Seems to cancel build too aggressively
Hi I recently downloaded this plugin & installed in in VS2017(using it with C++)., it is nice, but I think I've found a few issues.
I turned on the feature to cancel the build if an error happens(Stop Build on First Error)
For the most part it does work, but I have found two issues.
-
Sometimes it appears to cancel the build for no particular reason(there was no error)
-
Sometimes a zombie MSBuild is left behind after it cancels, this prevents future compiles from writing to a log file that the IDE wants to write, and thus you can no longer build, and must restart the IDE to fix the issue. #2 happens rather often...
The false cancels also seem to cause the IDE to think the build is up date, thus it will refuse to actually build the code after this happens, and ends up running out of date code(have to force build whatever files it missed).
Thanks
I also had this issue and guessed that it was caused by some extension. I reinstalled Visual studio and then the issue disappeared (with to extensions at all). I am now in the process of installing the extensions again (I am installing them one by one with a few hours of developing in between). So far I works fine, (have installed this extension and ClangFormat extension ATM)
