MEF Cache

[kbzowski]

I have upgraded Visual Studio to 2015 and reinstalled VisualGDB 5 beta 4. Now, each time when I am trying to open any file in VisualGDB project I see:
“Cannot connect to the smart tag backend. Do you want to attempt fixing this by resetting the MEF cache?”. I agree and restarted Visual Studio. But next time, when I am trying to open anything I see exactly the same error.

 

Best regards,
Krzysztof Bzowski

Can you try uninstalling VisualGDB, restarting and installing it again? If this does not help, please let us know which other VS extensions you are using.

Uninstalling, rebooting, and installing again did not fix the problem.

This is info about my installation. AFAIK I am using only Resharper.

I get the same problem using the Community version?

I got the same problem after updating from Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise RC to Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise.

I uninstalled the RC Version incl. Visual GDB 5 beta, then installed Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise & Visual GDB 5 beta again.

The pop-up comes up everytime I open a sourcefile for editing or searching.

I am also experiencing this issue with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise & Visual GDB 5.0 beta 4, and I had also recently uninstalled VS 2015 RC to update to the release version. The pop-up shows every time I open a source file for editing or searching as well.

Hi,

Thanks everyone, we got a repro. Looks like the final build of VS2015 initializes editor extensions in a different way causing a problem with VisualGDB. We will release a hotfix within the next 24 hours.

[support]

Please try this build: http://files.sysprogs.com/tmp/VisualGDB-5.0.13.470.msi

Bazis, I am no longer getting the error with the build you linked 🙂

However, I’m not seeing the smart tags for renaming things. My testing is on an Embedded project written in C++, I haven’t tried other project types to see if they exhibit the same problem.

Bazis, disregard my mention of the smart tag issue — I was just doing it wrong, it’s working fine!

[kbzowski]

It fixed the problem. Thank you.
