Is there any way to read extension version number from within the extension?
We are manually adding version to vss-extension.json and task.json . It will be great help if someone provide guidelines to retrieve version from either of these places.
1) vss-extension.json
2) task.json
You could use Build and Release tasks for Extensions which released by Microsoft.
This extension provides build and release tasks for packaging and publishing Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) extensions to the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Use the query version task: query an extension's version (to make it easy to increment on your next package or publish)
For how to do this, you could refer the source code in GitHub.

I am not able to determine, which version of the SpecFlow Visual Studio plugin I need to run the old version 2.2.0 of SpecFlow
Due to administrative constraints, we cannot use any other SpecFlow version than 2.2.0
I have tried several older versions of the VS plugin, but with my existing Code (based on SpecFlow 2.2.0), all these result in the error:
Error CS1029 #error: 'Version conflict - SpecFlow Visual Studio extension
attempted to use SpecFlow code-behind
generator 1.9, but project 'XXXXXXX' references SpecFlow 2.2.'
I suppose that I need some plugin Version, that works internally with 2.2
I cannot use the SpecFlow.Tools.MsBuild.Generation package, as this is not yet supported with 2.2.0.
Anyone can help me out? The release history of the SpecFlow Visual Studio Plugins can be found here:
https://github.com/techtalk/SpecFlow.VisualStudio/releases
EDIT
I use Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.6)
In the "packages" folder there are SpecFlow-2.2.0 and SpecFlow.MsTest-2.2.0. I deleted them, I deleted the nuget package Cache and rebuild the solution.
Problem still exists.
The error you are seeing has nothing to do with the suggestions in the comments. It is an additional check we added to the extension.
For SpecFlow 2.2 you have to use an older version of the extension. You can find them at https://github.com/techtalk/SpecFlow.VisualStudio/releases
When I am remembering correctly v2017.2.7 should work for it.
Don't forget to turn off automatic updates of the extension. If you do, you will get again the latest version.
Blog post about how to do it is here: https://specflow.org/2018/vs-integration-breaking-changes-affects-all-users/
Full disclosure: I am one of the SpecFlow and SpecFlow+ developers.
make sure you install the right Specflow extension for your VS(try uninstall and reinstall as well) also make sure you set "Enable SpecflowSingleFileGenerator to false" in VS>Tools>Options>Specflow. you only need this to be true for version 3 onward I suppose.
I had this issue, and while It worked to some extend however, I just install VS 2015 and use specflow 2.2 under that. you should be able to make it work for VS 17 I guess.
I have successfully set up continuous integration process using TeamCity for non-SalesForce projects, but need help with automating SalesFoce manage packages installation.
To migrate metadata from source to target org, I used ant migration tool, but how to do in case of managed packages?
Questions:
How will TeamCity know that the new package has been created? I may watch the changes in source code tool, but not in the cloud where the created package is stored.
How to get the latest version of the package from the cloud? I need to compare the versions of the packages: the installed one and the new one
How to install the package?
Please help.
I checked SF documentation and found that SF API provides ability to install, upgrade and uninstall Managed Packages. Also it provides ability to run some Apex code after these actions. I think, you need to move in this way. Here is related documentation.
We are using the Google Test framework (version 1.7) for unit tests in C++ project (with Visual Studio 2012 and TFS 2012). By using GoogleTestRunner for VS2012 I am able to discover the tests written in Google Test within Visual Studio and run them. So far so good :)
Now I would like to run the tests with my CI build I have set up on our TFS. Therefore I have installed the GoogleTestRunner on my build server for the user that runs our build. If I run the build (and tests) on the build server directly in Visual Studio it works - but when the build is triggered by the TFS build definition I displays the following message in the log:
No test found. Make sure that installed test discoverers & executors,
platform & framework version settings are appropriate and try again.
Any suggestion what I am missing?
Is this working for anybody at all?
Your help is highly appreciated!
Christoph
I have been able to sort it out myself :)
There is a guide showing how to get it running for NUnit. Just follow that guide and adopt it to the GoogleTestRunner:
http://bartwullems.blogspot.de/2012/10/tfs-2012-build-configure-nunit-to-run.html
I extracted the DLLs from the GoogleTestRunner.vsix file with 7zip (I assume any other Zip program would work as well). I checked in all DLLs I found there (as described in the mentioned guide) - don't know if really all DLLs are needed.
Does Android Studio support Ant builds?
I want to run a before-compilation Ant target.
Android Studio is new, so it seems possible it's not supported in favor of Gradle.
[EDIT]
So it seems that Studio isn't meant to fully support Ant builds (see comments)
It worked fine for me until now, but I suppose there are specific configuration were it won't work as well.
InteliJ IDEA 13 EAP has all Studio features and supports Ant.
I would also like to point out that Gradle also support pre-build tasks, so you might want to consider switching to Gradle.
For those who will go will make that choice, you can generate a Gradle buil from your Eclipse project (Note : I haven't tested it, but it should take you less than minutes to try it out and see if it works for your project).
[ORIGINAL REPLY]
Android Studio definitively supports Ant builds. I have been using it on my company's project and it works fine.
But you are right that it strongly recommend Gradle, making it the default compiler for all new project created with Android Studio (but you could actually switch back to Ant).
Finally, as JoeHz pointed out, Android Studio is based on the open source version of IntelliJ, so you can also go download this version (which is currently much more stable than Android Studio).
Android Studio is based on Intellij IDEA which certainly supports Ant. It can also read the Android Studio project file.
If you can deal with the two Android Studio features that currently aren't in the IDEA 13 EAP yet, you can download that and create an Ant Build.

I am using EF 4.0, at the time I am writing these lines I heard that EF 4.1 update 1 has been released and EF 4.2 is in beta. From wikipedia
A refresh of version 4.1 named Entity Framework 4.1 Update 1, was
released on July 25, 2011. It includes bug fixes and new supported
types.
But I only found a link of Version 4.1.10311.0 from Microsoft which date published is 3/21/2011. So I wonder if version 4.1.10311.0 is the latest release so far. If it's not, where can I download the latest release ?
ps : For some reasons I can't use live update, I need to download package to install manually.
From Arthur Vickers:
What if I can’t use NuGet? What if you can’t connect to the Internet
from your development machine. Or what if you are not allowed to
install NuGet on your machine. Don’t worry; all is not lost.
First you need to get the NuGet package. For this you do need to be
able to connect to the Internet from some machine—but it doesn’t have
to be your development machine. You’re reading this so presumably
you’re not completely off-the-grid. :-)
You can get the package by using NuGet in Visual Studio on a machine
connected to the Internet in the normal way—just install the package
you want into a dummy project. After installing the package you can
find the .nupkg file either in the dummy project folder or by browsing
the Package Cache from the Package Manager Settings menu option.
You can also get the package without Visual Studio by using NuGet.exe.
If you are able to install NuGet on your development machine then do
so and setup a local feed. This may sound daunting but it’s really
easy. Copy the .nupkg file to your local feed and then use NuGet to
install it in the normal way—with no connection to the Internet
required.
If you can’t install NuGet on your development machine then take the
.nupkg file and rename it to .zip—yep, it’s a zip file. You can now
extract EntityFramework.dll from the zip file and use it as you would
any other assembly. Note that you will not get any of the automatic
project-level integration I mentioned above, so you may have to do
more manual configuration of your project.
If you are using EFv4.0 you mostly don't need EFv4.1 or EFv4.2. Those versions bring new type of mapping (code first / fluent) and new DbContext API which can be used instead of ObjectContext API. So unless you want to start a new project with those "new" features or completely migrate your existing project you don't need it. Real new functionality for you will be included in .NET 4.5. DbContext API and code first is shipped only as NuGet package since EFv4.2.
use the package-manager in VS2010 to install
Tools + Library Package Manager + Nuget package manager
EF 4.2 has just been released: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/adonet/archive/2011/11/01/ef-4-2-released.aspx
This is a minor update over 4.1.
The runtime components are available via NuGet. The designer etc. updates for VS are a separate install.
