Initializing MSBuild project tools runs forever about msbuild-project-tools-vscode HOT 14 OPEN

It did not attempt to download again for me

from msbuild-project-tools-vscode.

Hi - are you able to post the log from the output window where it talks about trying to download .net 8?

from msbuild-project-tools-vscode.

tintoy.msbuild-project-tools requested to download the .NET Runtime.
Downloading .NET version(s) 8.0.2~x64 ........................................................................................

The dots go on forever

from msbuild-project-tools-vscode.

Hmm - that’s odd; I’ll see if I can figure out how to get the .net acquisition extension to log more extensively…

from msbuild-project-tools-vscode.

Sorry for the delay, work’s been a little full-on this week.

Are you able to try the steps linked below to point it at your existing dotnet installation? I’d like to see if the problem is with detection or download…

This extension has the Id tintoy.msbuild-project-tools.

from msbuild-project-tools-vscode.

tintoy.msbuild-project-tools requested to download the .NET Runtime.
Using configured .NET path: C:\dev\dotnet\dotnet.exe

from msbuild-project-tools-vscode.

And does it still do the dots forever?

from msbuild-project-tools-vscode.

In my case it downloaded in a previous session successfully.

But when I open vscode now, it shows that message forever, without trying to download anything (because that was already done). The workaround is to close and reopen.

(BTW I'm still using v7, but the extension is on v8 - is that a problem?)

I wouldn’t have thought so; I’m still trying to reproduce the issue but I’ll try setting up a container tomorrow morning and see if I can get it to happen…
