from the desktop into this text box.

Seems like a failed prank attempt, too unlikely to be an accident.

Yann Duran

@yannduran

@jnm2 weird...

maybe they just wanted to remove the room from their list, and googled something like "remove room from gitter", and when they followed some instructions that was the result. who knows. looks like a throwaway github account, so you might be right about a prank attempt

hi guys, I have a large app that when I debug using VS 2019 it keeps hangs on memory allocation functions. Last time was when calling _malloc_dbg(1605673, 1, fileName, lineNumber). Anyone knows how can I check why those functions are hangings?

What is the smallest component I can add in Visual Studio 2019 to get rc.exe installed?

Denis

@redradist

Hi, guys I have faced with issue Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error NETSDK1045 The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET Core 3.0. Either target .NET Core 2.1 or lower, or use a version of the .NET SDK that supports .NET Core 3.0.

It happens after updated to new Visual Studio 16.2.0

Denis

@redradist

Also there is no Checkbox Use Preview .NET Core

Joseph Musser

@jnm2

@redradist It's there in 16.2.0

Hey all - what components do I need to include when installing vs_buildtools.exe to get cl.exe and vsvarsall? Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools doesn't seem to be enough

Hi, I'm trying to set up a build environment by following the instructions on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/build-tools-container?view=vs-2019
but it's not working. I copied the dockerfile used there but and when I run docker build -t buildtools2019:latest -m 2GB ., I get
the results here

But then I run,

PS C:\Users\circleci\project\windows-ci> docker run --entrypoint "powershell.exe" buildtools2019 ls C:\
docker run --entrypoint "powershell.exe" buildtools2019 ls C:\


    Directory: C:\

where shows that no C:\BuildTools directory was created

@ledettwy

@rnburn try using mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/framework/sdk:4.7.2-20190312-windowsservercore-ltsc2016 as the base

ref: MicrosoftDocs/visualstudio-docs#3404

vs_buildtools.exe has a really nasty habit of silently failing. You can use the collect.exe program (e.g., in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/advanced-build-tools-container?view=vs-2019) to collect logs and copy them out of the container for helping to debug

Austin Parker

@austinlparker

@ledettwy hey, i was working with ryan on this and reproduced it locally, got the following error out of build tools:

PS C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\Temp> cat .\dd_setup_20190806200604_errors.log
[09c0:000a][2019-08-06T20:06:15] Pre-check verification: Visual Studio needs at least 71.6 GB of disk space. Try to free up space on C:\ or change your target drive.
[09c0:000a][2019-08-06T20:06:23] Pre-check verification failed with error(s) :  SizePreCheckEvaluator.

i'm gonna retry with the different base image you linked

Austin Parker

@austinlparker

same error

Johan Larsson

@JohanLarsson

on what repo should I create issues about the vs test runner?

Johan Larsson

@JohanLarsson

not sure test runner is the correct name

Andrew Hall

@ryzngard

@JohanLarsson which issue? My guess is developer community feedback using VS built in feedback system, but I didn't immediately see the context from scrolling up.

Johan Larsson

@JohanLarsson

ok, thanks

the issue is that the runner is not running any test, not sure if this is worse now with the new runner

but I'm not stuck, the r# runner runs them fine

@mikeh36

Anyone running into an issue with 16.2.1 not installing in an offline scenario? My install command is vs_community.exe --quiet --nocache --noWeb --wait --in <path to custom json file>. The custom .json contains the same workloads as in my download command and I've been using it for all versions of 2019 so far. Even if I just try to launch vs_community.exe it tries to run and then just closes. In my logs I get a 5003 error.

@EwaldStricker

Hi also cannt install vs offline,
steps to reproduce

How can i perform offline offline installation of vs 2019?

mikeh36

@mikeh36

Found the issue.. See here: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/664198/vs-2019-unable-to-install-offline.html

Basically 16.2.x is broken for offline install until they fix the cert it's trying to reference.

EwaldStricker

@EwaldStricker

Hi mikeh36 thanks for your hint. I tried the workarround regarding to your link but didn't solves the issue. Kr Ewald

Art Leonard

@artl93

Hi, folks, sorry for the slow response. Yes, we're aware of the issue with the offline install and are working on getting a fix out quickly (read: days, not weeks). @EwaldStricker - since the workaround didn't work for you, please open a new issue from the installer (connected to the internet) and / or contact our chat support. By logging an issue, we can get logs from you and continue the conversation to make sure you get unblocked. Additionally, chat support is free for installation issues, and they are quite familiar with diagnosing offline install failures.

@fsnick

Using the Solution Configuration Manager I can disable building a certain project when the solution is built by unticking the Build column for that project. Is there a way to do the same for tests, so a certain test project is not run unless done explicitly? Disabling Build still includes it when doing "Run All Tests" even though it's not built.

zomgrolf

@zomgrolf

Is it possible to install side-by-side two versions of Visual Studio (e.g. two Professional editions of VS2019), one of which is on the service baseline, while the other isn't? Possibly using two different accounts? And if it isn't, is it possible to get off the service baseline without reinstalling VS?

Andrew Hall

@ryzngard

@fsnick does unloading the test project work?

@zomgrolf should be possible as long as the install paths are different

fsnick

@fsnick

@ryzngard is probably does, but wanted to have the project available in the solution for explicit testing

But as it seems to be not possible I'll probably do some conditional skips based on env variables

Andrew Hall

@ryzngard

@fsnick you should probablystill file a bug, I was just suggesting a potential workaround

fsnick

@fsnick

Yep, thanks. Don't think it's a bug though, probably just not supported

I found a workaround that just skips tests when some env vars aren't available. Seems to work

@MatthewS2077
