Pre release version breaks Extension Manager

Matt Ellis edited this page Feb 24, 2014 · 1 revision

So, the version I released on February 20th 2014 is broken for 8.1. It's a pre-release package, and only has 29 downloads, but it's a nasty break.

It's compiled against a local version of ReSharper, so .net fails to load the references. But the killer is that it breaks the Extension Manager, so you can't go to the Extension Manager to update.

Here's what you do:

  1. Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains\ReSharper\vAny\packages
  2. Delete the PreviewTab.1.1.2-EAP-20130220 folder
  3. Go to %APPDATA%\JetBrains\ReSharper\vAny
  4. Edit the packages.config file and remove the line containing <package id="PreviewTab"...
  5. Start Visual Studio, go to ReSharper -> Extension Manager and reinstall the preview tab extension. The latest version (1.1.2-EAP-20140224) works correctly with ReSharper 8.1

Apologies for the inconvenience
