Openvs

[glennblock]

Sending the PR to give visibility and get some other eyes on it. Unit tests are still missing.

This introduces a new :openvs REPL command which creates a debuggable solution for scripts and then launches Visual Studio. You get full debugger support, step through, watches, etc!

Essentially it automates the approach here which @dschenkelman came up with. When you run the command, it will grab all scripts in the folder (including sub-folders) of the script you specified and add them to the solution.

Below you can see a screenshot of debugging a script in VS 2015 after running the command.

Today this only supports Visual Studio as the project structure which it creates is not supported in VS Code, OR in Xamarin Studio. XS doesn't "seem" to have as rich support for an "exe" style project. I tried hacking the equivalent in using an XBuild project, but that didn't work. For reference, here is the .sln created for the screenshot.

A few community requests:

• @jamesmontemagno if you have any ideas on how to do the equiv in Xamarin, I'd appreciate it!
• @shanselman any chance of getting a flow like this to work in VS Code?
• @mat-mcloughlin Omnisharp Sublime etc?

Going to tag in @nosami and @david-driscoll as they can probably offer seem contributions here

@scriptcs/core this has been completely refactored / cleaned up and now has full unit test coverage.

One breaking change, it introduces a TempPath property on IFileSystem which is used for grabbing the temp folder for writing the solution. This breaking change "could" be removed by moving the method to the IVisualStudioSolutionWriter, but it seemed like a gap that should be there so I added it.

@scriptcs/core I ended up moving everything in hosting, rather than core. The main reason is because it seemed inappropriate / heavy to put it in core.

can we get a better signature on a public member here? i.e. a descriptive type instead of a list of Tuple which is very difficult to comprehend
