Build project failure

[kurtwilbies]

I tried to build the project in vs 2017 but I keep getting errors (assembly testing fake). Can you please build the project and release it, otherwise this is a useless repo.

[WillStrohl]

Can you please provide more details about what is happening when you build?

[kurtwilbies]

Error relating to Microsoft.QualityTools.Testing.Fakes. See for a fix https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudioalm/2014/11/23/avoiding-visual-studio-fakes-build-break/. Can you publish an install package of hotcakes?

[kingjordan]

This may be an issue with what version of visual studio you are running. https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/compare/
fakes is for use with enterprise, so if you run professional you won't be able to build this project
this is a reference for anyone else who might end up here

[WillStrohl]

@kurtwilbies @kingjordan We've always been using VS Enterprise, so it was far too easy to include an incompatible feature. Do you have any suggestions to make it more compatible with other VS editions?

[kingjordan]

I have only used professional and I have never tried to work on an enterprise solution from an outside source, so I don't think I can help you here

[WillStrohl]

Well, we'll keep this open for now to see if anyone comes up with a suggestion. We didn't intend for there to be any features that are incompatible with other editions of VS, so we'd like to address that as soon as we can.

I tried to build the project in vs 2015 (using Enterprise) ,but keep getting errors.
And is this solution will work with DNN 8 ?

[WillStrohl]

@BhawanaPokhariya Could you please provide specific details about the errors you're receiving? If they're different than what you see in this issue, please provide those details in a new issue. And, yes, Hotcakes works in DNN 8 and 9.

@Navilois Hotcakes only builds with Enterprise versions of Visual Studio, due to usage of Fakes, which are an enterprise feature. At some point these should be removed, since most OSS developers will not have access to visual studio enterprise.

[WillStrohl]

You can work around this by not including the tests project in the build process.
