Search source files that are located in Linux machine from VisualGDB

[ckw089]

Hi,

I have VisualGDB project, and the source files are located in Linux machine.

I open the VisualGDB project from Microsoft Visual Studio Profession 2017.

I try to search function/variable name in the code using “Edit / Find and Replace / Find in Files” in Visual Studio, it does not seem to be able to search the source files in Linux machine.

Any advice ?

Hi,

Sorry, remote text search in Linux files is not yet supported. Search in all files works for projects that cache the files on the Windows machine (e.g. when you configure VisualGDB to upload files during build, or to use Windows/Linux shared folders). Projects using direct SSH access support IntelliSense-powered search (go-to-definition, find references, etc), but not the plain text search yet.
