Installed product versions

  • Windows 7
  • Visual Studio: 2017 Enterprise 15.4.1
  • This extension: 1.1.24

Description

After installing an extension in Visual Studio 2017 running on Windows 7, it simply does not work or even have a presence in Visual Studio. The right click menu option does not appear, in tools->options->text editor->javascript/typescript no new 'generate d.ts' option appears. If you make a change to any .cs files that previously had .d.ts generated (originally generated with VS 2015 with web essentials) it causes a null reference exception.

Official Error:

An exception has been encountered. This may be caused by an extension. You can get more information by examining the file 'C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_123e5413\ActivityLog.xml'

Steps to recreate

  1. Install Extension in Visual Studio running on Windows 7 machine
  2. Try to use extension in any way.
  3. Pow! No Dice! It's busted.

Current behavior

It doesn't work at all - The right click menu option does not appear, in tools->options->text editor->javascript/typescript no new 'generate d.ts' option appears. If you make a change to any .cs files that previously had .d.ts generated (originally generated with VS 2015 with web essentials) it causes a null reference exception.

Expected behavior

It should be doing what is outlined here: https://github.com/madskristensen/TypeScriptDefinitionGenerator or labeled as ONLY WORKS FOR WINDOWS 10.

I verified this by installing the extension in Visual Studio 2017 15.4.2 on Windows 10 and it worked flawlessly. I'm assuming it's Windows 7 thing, but just due diligence here.

Thanks!
