Project template doesn't appear in Add New Project Dialog

[matewoj]

Hi,

I've done everything as you described in tutorial "How to create a project template"

Unfortunately when I finished tutorial project didn't appear in Add New Project Dialog.

Could you send me Project Template example for Visual Studio 2013

Visual Studio 2013
SideWaffle 1.20.339

_preprocess.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Preprocess>
  <TemplateInfo Path="CSharp\Web"/>
  <Replacements Include="*.*" Exclude="*.vstemplate;*.fsproj;*.vbproj;*.jpg;*.png;*.ico;_preprocess.xml;_project.vstemplate.xml">
    <add key="MvcTemplate" value="$safeprojectname$"/>
  </Replacements>
</Preprocess>

_project.vstemplate.xml:

<VSTemplate Version="3.0.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005" Type="Project">
  <TemplateData>
    <Name>Your name here</Name>
    <Description>Project description here</Description>
    <DefaultName>MvcTemplate</DefaultName>
    <ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType>
    <ProjectSubType>
    </ProjectSubType>
    <SortOrder>1000</SortOrder>
    <CreateNewFolder>true</CreateNewFolder>
    <ProvideDefaultName>true</ProvideDefaultName>
    <LocationField>Enabled</LocationField>
    <EnableLocationBrowseButton>true</EnableLocationBrowseButton>
    <Icon>sw-file-icon.png</Icon>
    <TemplateID>87960f67-3c0a-46ea-83f9-0ec41334decd</TemplateID>
    <!-- Indicates how many parent folders this item template should appear in -->
    <NumberOfParentCategoriesToRollUp>1</NumberOfParentCategoriesToRollUp>
  </TemplateData>
  <TemplateContent>
    <Project TargetFileName="MvcTemplate.csproj" File="MvcTemplate.csproj" ReplaceParameters="true">
    </Project>
    <CustomParameters>
      <CustomParameter Name="SideWaffle Project Template Files" Value="Your name here" />
      <CustomParameter Name="8e0a6fff-7069-4384-9bb3-5e53d6cbb0b3" Value="f292d270-4e1c-416b-9434-1e3a6bb9b7a6" />
      <CustomParameter Name="Item" Value="Item" />
    </CustomParameters>
  </TemplateContent>
  <WizardExtension>
    <Assembly>LigerShark.Templates, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null</Assembly>

</VSTemplate>

Good morning @frenc and thank you for filing this issue! In order to help us understand your situation can you answer a the question below for me?

1. After following the steps outline in the wiki article did you install the VSIX file that was generated?

[matewoj]

Yes, I installed VSIX file but it didn't help anyway

[PallasDoesCode]

In your _project.vstemplate.xml file under the CreateNewFolder element try adding the following line:

<CreateInPlace>true</CreateInPlace>

You'll then need to rebuild your template. I'd also like to note that if you will use Ctrl + F5 to do a Run without Debugging on the project then Visual Studio will open another instance of it but in Experimental Mode. This mode automatically installs your VSIX file and will allow you to test any changes you have made without actually uninstalling and reinstalling your VSIX file multiple times.

[matewoj]

Thanks for your advice but unfortunately it doesn't work

[PallasDoesCode]

@sayedihashimi any ideas what might be missing?

[matewoj]

Could you send me some sample project for visual studio 2013 which I'll be able to check in my environment ?

[sayedihashimi]

@frenc on disk is the project filename MvcTemplate.csproj? If that is right then remove the following

  <WizardExtension>
    <Assembly>LigerShark.Templates, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null</Assembly>
    <FullClassName>LigerShark.Templates.GoogleAnalyticsWizard</FullClassName>
  </WizardExtension>

and try again.

@frenc did that fix your issue?

[matewoj]

thanks for help but it didn't help me. I send project created in Visual Studio 2013.
Could anyone say what is wrong.
