Can anyone advise how you show files/folders not included in a project on the Mac version of Visual studio?
I've looked through every menu I can find and cant figure how!?
Add folder to workspace, If I understood you.
Finally found the relevant option:
Right click on root solution, click display options, select show all files.

Why would VS2019 (with VisualGdb) refuse to show added files the solution explorer?
I found some workaround, i will post as an answer. But i'm still quite interested in the explanation of the underlying problem.
Additional info: opening the project file (.vcxproj) shows that the files are actually added to the project, only they are "invisible" in the project explorer.
I'm not sure, if this issue is VS-related or VisualGDB-related, or even layer-8-related, but hopefully this answer will help some people anyway.
So after trying many things not leading to success, i found this workaround:
In the project file (.vcxproj), i actually found entries for theses "invisible" files, and after deleting them and re-opening VS, i added these files again in the soluton explorer. Only this time, they correctly showed up in the solution explorer.
Weird: a compare tool showed not the slightest change in the project file, so there got to be some underlying issue.
I've reinstalled Visual Studio Mac, deleted all bin and obj folders, cleaned and rebuilt my solution.
But I can't navigate to symbols. It says...
Cannot navigate to the symbol under the claret.
Any ideas? Is there a stash of VS data somewhere that I can delete with extreme prejudice?
Have you already searched your hard disk with "Visual Studio" or something? Maybe there're some files somewhere.
One project appeared twice in the solution file. I removed one of the references.
I am trying to start a side-project to learn some MVC coding.
I am having some weird behaviour when I have reopened my MVC project.
The classes I created "Backpacker" and "Booking" are not showing up in the solution explorer. I have tried pressing the "Show all files" button, but this does not help.
As you can see in the screenshots, I have the class file open, and the path is pointing to the current project. Also you can see that my classes are in the same directory as the other classes that are visible in the models folder.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening? It is hugely frustrating and I feel like maybe I have not configured something correctly?
Thanks in advance
//EDIT//
Darn it - I tried the "Show all files" once more and this time it seemed to "almost" work... see the newest screenshot.
However Visual Studio is still obviously not connecting them to the project correctly.... does anyone know why? or how to fix/prevent this in future?
Cheers.
Alright so this problem was my own fault. I overlooked something I had done without realising what was actually happening.
When I added my new classes through solution explorer, that was all done fine. However When I closed visual studio and had the following prompt:
I clicked "no" because I usually work with XSLT which doesn't require saving the solution for my changes to be kept.
When you add references to new class files in your project, the project needs to be saved or you will lose this data (duhhh).
To fix this issue I did the following:
And then made sure I SAVED THE SOLUTION changes.
Thanks for your help - hopefully this may be of use to other people.
I copied my grails app to another computer and now .gsp files do not open in the editor. They also show a G icon with an arrow next to them. Dragging and dropping or double clicking do nothing. Updating intellij didn't help either
As Dónal mentioned, Grails is not one of the frameworks supported by IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition (you need the Ultimate Edition). You can view the feature comparison here.
Hi I am probably answering now when u no longer need the answer but I bumped into the same issue yesterday and only solved it now. There are chances that you associated the .gsp file type with a program which cannot be opened by intellij in your case GOSU. To fix it go to: File>Settings>Editor>File Types
In the file types go to Gosu Program Source and *.gsp should be in the registered patterns. Remove it and apply changes then you are good to go.
Re-installing community version fixed and gsp files now open in the editor
I'm learning Ruby on Rails, using Aptana 3 on Windows7 as my IDE. I created my first project as part of a tutorial. But now when I try to go back and study the MVC files that were generated they don't appear in the project explorer or app explorer windows like they did when I created my project. Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps I didn't enter the correct path when Apatana prompted me for my workspace name? How can I know what workspace I originally used when I set up the project?
Thank you for helping out a newbie!
What U need to do is
1>go to project explorer (right side of app.explorer),if not available then go to windows menu>show views>Project explorer and locate your application
2>then right click on its name(Main Application's name) and click on Promote to Project (by doing this a popup menu will open)
3>First of all enable the check box Rails, then same for ruby and then uncheck the box for Web- Primary and click on Finish
Now navigate to your App. tab , you can see you application with all of its folder
[P.S. stretch aptana's screen after you click on finish button to menu bar :D as I think I think aptana has that problem by default ]
Hope It helped !!!
