VS 2017 - Codemaid thinks files opened from "lightweight" projects are external

[michaelaird]

Environment

• Visual Studio version: 2017 RC
• CodeMaid version: 10.2.7
• Code language: C#

Description

When the solution is opened in "lightweight mode" not all the projects are loaded. If you navigate into a file in a project that is not fully loaded (ie. go to definition), when you tell CodeMaid to clean it, CodeMaid thinks the file is external.

Steps to recreate

1. Open a solution in "lightweight mode"
2. Navigate into a file in a project that is not fully loaded (use go to definition, etc)
3. Clean the file

Current behavior

CodeMaid shows the dialog that the file is external and some cleanup actions may not be available.

Expected behavior

Ideally, it would prompt to load the project or do so silently in the background before cleaning.

Thanks for the suggestion. Have you seen any code samples for how to detect that state and/or request a project load?

@codecadwallader Perhaps some of this documentation on Lightweight solution loading from the VS2017 SDK would help
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/extensibility/lightweight-solution-load-extension-impact

Thanks for the documentation. I did discuss LSL mode with someone from Microsoft a couple months back as they were starting to push it harder. One of the main sticking points is that LSL mode is really only compatible with the newer Roslyn APIs, not the EnvDTE APIs that CodeMaid has been based on since VS2005 days. We know that a Roslyn rewrite (see #251) is inevitable for long term support of CodeMaid going forwards, but its a very large undertaking.

Is there any possibility of an interim solution ? Ie. check VSHPROPID9.VSHPROPID_IsDeferred for the project codemaid thinks is external and prompt to load it?
