SmartCommandlineArgs Could not load file or assembly Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.Managed

Hello,

I am not able to load plugin v3.0. In ActivityLog.xml I see this

To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

I also tried to disable all my other plugins. Noting changed. Error occurs with both slightly older VS2022 17.8.x and also with the latest 17.9.5. I also tried pre-release version v3.0.1 suggested in other tickets. Unfortunately I ended up with different error:

For now downgrading to v2.6 solves the issue for me. Am I missing some .NET dependency? I have pure C++ setup of Visual Studio.

Apr 03 '24 08:04 m1lhaus

Hi, unfortunately I cant reproduce this issue but I tried another fix in v3.0.2. Could you try it and report back if the issue persists?

Apr 03 '24 08:04 Irame

Hi, I tested with 3.02 on 17.9.5, got the same error as @m1lhaus <description>SetSite failed for package...

Apr 03 '24 09:04 kim2048

Hi, thanks for the reply, could you please provide the full error? I need the call stack to see the cause of this error, because a lot of things can cause a "SetSite failed" error.

Apr 03 '24 09:04 Irame

Sure

Hi, this is odd and I am a bit clueless at this point. One option we have is to enable fusion logging (as described here) and see what it says. The relevant log file is "C:\FusionLog\Default\devenv.exe\Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.Managed, Version=2.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35.HTM" I think. For me it says that it loads the assembly from "c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\2022\community\common7\ide\extensions\microsoft\managedprojectsystem\Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.Managed.dll". Does this file exist for you?

It is very frustrating that I can't reproduce this issue myself. If I find the time, I will setup a virtual machine and try some pure CPP setup of VisualStudio this evening.

Apr 03 '24 10:04 Irame

It would also be awesome if you could compare the old v2.6 with v3.0.2, because both need this dependency and it would be interesting how it is loaded if the older extension is used.

Apr 03 '24 11:04 Irame

Hi, I will try the fusion after lunch.

The file does only exist in this folder on my machine: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_4a195583\Extensions\idkwsctv.jdg\Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.Managed.dll

Thanks for the quick response. Which extension is installed at "C:\USERS\KIM\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\17.0_4A195583\EXTENSIONS\IDKWSCTV.JDG" ?

Apr 03 '24 11:04 Irame

I cannot work without your extension ;)

Apr 03 '24 11:04 kim2048

can you try the old version (v2.6.0) of the extension?

Apr 03 '24 11:04 Irame

2.6.0 loads fine, the fusion 2.0.1.0 log wasn't touched:

grafik

Any other log you want to see?

Apr 03 '24 11:04 kim2048

SmartCmdArgs-vs2022-v3.0.2.1.vsix.zip can you try this version? (Had to zip it because github does not like vsix files)

Apr 03 '24 12:04 Irame

Doesn't work.

2.6.0 loads fine, the fusion 2.0.1.0 log wasn't touched:

Any other log you want to see?

Can you show me the log for 17.9.0.0 because there is a redirect in the log file of 2.0.1.0 to 17.9.0.0. And can you check which was from our assembly? (Calling assembly : SmartCmdArgs17)

I started VS again and 17.5.0.0 was the only touched file:

Here are the 3 files:

SmartCmdArgs-vs2022-v3.0.2.2.vsix.zip You can try this kind of hacky version if you want, but I have to pause this for now and take a detailed look at it on the weekend.

Apr 03 '24 12:04 Irame

Ok, last try... and it works :)

I will use it the next days and notify you if something does not work. Thanks a lot!

Apr 03 '24 13:04 kim2048

Great to hear, but I wont make this a official release I think. The amount of dependency version warnings I got when compiling was kind of scary 😅. It would be great to have a way to contact you if I need someone to test some better solution, do you have a E-Mail I could use or something else?

Apr 03 '24 13:04 Irame

You should consider rolling back this release, VS auto-updated this plugin which blocked some programmers in the company I work for. The solution was to rollback to 2.6 manually.

Apr 03 '24 13:04 mburetorp

Ok I will do that. It is kind of annoying that VisualStudio auto updates a version that is tagged as "preview".

Apr 03 '24 13:04 Irame

I really could use this feature right now: microsoft/vsmarketplace#875

Apr 03 '24 13:04 Irame

I uploaded a "new" version v3.1 which is the same as v2.6.

@kim2048 could you please do me a favor and check the "C:\Users\kim\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_4a195583\devenv.exe.config" file? The version redirects are read from there. Somewhere in that file there should be a section that looks something like this:

<dependentAssembly>
	<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.Managed" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral"/>
	<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-17.8.0.0" newVersion="17.8.0.0"/>
	<codeBase version="17.8.0.0" href="c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\2022\community\common7\ide\extensions\microsoft\managedprojectsystem\Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.Managed.dll"/>
</dependentAssembly>

The <codeBase> tag points to the location where the new version should be found. Where does this point to on your machine? Is there a file?

Apr 03 '24 16:04 Irame

Hi, there is no <codeBase> tag, neither a Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.Managed.dll entry.

<dependentAssembly>
	<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.Managed" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral"/>
	<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-17.9.0.0" newVersion="17.9.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>

I was also receiving something very similar to this in VS2019 when it auto updated to 3.0, rolling back to 2.6 fixed it. I can go back to 3.0 at some point if you need logs etc. My panel was showing, expect it was failing to load, and the panel itself was showing exception info. I'm also a C++ only setup.

Apr 03 '24 18:04 mackie89

Ok, I could reproduce the issue in a VM and figured out a solution (which was surprisingly simple, as it often is). Could you try v3.0.3 and report back if the issue is gone for you too or if it's just me. 😄

Apr 03 '24 21:04 Irame

No that sadly made it worse, VS opened, the loading the solution and projects pop up appeared, finished, closed, but then VS just "hung" with the spinning mouse icon. My layout didn't load in I was just waiting in an empty VS with no panels / layout. It didn't make VS unresponsive just stayed in the solution initialization phase of VS startup. I opened VS without the solution, disabled the plugin, and then was able to get in to the solution (without my cmd arg panel anymore). I reenabled the plugin, was able to open the solution (still without the panel), as soon as I went into View > Other Windows, VS completely locked up.
